These cookies are for a very special someone.

Even more importantly they are from a very special someone.

It would be wonderful if you knew the giver of these cookies before you went out on NYE’s, but meeting them that night is just as good.

You are probably wondering what on EARTH am I talking about on a baking blog?????

Let me explain.

 

I made these cookies after seeing a billboard on my way home yesterday.

It was a lovely young woman with the words, “Wanna Come Home with ME Tonight?”

At first I was appalled!

But then I read it a little closer.

The billboard was sponsored by Budweiser, and the young woman is a Designated Driver.

Pretty sneaky huh?

It is my hope that everyone has a fun and crazy and exciting New Years, but I also want every single one of you to get home safe and sound.  Especially with all the dangerous weather everyone seems to be experiencing!

So this is my final wish you for in 2010…

Drive home with someone special… preferably your designated driver.

And eat lots of cookies!

Sorry.  I cant help myself.

Share with your friends!

  3. You know, I first found you on LJ when (if memory serves) you posted those rainbow pancakes and everyone gave you a hard time and I got hooked on your blog immediately (if that wasn’t you then I am seriously confused but still equally as addicted to your blog). I really love how optimistic and genuine you are. You really brighten up my day.
    Not to mention the fact that your recipes are just crazy awesome!

  4. Can’t agree more…I always stay home on NYE, mainly to avoid people who have had one too many. It’s scary.
    Love the cookies, as usual. Your piping is always so neat and perfect!! 🙂

  5. What a fun and creative way to encourage responsibility tomorrow night! I just love your site and your creations! I hope you had a blessed Christmas and I wish you a wonderful start to 2011!
