Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
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)
