Hey Steemians! IT's FRIDAY!! How about a festive flavor cookie?

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G, Most all of the time, I cross post on my personal blog.

Rough week in steemitville. The price continues to drop resulting in smaller and smaller payouts. Rouge bots attacking content providers, what a drag. But, you didn't click on this post to read about that, so, let's move on.

I could not post yesterday, just way too much going on. My streak of posts was broken, what a bummer. But, I am back today and should be able to post more tomorrow as well.
