Baking Baking Baking

I'm on vacation from work from this past weekend until Dec 2nd, no work, no travel since I'm not going to PA. My parents are actually driving down to my brother's place since he was going to be spending thanksgiving there with his girlfriend. Somehow my parents invited themselves down? I'm not sure. But either way, too much driving and as much as I love my parents, I've seen them all summer. Plus thanksgiving and christmas are very close and I get more time off then and I'll spend a while visiting over that break.

So I'm on day four of vacation and I've been baking a ton. It's awesome. I'm going to a coworkers gathering on thursday and I'm taking a variety of cookies. So right now I have made cornmeal shortbread cookies, hazelnut cookies that need to have chocolate added. I'm going to make bacon snickerdoodles tomorrow since the bacon needs to thaw. I also want to make some kind of apple cookie since I have a million apples. Maybe an apple bar?
