Business endeavor
My mother belonged to organizations that had lots of "teas" that required little cookies. A grocery store down town on Kansas Avenue called "Green's" was the only source of these tea cookies. I think they got too expensive or maybe they stopped baking them but my mother decided I should make "tea cookies." She bought a cookie press. I think she was going to try it herself but my mother was not a great cook. So I ended up making cookies. She would buy the ingredients and using my cookie press I made them by the dozen. Some teas I had to wear a formal and serve as my mother was great at volunteering her daughters. When I served it was generally at the high school in the art gallery. Now that I'm old (I like to think "mature") I don't make them anymore but still have my cookie press and the recipe. Green's grocery is not in existence now but know there are probably many caterers who also have my recipe. They really were quite tasty. I know as I ate all the broken ones.
