So, I've been making the cookies but have been failing to write about them! Oh no!! It's ok though because today is the last day of classes, after 5:10 today I will have nothing to do but study, bake, and write! Oh Joy!! So just to catch up: The 3rd Day of Cookies was Brown Sugar Shortbread! They were very tasty and super easy to make!

Camilla: in Roman mythology, legendary Volscian maiden who became a warrior and was a favourite of the goddess Diana. According to the Roman poet Virgil (Aeneid, Books VII and XI), her father, Metabus, was fleeing from his enemies with the infant Camilla when he encountered the Amisenus (Amazenus) River. He fastened the child to a javelin, dedicated her to Diana, and hurled her across the river. He then swam to the opposite bank, where he rejoined Camilla.
