The other 1,500 cookies...

Wow - why is my life just flying by right now?! It's totally crazy! I feel like everyday is just a busy blur with cookies swirling in the eye of the hurricane and before I know it I'm passing out in the batter only to get up and start another crazy day all over again. It's totally a good thing though. Anyway, my whole point is too apologize for taking a few days to tell you guys about the Heros on the Harbor event on Saturday because I know I promised to do it on Sunday. It was fantastic! I had never been aboard the U.S.S Midway before so to see the ship and explore all the historical aircrafts on board was totally cool. I learned that more people are qualified to perform brain surgery than to land a carrier. It's crazy hard and pretty scary to do! The setup of the event was beautiful and pretty much covered the entire flight desk of the ship. It was huge! I think there had to be at least over 20 wineries there, Jers Chocolate and my cookies were there and many others as well. The highlight of the night had to be Michael Israel's performance though. I had seen some of his youtube videos so I knew what to expect but those don't even compare to actually watching it in person. It's incredible! I was stoked too because he loved the cookies! Afterward, I think each painting got auctioned for no less than $10k, they were amazing! All in all it was a fantastic night and I'm so glad to have been able to take part in it. To see so many people show up to volunteer and attend and contribute to such a great cause again reminded of why I love this town so much!

Heros and Cookies

So, I'm kind of not sure whether I should be totally stoked or freaking out right now!! I just agreed to participate in providing samples of the cookies at the 2nd annual Heros on the Harbor event in San Diego honoring our wounded soilders aboard the USS Midway (http://www.herosontheharbor.com/) . It's a super cool event that features artist Michael Israel, who's absolutely incredible when he performs, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZFkZiwMLZ4) pretty rad stuff right?; some cool bands, fireworks, and best of all wine, chocolate and food - my three weaknesess. So why should I be freaking out? Becuase they're expecting around 1,500 people! I know it doesn't sound like that much and for some, maybe most, it's a piece of cake making 1,500 samples but when it's just me and my two hands that just sounds ridiculous!! According to my calculations from start to finish it takes me about 5 minutes to make one cookie...i know working on it.. but at that rate it'll take me five days to make them all..if I work 24 hours a day without snacking on any of them!! That's just insane. Anyone know someone who's in the mood to bake? For real though I'm stoked. I think the exposure's going to be fantastic for the cookies and it's such a great cause to support. Hope to see you there!
