Maggie wanted me to make some cookies to take to Germany with her for her sister, so I made today:<\/p>\n
2 dozen green tea shortbread
\n2 dozen oatmeal pecan chocolate chip<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
