Cookie Baking Thursday
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 8:46 amGood Morning everyone,
Finally rolled out of bed this morning. Hate sleeping in a bit later as I'm a morning person and that's when I want to get doing. But I think these shorter days make us hibernate more and the bed feels so comfty. I know once the days get light earlier, I am up and at em early. Even the dogs are lazy in the mornngs right now.
A chilly, wintery morning here this morning. We had a little snow late yesterday afternoon and evening. Not a lot, just enough to turn the ground white. And there's a pretty good breeze blowing this mornng as well. They say the wind chill is around 10 degrees.
So it's a good day to be inside and baking cookies. I'm going to make some Spritz (butter) cookies today. They are my favorite and everybody else's too. The butter is sitting on the counter, softing up while I have breakfast here. A half a grapefruit, bacon and eggs. Might not have to worry about lunch, as we have to "sample" any cookies we bake to make sure they came out right before we pass any on to others, right
i spent all day yesterday shopping for what I needed to bake today, stocking up on some other foods, checking out printers etc. Finally found a printer that I think will do the job for what I want. An HP Photosmart 6510. I've had HP's before and they performed very well as did the Canon I had also. This one uses a bit cheaper ink then some of the others and other than getting my annual Christmas letter done, I don't have a lot of printing to do. I have some pictures that I want to enlarge to hang on my walls, so it will be good for that. At the moment it's still in the box, but I will get at it either later today or before the weekend gets away from me.
Kathleen, your daughter will be up and doing after her knee surgery, before you know it. I have a friend who just had both of hers done over the past 3 months and she bounced back remarkedly well, and she's older than I am. Within two weeks of having the second one done, she was even able to get into my truck to go to lunch one day. I think she has a couple of more therapy sessions to go and then she will be done. But she sure feels better for it all. And able to move around so much better.
Well, enough chatter for this morning. Time to get moving here. Change my bed, get out of my jammies and get cleaned up for that hot date in the kitchen Come on over and let's bake cookies. Always more fun when there's more than one person around. And I have OJ, bacon, sausage and eggs if anybody want's breakfast or some toast with some of that yummy wheat, raisin and walnut bread I brought back from the U.P.
Enjoy your day all, no matter what and keep safe if you are on the road.
