Speaking of pain in the ass cookies, I decided to make the italian rosemary ones last week. First step, infuse brown sugar with rosemary at least 24 hours. Then use that brown sugar, along with other ingredients including lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Roll out cookies, and cut into small circles. Brush with water than sprinkle with brown sugar to make a glaze. Add a little piece of rosemary on top for additional flavor and decoration. Bake. Cool. Make a filling out of marscapone, butter, etc and more lemon zest and juice. Spread on cookie, top with other cookie making a sandwich cookie. Uffda. I will say they are delicious and my family should not fall in love with them because I doubt they will make the cut (haha see what I did there) next year.
No need to force yourself into cold water for aerobics. There will be plenty of warm days ahead, you lucky girl!
Yes, spritz cookies are a pain, which is why I hope to eat ones that someone else has made. : )
122 even!
Today was just a tad warmer. Still too cold for me to brave water aerobics. I went for a 3.5 mile walk though and that felt good! DH golfed 18, so I had a good chunk of the day to do as I pleased.
We went grocery shopping after we both showered after our morning exercise activities. Mostly just breakfast items, fruit, snacks and beverages. Hello Fresh for the next 3 nights. Turkey Schwarma (my fav), chicken enchiladas and Kung Pao chicken.
Need to do my Bible study before Thursday. I bought a special conference speaker to make the long distance communication better. The first week I just used my built in speaker on my phone and it was really hard to hear the group with static and voices going in and out!

My friend who has ADHD thinks I have it too (I think they are just personality traits more than a disorder and I do have a lot!) and says one of the traits is jumping into new hobbies with both feet and rest of your body, buying ALL the things, starting on an enormous advanced project rather than an easy starter one to see if you even like it, doing it once and giving it up forever. I do this a lot with hobbies (knitting, crochet, quilting, painting, drawing, embroidery, now cookies). I'm sure this one will be no different!
Yum cookies! We plan to buy the pre baked cut out ones and decorate them with the kids at Christmas. Fun activity for everyone to enjoy!
Royal icing! Sounds fun! Some of those cookies are so intricate in their designs!

I didn?t realize you had hearing aids! DH is pretty much deaf in one ear but a hearing aid unfortunately won?t help. He would need a cochlear implant and is not really wanting to do that either.
Hope your busy day is all that you want it to be!

Retirement suits you well! Your time in Duluth sounds grand, even if it was cold and your glasses fogged up (from your pics on FB).

Agreed! That is what we usually try and get the kids. Tickets to a favorite place, restaurant gift certificate, weekend getaway etc.
