2023: ANOTHER WEIRD ONE

 hand wash

cookies

iron

vacuum

I made the above list for Monday April 3rd

I had vowed earlier to not make anymore lists . This didn't even make it to the "Shit to do" list. Which reminds me I need to update

So first thing was to do a hand wash so I do not have so much laundry on laundromat day. Weather is improving and things dry in a day or more not a whole week. So I also had 2 wool sweaters to wash and  at least 5 wool hand made hats. That out on the rack. It was cold but not as freaking windy as Sunday or Saturday.

So finally got to make my cookies. If I could find ones store bought that I liked that had no eggs or nuts in them I would eat those. But I had to wait for 3 ingredients to be available. Baking powder, wheat germ and flax seed meal. Of course I chose a busy day to do this. It was not without comic relief. The pull tab on the baking powder failed among other things.

my hand slipped with the pot holder and wow that cookie sheet is hot. It reminded me of when I baby sat for a family in Cincinnati and their maid. She did all the cooking and baking. The palms of her hands were so calloused from years of baking- she never used a pot holder!

My cookies turned out delicious.

so after all the frustrations and cleaning up all those pans bowls and dishes I rewarded myself with a different twist to my supper.
