What I Had for Linner: Cookies!!!!!

Hey there! Well, it was 2 holiday parties in two nights for me this week and last night I headed over to Frost, a dual party thrown by Food Network and FLN at a hotel in NYC. It was just a gathering of people in marketing and sales and I was there to meet co-workers and hang out. The event was called Frost because that's all most people did the whole night, frost up some holiday cookies. What a neat idea, as soon as I walked in I got a choice of cookies to decorate and then after mingling for a bit I sat down to play with my food. Here are my creations ...
I frosted them under plenty of scrutiny ... people at the table kept watching me and it made me nervous lol. I'm thinking, they know I'm not Martha right? After concentrating on the girl's outfit, I decided the guy just needed some flair, not clothes. I actually started putting together a narrative in my head for the cookie couple, that's when I knew I was having fun. I'd totally reverted to childhood thoughts while sprinkling on sugar and stuff. After I put mine safely in their boxes is when the dance floor started to get packed. Soon after, this guy kept trying to get me over there ... he kept yelling and making faces towards me like "c'mon" and then finally got a punch line everyone laughed at ... he said "Hey Sunny you're Cooking for Real, well I'm dancin' for real!!" ... here he is trying to convince me from across the table with the dance floor right behind him ...
Didn't get his name, but I did head to the dance floor for a few minutes. After a quick dance I went to check on my cookies (I'm a protective mommy) and took a couple more pictures of other's creations ...
That's Wendy, she styles many sets for Food Network and you've totally gotta check this video to see more of what she does, it was taped while I was taping, so I'm honored to be a part of the video. Wendy is truly a value at work. I called her cookies 'stained glass'. Take a look at Jamie's cookies ... she works with Wendy and styled my set for the Viva Towels commercials.
They got to the party a bit late because they are working on a show so I had to inform them about the boxes for the cookies. I went off to get them some boxes to pack up and was asked by someone if I'd seen the "Tiger Woods" cookies. I thought, is this a joke? And surely it was ... I was walked over to a table where some people decorated a gingerbread man like Tiger, complete with a bloody lip and then another cookie that was to be Elin, with a golf club in her hand. We all had a laugh at it and then I said, it was missing the car scene. So someone got me a marker and I scribbled out the artwork ...
What an end of the year story, huh? Funny how these things can permeate all of society to where we are decorating holiday cookies in reference to the news.

Well, after the party I headed home with my two cookies, one for me and one for my guy. Sitting here typing this morning, this is all that's left of mine ...
I had so much fun decorating the cookies, I thought I'd share. At parties like this they always have a gift bag with goodies when you leave and I always take one, but they usually pile up in my closet. Would you like the one from last night, plus some other stuff thrown in? I only have one and I'm only me, so let's make this simple ... In comments the first person to answer these questions correctly first wins:
1. What Food Network chef gave me my start with a guest spot on their show? What did we make?

2. What building in NYC houses the main studio for Food Network?

3. How many Bobby Flay series have the word or stem word "grill" in the title? Name them.

4. Who won season 4 of NFNS?

5. Where does Guy Fieri's Roadshow end? City and venue.

Here's what you'll win ...
It's the tote (perfect for Earth-friendly shopping), the apron, the cookie cutter, recipe, a Food Network magazine and I'll throw in some other gift bag stuff from other parties. (sorry, I ate my cookie lol, I'll send crumbs though teeheehee) Ok, good luck if you want it. I'll put it in the mail over the weekend! Remember, the first one with all of them correct wins!
