Cookie week.

Okay.

So in 2020, we were kind of figuring out ways of bringing people together.

And we were kind of thinking, you know, holidays, people might feel very isolated.

How are we going to ultimately try to have something where people feel very engaged online?

And we decided to host a virtual cookie exchange.

It was at first a small kind of handheld operation where everybody was just filming themselves in their

apartments or their homes making cookies that meant a lot to them and then the next year we invited people back to our studio for year two and then it just kind of snowballed pardon the the awful pun but it and into this thing that was just bigger than itself

And while we celebrate all the cookies that we have in our database, we also have seven specific cookies, one that we highlight every single day.

Yeah, I would say now I'm more so the emcee.
