Ah, Laquita, you are a quilter after my own heart! I'm allergic to chocolate, so it's something I avoid. How about some nice shortbread cookies to go with that tea? I have a recipe for Bizcochitos -- anise cookies that are a New Mexico Christmas tradition. Perfect for tea!

Here is the recipe for anyone who is interested! I always use shortening instead of lard.
Biscochitos
1 cup lard or shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp anise seed
3 tbsp sweet wine
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
cream lard (or shortening) and sugar until quite creamy, add egg and beat until fluffy. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in wine and anise seed. Roll dough out on floured board to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top of cutouts.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until light brown.

Hopefully our bench ladies will have a friendly little surprise for them when they get home today. Rest assured ladies, the ornaments have been mailed.
What is worse; having that little package around taunting you "open me, open me;" or waiting for the package to actually arrive?

Quick question, is shortening the same as margarine or butter (here in Ireland I don't think we have shortening)
