11.07 CHRISTMAS COOKIES CAN COME EARLY

...and just one more gastronomical reason to visit Spain. Maddy whipped out these seasonal anise cookies - a Christmas treat from Gibraltar.

In their candy wrapping, each cookie is a small token - a gift.

While it irks me to see store shelves lined with tacky tinsel and random christmas ware before Halowe'en has even passed, I stand firm in believing it is never too early to bring on the Christmas cookies...(and never to late to be eating Halowe'en treats for that matter...)
