What Day Is It Weekend Recap
Sup Monday and what's up with y'all? The time for weekend shenaniganry is through and time to bid adieu to March. I can't believe we're just over a quarter through the year, though it's been quite productive. I got a sweet sale on some spray paint to repaint the skinny and bigger patio tables. I'd already painted the skinny one with flat high heat paint but discovered a pretty bad split on the leg. I haven't the power, time or money to search for a new one so I got the bondo out and filled in the hole to keep it from getting worse and once it was cured spray painted it in satin Canyon Black and it looks so much better. I spray painted all of the hooks and planter holders I took down as well and that took care of a can. We also got the mammoth planters moved out to the patio. Definitely an eye opener how tight it's going to be out there. I miscalculated on the smaller one and we'll need to uninstall and move the folding table we mad...
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)
