Maggie wanted me to make some cookies to take to Germany with her for her sister, so I made today:
2 dozen green tea shortbread
2 dozen oatmeal pecan chocolate chip
Seems like a lot of effort to carry cookies all the way to Germany, but I’m getting to be a very lean traveller. I hardly take anything not strictly necessary. On the other hand my wife, daughter and mother in law had 3 big suitcases and 2 medium suitcases plus a few carry-ons for this trip. Now I do tend to bring a fair bit of stuff back to Taiwan with me when I go to US, but otherwise I don’t bring much. And even coming back to Taiwan I set a strict limit of 2 bags, and if it doesn’t fit it gets left behind.
Maggie just called that her plane is boarding soon. She said one of the bags was too heavy so she had to move some stuff to carry ons. 🙁
