What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. 😄 I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
This is the way to do it. I know you enjoy baking but by the end of a big day of baking you aren't quite getting the enjoyment out of it. But by breaking the baking up from the dough prep I noticed how much more enjoyable the process was for you last year. Now I want cookies!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try it this way. I like to make cookies, but sometimes by the end I just want to be done.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few recipes that you've shared that I make (egg nog cookies are one of my favorites) plus I like the basic sugar cookies that I can't seem to get right, as well as chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin.
My favorite Christmas cookies ever are pizzelles, but I don't have the special iron for them and if I did I wouldn't have a place to store it in the off season.
I love cookies in general. My favourite year 'round cookie is a chocolate chip peanut butter oatmeal cookie. However, around the holidays I seem to crave ginger molasses cookies, maccaroons, and biscotti.
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks like you were having some fun in that kitchen missy! I love how you plan it all out so you don't have to redo any steps and can pace yourself so it's actually fun to do and takes at least some of the stress away. And you only nibbled here and there and feel good about that -- wahoo!! I so hear you about washing the bowls and utensils right away just for that reason. I've been known to pour some dish soap on food I'm going to throw in the garbage so I'm not tempted to eat it before it actually gets there. =o)
