The Week’s Report: That time I made cookies on TV

by Jamie

Yesterday my daughter Emily and I piled into the car, drove to our local Fox station and did a cooking segment on their fun lifestyle program called The Place. While we were driving to the station Emily said “Hey Mom, can I give you a little advice?” To which I replied, “Of course! That is why I brought you along; for your wonderful advice and wisdom. Also, so you can carry my heavy mixer into the station. But mostly for your wonderful advice and wisdom.” Ha!

“Ok, well then…” she said. “I don’t want this to hurt your feelings, but sometimes when you are talking to people or teaching a class, you make your eyes look really (super!) big and your eyebrows shoot way up into your forehead and it looks dang weird, Mom. Really. Just give those eyebrows a rest, hon. Keep them down, down, where they are supposed to live.”

She really did call me “hon”.

You can see why I wanted to bring her along, can’t you? She’s a dream of a child, often in a hilarious way.

We had a great time on the show! I am happy to report that I kept my eyebrows down where they are supposed to live (to Emily’s great approval) and made White Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies and Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip without tripping or slipping or making a great fool of myself. What a relief, yes?

It was fun to get a little glimpse behind the scenes of a tv program like this.

There was a fun dance number that performed just before I baked my cookies and man were they good.

Ha ha! Bless her! I would also want to be warned if I was about to do something weird in front of millions of people, or if my shirt was buttoned wrong, or I had a boog under my nose, etc. That is way fun that you got to be on TV with your girl, and your hair looks beautiful.

Love your cookies, and have got to make them, but girl you are gorgeous! I couldn’t get past your make-up. I want to know about your eye shadow. What brand is that? Powder or cream?
