For the Fun

Today I baked and frosted a sugar cookie replica of one of my favorite games. For those of you not in the know, this be Settlers of Catan.

Of course, midway through the project I discovered that somebody else had already done this (albeit with gingerbread) only better. Ah, well.

Also. My husband and I have been indulging in an episode of Fraggle Rock now and then for a while now. In one episode Doc decides to figure out how to sew a button on a fried egg, after rediscovering the thought in his diary.

He spends all day on this project and is rather miffed when his friend on the phone asks why. He's an inventor. That's why. Or as he puts it, "What do you mean why? I haven't even figured out how yet... well maybe to fasten it to the toast so it won't fall off. That's why!"

So in that spirit I intend to sew a button on a fried egg. Hopefully my eggs will turn out like this. And I intend to make cookie buttons. I'll probably just use cooking twine to sew them on.

Honestly, I think it has been a tough work week for my husband. I think this sugar cookie surprise will make him smile. That's why!

Also. Consider watching this amusing song from the same episode. He sings the opposite message later.
