"Seasonal Food" was the prompt for the Usk Sketchmas Day 4. When I think of the holidays I think of all the cookies I used to bake. I always started immediately after Thanksgiving and baked several batches each night. Before Christmas vacation I packed up most of them to give to friends in the school I worked in. It was a big thing when I started passing out cookie tins. One of my good friends and her husband were in Peru adopting their son and had to spend several weeks there thru Christmas. I saved her cookies in my freezer and they enjoyed them when the came home. Now that I'm retired I only bake maybe 3 kinds and I only do a half batch of each.
For this sketch I headed to Pat's Marketplace in East Islip. I knew they had a bakery area and always had trays of cookies prepared.
