I'm baking again

The first morning after we brought my used kitchen stove home, I made biscuits.  The second day, we had meatloaf.  On the third day, I made cornbread to go with our pinto beans. 

This is the fourth day, and if I can make myself get out of my easy chair, I might make some raisin/oatmeal cookies.  

We have had some nice weather over the last week.  I took my walk four days, and might go again today; yesterday I walked almost two miles in the pasture.  I two days ago I went to the garden and started getting the trashy dead plants from last year piled up to burn or take away; it really felt good to be working in the garden.

By the way, the entry right before this this one was a repeat from 2010; apparently some of my readers thought it just happened, although at the top I said it was from 2010.  Sorry about the confusion.

Now I have to decide:  Shall I go walking, or should I make cookies that will cost me five bucks for the tiny eggs that were supposed to be large eggs, according to the words on the carton, and over a dollar and a half for the butter? 

Maybe we'll just eat those Oreos I got on sale last week.

  1. Make.The.Cookies. I'll replace the eggs and butter and take a couple cookies off your hands. (Because yours are the best oatmeal raisin cookies I've ever had.

  4. After your daughter's comment, I want to fly to Missouri to get some of those oatmeal cookies. They're my favorite! It sounds like you're enjoying your new oven and getting lots of use out of it. :)

    I am glad you are able to get back to baking. Being able to take a nap or rest when you need to is a blessing. Rebecca in SW MO

  6. Baking is always a nice distraction for me. Could you have 2 or 3 chickens to add to your menagerie?
