Thanks, Chef Ray! You are always so kind. It’s a pleasure to share your posts – your dishes are so beautifully photographed and the recipes so easy. I must make your MaPo tofu soon. And thanks for the kind comments on my baking and cooking. When you have a hungry family, one has to keep baking and cooking, nonstop. I also did these Vanilla Sugar Snaps for a fundraiser – Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, which is very special to my heart. Merry Christmas, as well!

Thanks, Erin! Your Chewy Molasses Cookies were the first to get here, and the first to be gone. They were terrific. So glad to have met you via the Great Food Bloggers Cookie Swap. What a fun event that brought us all together for a good cause. Thanks for the recipe and blog-visit!
