Obviously, I should not start a cooking blog. Even though they stuck to the baking sheet, breaking many, Sage and I had fun making them. They look a bit like red and blue starfish, don’t you think? I just need to stick some cute little eyes on…
No flags here. I have “issues” with both flags and the pledge. I mean, think about it. With who’s running our country, do you really want to pledge allegiance? I think our allegiance should be to a higher power, not to artificial boundaries, political ideas and war. Just sayin’.
I have issues with both as well. I have a star shaped red, white and blue hanging thing that I put out–it says: Let there be peace; let it begin with US” I like the play on US, you and me and also U.S. I’m sure it must irritate my conservative neighbors.

Cute cookies! I think starfish are adorable, so I’ll pretend their starfish along with you. Haha!
We baked some blond brownies and cut up some veggies for a pool party we’re heading to later. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day off!

Very cool. I think starfish are a great shape for cookies!

I understand. I have issues, too. But at the same time, the pledge is to the country and the flag is the symbol of the country. And the country is a separate entity from whoever happens to be running it at the time. I remember when Nixon (the President) tried to equate himself with the Presidency (the institution) and that didn’t fly.
Just always remember that dissent is itself patriotic. It’s all about trying to make our country a better place.
mmmm, cookies….they look tasty even if they aren’t the most visually perfect star shaped cookies ever. They really do look like starfish though, maybe you should put eyes on them before you eath them all

They’re introducing pledges and that sort of thing in the UK now. Just *no*. That is not how democracy works. They make new British citizens swear allegiance to the Queen or something now. How the hell did I get to be a citizen then, if I’d never do that myself?
Hope you had a happy Fourth of July, Michelle. I spent mine at work being stressed.
