So, the new Williams-Sonoma catalog came today... the autumn edition, the one with all of the Halloween stuff in it. They are no longer selling my cookie kit. They have some new variations.They are also selling a set of decorating sugars and confetti. I had forgotten, my original kit also came with confetti. I believe mine had 3 varieties. There were ghosts, black cats and pumpkins.
And... if you'll recall, there were the wonderful sanding sugars. My kit had the oh-so predictable black and orange, but also held that elusive sugar color... WHITE!!! Guess what? They're not selling it anymore! They offer a new kit with even more colors, but no white! Nope, no extremely rare, only to be used on ghost cookies, white!
I dug around in the cupboard over the refrigerator today and guess what? I still have my 3, partially-filled, containers of sanding sugars! I still have the WHITE! The discontinued WHITE! The "who would believe anyone would make a sugar in a color as rare as white"?!
I'm tempted to sell it on Ebay! Williams-Sonoma's discontinued, pigment-free, sanding sugar... in the elusive and much sought after... white.
And in case you're interested... I use a different color of white for the snow on my winter cookies. Any fool would know that ghost white and snow white are infinitely different.
Jennifer is like the Eskimos, only for sugar.

No AG- the hamster is still on the lam.

The cookie genius only has three containers of white sugar? My Gods! This is the end times! Anarchy is coming.

psst.

I know who could use some of that white sugar this holiday season.
Someone who might need some cough*cough *help* *cough*cough in this year's holiday bake-off.
Just sayin'. You've got it and we need it.
Let's hook up.

The problem with using snow white sugar is that you keep getting sleepy. Or dopey. Or grumpy.

Well well. Dr. Fish shows up here, but not at AG's. Jerkface.
BG, no cheating!
We all know the secret in Jennifer's basement is her industrial kitchen. That's what Claire won't give up. Now we are going to have to revoke her title.
There is to be no cheating and no industrial kitchen!
