    You have many good replys to the joke ( even though it is still funny as heck ) :) but I know that my DH doesn't want to take over my work here at home. We have more pets then he would like and he never was one to clean up after them. Until I came along his mother had to feed and water his cat...

    storing baked goods?

    I guess the frezzing of the cookies would save some time . At least then the pre part would be done already. I think I have come to terms with the crazy baking during the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks for all your help everyone. I am going to give the cookie dough a try though...

    How do you get rid of mold?

    I put as much of it as possible in my wash tub with bleach and scrubed and soaked for awhile and did that for most of the day, turning as needed. Then I set it out to dry and I put some baking soda in there as well. It's good to go now.

    storing baked goods?

    I had thought about the option of packing them into jars like those cookies in a jar idea. But then the thought occured to me that not a whole of people who get these gifts are actually going to make them themselves. Most of them are on the lazy side. Maybe if I got all the dry ingredients...
