    Hi Pat! Thank you! It was really fun meeting you and all the other members I have had the honor to see on the forum over the past two years. I have a few pics to put up. I am just settling back in after returning from back to back trips and playing catch up here at home.

    As for the cookies. I start with a basic shortbread recipe. It’s a great one that’s really easy to work with. If anyone wants it let me know. I’d be glad to share it. I set the printing up on my computer in a simple print shop program. My computer savy son, Kyle, reworked the logo to fit the cookie shape better. I use a regular Canon inkjet printer that has never had ink run through it and I use food color cartridges in the place of ink. I blow through printers pretty quickly though. The printheads take a beating with the materials I run through it. It’s the same idea as the bakeries that do photo cakes. One edible image sheet does 20 images. They are made from starch and sugar and run through the printer with the plastic backing attached. I peel that off, cut them apart, use frosting on the back, slap them on and do a royal frosting border to hide the edges. I’ve got it down to 20 seconds a cookie. It was a last minute idea to offer them. I’m glad people enjoyed them! Hopefully they’ll be on the tables of NADA 2020!

    The best part of the show was meeting all of these kind and interesting people and more I didn’t get a chance to capture.

    Jenene, I am not going to lie, when i was thinking of placing your name I was drawing a blank at the show. I just saw your join date and i think that may have played a part. I've been scarce here the last 2 years so this was probably attributant to me not being savvy on the new members .

    Anyone that knows me though, knows that i love meeting new people and can chat up a storm about pretty much anything lol.

    In Retrospect, i wish i would not have eaten the cookie, but the pressure of a hungry wife and daughter was too much, lol. It was very tasty.

    Ha ha Rick you crack me up. I wish I would have had more time to chat but you and the others were so busy running around doing their jobs! We hadn't had a lot of interaction here on the forum but the times we had you gave great advice. You popped in on my reef thread as well. Thank you!

    Hopefully next show everyone will make it back and we can continue one. Until then see you around here!

    Hi Joe, It was great getting to meet you and the others. I'm glad you got those cookies past customs. What a rebel.

    Glad I could help out and be your Uber. Hope I didn't insult you by not letting you drive. We drive on the right side of the road here in the states. The word "right" used with both meanings intended. I was just trying to avoid this scenario..."No officer... he's not drunk...he's Australian."

    Hope you make the long trek back to NADA 2020!
