Dear Auntie Mel

I love my new outfits! Thank you so much for getting them for me. Don't I look just adorable in this one! My brothers and sisters wanted me to wear the dress, but mom said I'm going to wear it to church tomorrow. Well, it's time for me to eat now. I'm pretty hungry! Love you lots, Leah

Pilgrim's Hats
(posted by E )

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
24 chocolate-striped shortbread cookies
12-ounce package of chocolate chips
24 marshmallows
tube of yellow decorators' frosting
1. Set the chocolate-striped cookies stripes down on a wax-paper-covered tray, spacing them well apart. 2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. 3. One at a time, stick a wooden toothpick into a marshmallow, dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate, and promptly center it atop a cookie. 4. Using a second toothpick to lightly hold down the marshmallow, carefully pull out the first toothpick. 5. Chill the hats until the chocolate sets, then pipe a yellow decorators' frosting buckle on the front of each hat.
