Bring it on, VV! *pulling my hair back and putting on my rings* ; )

I have issues with VT as well. And you are right, water is an ingredient (and as you noticed can be very important). These look really awesome. First I thought they were cinnamon rolls.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

And yeah, they are REALLY REALLY good--especially the yummy glaze. ARHGLHGLHGLGHLGHL

Yesssssssss, Leslie has infiltrated another life. Hehehe. Wait fer the next attack, my pretty.

And the cookies look abfab. I'm glad there is a screen (and 3000 miles) between me and them or I would eat them all off your plate and sit around comatose-mumbling about bedazzlers.

They are truly that addictive too--one of the fellows I offered them up to seriously ate like 10 of them and then told me that I needed to take them away from him. Hee hee.

Oh man, those look fabulous. I'm not quite sure what crystallized ginger is though.. I've seen it a lot. Where can I find it?

Maybe I'm getting old but I found the "Gem Sweaters" video annoying. Is this a real music band or are they trying out for a comedy skit on Saturday Night Live?

And what's with the 80's fashion resurgence? That 80's fashion look is rearing it's hideous shoulder pads and glitter once again and I can't handle it.

I was an active participant in 80's fashion back in the 80's and can't even fathom the thought of looking at photos of myself in those clothes. And now some people are willingly wearing 80's fashion?! Why? why?

This post is hilarious. Now I feel nerdy because I linked to your tomato soup post and not this kick-ass one!

Love the video.

I have the same VT issue, so I appreciate the tips you gave! These look really good!

Tania, my fella found the crystallized ginger at plain old Giant Eagle in the Asian section. Hope that helps!

J--Yeah, it's *supposed* to be funny. ; )

I adore Mother Gem. I had the good fortune to see her perform in
Baton Rouge on my birthday in April. She's a vegetarian too! She's been veg since second grade. It was such an awesome show!

It's Ginger Gem cookie season again! YEAH! Last year I was making several batches by request long after the holiday season. OH THERE SOOOO GOOD!

Me and my roommates call them Gizzems... yes, because of the glaze. Tee hee.

Ewwwww! Ha ha ha... You're even worse than me, Noel. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at those cookies the same way again. =)
