Random Act of Kindness

Last weekend I was making stuffed mushrooms for a Christmas party with friends. I was running late and had just gotten back from the store and realized that I needed an egg. I didn't have time to go back to the store so I did what they did in the olden days...

I went over to my neighbor's and asked if I could borrow an egg. This was kind of a big deal for me. I don't know my neighbor's name and we've never really talked aside from saying "Hello" in the parking lot. Her son plays outside a lot and really likes our dog though...so I wouldn't say we're COMPLETE strangers.

Anyway, she happily let me have an egg and thus saved my stuffed mushrooms.

So today I spent all day in the kitchen baking cookies. I made:

• Chocolate Andes Mint Chip Cookies - made with chocolate cake mix and chunks of Andes mints
• Peanut Butter Caramel Surprises - peanut butter cookie with a hidden Rolo in the middle, topped with roasted marshmallows
• Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Chip Cookies - peanut butter cookie with both chocolate and peanut butter chips
• White Chocolate Covered Oreo Truffles - crushed oreos mixed with cream cheese and covered in white chocolate (one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten in my life)

So my cookies have now cooled and I made a cookie plate with a Christmas card for my neighbor. It's my way of saying "thank you" for the egg.
