My Father-In-Law, Eric's birthday was earlier this month, but we celebrated it late due scheduling conflicts. Some Eric tid bits-he's a kind of a quiet guy (he and I are cut from the same cloth on that one), dearly loves his wife (naturally), loves to read, play Scrabble, shop at Costco, eat interesting foods, and is a real softie when it comes to babies and children. As I type this post, I realize Eric and I have a lot of things in common. Although I'm not a Costco member, which is probably a relief for our checking account. Normally he's traveling all over the country teaching bridge inspection courses, but we were fortunate enough to spend some time with him last weekend. Last year I made him some bridge cookies. I'm going to have really brainstorm for next year's batch.
This is actually my second round with Scrabble cookies, but the first one said Happy Valentine's Day and I didn't get a picture of them. So you'll have to take my word on their cuteness. You see I jumped the gun and made Eric cookies before I realized that we wouldn't be getting together for another few weeks. Fortunately, my co-workers and my husband's co-workers don't mind (reject) extra cookies.
Special thanks to Bridget of Bake 350 for her creative use of scrabble letters.
