I confess, I have not read the books nor seen the movie. But the word play from just the TRAILERS alone was enough to CORRAL me into this cookie set. Just HORSIN’ around. Hope I haven’t offended anyone who loves the topic- Shades of Grey or equine…

I was invited to go over to a friend’s house for tea, which made me think of a tea party (all proper with pinkies extended), and then Boston, and then the yellow flag with a snake that says “don’t tread on me”, and then all of the possible mutations of “T”, tee, tea, bag, etc?

Signed by George Washington on October 3, 1789 and entitled “General Thanksgiving,” the national decree by the fledgling government appointed a day “to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.” Later, on October 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for the observance of the fourth Tuesday of November as a national holiday. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday to the third Thursday of November (to extend the Christmas shopping season and boost the economy). After a storm of protest, Roosevelt changed the holiday again in 1941 to the fourth Thursday in November, where it stands today (taken from earlyamerica.com).

Here is the cornucopia of cookies I am taking to our celebration. There are a lot of people coming, and with the pies and other desserts also being served, I felt like bite sized cookies were most appropriate. Hope yours is happy, fulFILLING, and nap worthy.
