Above is a picture from my chorus' performance yesterday at one of the malls in Munich. Marty took it from the second level. I'm in the back row, the third person from the left. You can probably only see my hat.

Unlike when we sang at the Christmas market, we had a sound system in the mall, but the noise from the shoppers still made us hard to hear, I think. Still, we drew a pretty good crowd. We always do when we wear our dresses. It's impossible to ignore that many women in low-cut, sparkly evening dresses.

I spent today making cookies for Marty to take to work and for us to give our friends. I decided to make chocolate chip cookies (with real Nestle chips I brought from home last month), butterballs (probably my favorite Christmas cookie), and a new ginger cookie recipe I found that uses honey instead of molasses. I haven't seen molasses for sale at all here, and honestly I used it so infrequently at home that it doesn't seem worth the bother of tracking it down. No Savage cookies for us this year! Anyway the new ginger cookies turned out okay, but they tasted a little too much like honey for me.

Of course when I told Marty about not finding any molasses, he asked me how I could have MOlasses when I ain't had NOlasses. I can't say I was surprised!
