Not sure how to email you directly, so I’m leaving this in the comments instead. (Hope that’s okay; I’ve been lurking and enjoying for a while, now courtesy of the Harlot.) Urgent question is: do you have any tips on washing instructions for a utilikilt — especially, how to keep it from curling?? My fella has one of the heavy-duty ones, and although we both love it, it’s pleats have started to curl rather than swing, and it’s starting to look a little less than great. I haven’t had much luck with their website, and thought it might be best to ask someone who wears one himself (and also knits great kilthose…which I aspire to, some day).
Thanks, and cheers!

Cookies are definitely better than flowers. You can’t eat flowers. Well, you can, but then people look at you funny and sometimes the ones they put in the arrangements are toxic and that’s no fun at all. I imagine the spraypainted carnations don’t taste very good and they always put those leathery leaves in, which you’d have to steam or boil before they’d be edible. They do come with a free glass of water to wash it all down, but it always kind of tastes funny and you get bits of the foamy stuff in it.
Cookies are way better.
Of course…cherries and strawberries and blackberries would be even better than that, but they don’t really ship well.

I’m soooo not the average woman based on this blog’s comments… Well, at least I have battle-scarred cookie sheets :~P

I wouldn’t advertise this…now if you sneeze wrong, someone might want cookie reparations!

Oh yeah - homemade cookies a way better idea than sending fllowers! Good move.

I have never seen a cleaner cookie sheet! Mine look like they have been used as drip pans in an auto shop. Maybe it’s time for some new ones…

Distance relationships can be difficult — but Penitence Cookies?
Major bonus.
And a mighty fine idea.
