macoMy sister got married on home plate at PNC Park this weekend.
In the first picture, you can see most of the Morgan family. A few of my first cousins and their partners and kids are missing, along with one uncle.
Second shows me and my spouse, so you can see my dress.
And third: the cookies I made. I made 240 lady locks. 20 dozen. 10 dozen had a traditional buttercream-like filling. 6 dozen had pumpkin spice filling. 4 dozen had dulce de leche because my friend Brujo, from Buenos Aires, said, “Cañoncitos de dulce de leche must 100% be in the top 3 of all facturas in history…if it's not the number 1 in the list.” “Lady locks” is what we call them in Pittsburgh. They’re also “clothespin cookies” in English, and “cream horns” are similar (but conical, open on only one end). As he said? They’re “cañoncitos” in Spanish: little cannons. With the same meaning, some parts of Italy say “cannoncini” and others say “cannoli.” No, they’re not like Sicilian cannoli; they’re northern.
4th & 5th: the Pittsburgh cookie table. Weddings in Pittsburgh have cookie tables which function as both dessert and wedding favors. It’s recommended that the family supply 10–12 cookies per guest. Nowadays, takeout containers are also supplied so you don’t get crumbs in your purse. My mom baked 1700 cookies, and she was only one of at least 7 bakers.
