His parents still live there but she doesn't anymore.<BR/><BR/>I think this may be the last year we buy a tree that has been shipped across the ocean - although it will be difficult for me to give up having the smell of it in my tropical home - I love it because it reminds me of my hometown in WA state. My brother has started welding scultpural art (steelabilia.com) and I'm thinking of asking him to make me a steel tree. I guess I could get some scratch and sniff fir or some candles.Alysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290897599947101619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-81208056270620505902008-12-06T22:09:00.000-07:002008-12-06T22:09:00.000-07:00Anonymous, I think you're right.

It works. I'll post photos and recipe next week sometime. <BR/><BR/>I don't know that the cookies are intrinsically and objectively great, but when they smell and taste like Christmas to someone, they become a part of Christmas. That sounds lame, but I don't know how else to say it. Other people might taste them and then "Eh. Don't you like chocolate chip better?" And I do. Except at Christmas. :-)Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-4639368154758758922008-12-05T19:38:00.000-07:002008-12-05T19:38:00.000-07:00I want to second the request for the recipe.

Both of my sisters lived in New Mexico (one at UNM in Alb., one at St. John's in Santa Fe) in the 70's and I think they'd love to get some bizcochitos as a gift. They were just lamenting at Thanksgiving how much they miss real New Mexican food. (I'm already making Sopaipillas with honey butter for Christmas Day -- my UNM sister says, "no cinnamon!")Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958498680172815670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-5599221535893013042008-12-05T16:54:00.000-07:002008-12-05T16:54:00.000-07:00Okay, "little bundles of deadly sin with cinnamon ...Okay, "little bundles of deadly sin with cinnamon and sugar on the top" is probably one of the best descriptions I've ever read.
