Baking Day

Not much got done yesterday other than baking.  I got the girls favorite cookies made – Golden Thumbprints with raspberry jam and Mike’s favorite plain old chocolate chips.  Therefore I was in the kitchen most of the day it seems which is good as with as cold as it was outside the oven was helping to heat the house I finished off the afternoon putting a meatloaf and baked potatoes in the oven for supper.  I admit to eating a few of these cookies as they were coming out of the oven!  The link goes to a recipe exactly like what I use but mine was in an old cookbook from years ago now I have a type written copy in a binder.  Another cookie make every year but didn’t get a photo of are Viennese Sugar Twist I found a duplicate recipe here.

And some chocolate Chips – I follow the recipe on the back of the package

While I was baking it started to do this!  The morning started at 42 degrees by 1pm it was in the 20’s last night as I was writing this at 8pm it was down to 8 degrees.

We didn’t get a lot of snow – I didn’t get a photo of the birds at the feeders I had only recently put the feeders out and added one to the backyard too that I can see from the kitchen – they finally found it when it started to snow, the other feeders are in their usual spot out the sewing room window but I hadn’t taken the screen out of the window to clear shots and didn’t take any photos of them.

And here

A couple thread basted hexies while waiting for cookies to bake.  I moved them to my larger board so I could space them out right.

I really do hope I get back to the border on Rainbow Crossings this week sometime otherwise it will be the mad dash to get it finished next week – which could do of course as the baking sessions will be done!

Thank you all that have ordered through my affiliate links this year I do appreciate it and see several in the last couple days have been enjoying the sales at the Green Fairy – I love this company,
