Early trip to menards for gift card. Made January eye exam appointment. Texted with son to set up Christmas Eve details and sister for Christmas day. Hope to finish wrapping today.
So when you make cookie dough it has to be baked right away,,it doesn't keep? Sounds like the type of thing you can be sorry you started- I ask because I know nothing about baking,never baked ( Pillsbury pop n bake is all I ever tried - lol)I'm tired this morning. Not sleepy, just bone-dragging tired.
- Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher, and am back here with my coffee.
- Change bed sheets and do two loads of laundry (Rick will probably do them for me).
- I did get the cookie dough made, but must bake them today at some point.
Mr Poe( right? Bottom photo) is really smiling- he should be entered in the Smiley Cat photo contest!Did you enter?Our power may go out today. We got an automated phone call a few days ago that the power company will be working on an adjacent street (our power line feeds in from there) and power may be out between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. If they do not finish the work, rinse and repeat tomorrow. We have a whole house generator but if that's is the source of electricity the Internet is often down. We will see . . .
Have a load of blue jeans and towels in washer, to be transferred to dryer.
It is rather chilly so need to check wood burning stove periodically to see if it needs more wood shoved in there.
Every other week cleaning lady is here making everything tidy and bright. When she leaves, sometime this afternoon, I will start making duck stock and prepare cookie dough for baking tomorrow.
Here are a couple of recent "cat tax" pictures of Domino and Mr Poe for your enjoyment. Hope you like them.

I freeze cookie dough all the time because if I baked a full batch of cookies, I would eat them all in short order. Usually I form them and then freeze so all I need to do is put them on a cookie sheet and bake.So when you make cookie dough it has to be baked right away,,it doesn't keep?

I just saw another thread with Domino and MrPoe together ... I didn't see MrPoe lying next to Domino- he was incognito,lol They are adorableMr Poe (for Edgar Allen Poe who wrote The Black Cat, a disturbing short story about guilt) is the black cat on the right in the upper picture. Actually, he's not black but rather a deep brown which shows in strong sunlight. The black and white cat is Domino. He's not really smiling, it is just his black chin that makes it look like he is. Sorry, did not enter contest.
Kwik Cookie dough will keep several days in the fridge, but not for a long time. I always like to keep my doughs in the fridge at least overnight because it helps the ingredients mingle in the dough. I usually make the dough one day, toss it in the fridge overnight, and bake the cookies the next day. I freeze baked cookies (in between layers of waxed paper or parchment in tight plastic containers), but I've never actually frozen the dough. Yesterday was just a bad day, I guess. No more cookies this season. I'm done.So when you make cookie dough it has to be baked right away,,it doesn't keep?
