Trying to keep warm
Things to make on a rainy Monday evening:
*Toll House Cookies without any chocolate chips. I have always wondered if this would work, like since I was a little girl, but I’d never tried. I didn’t mean to try today, except that I had started making cookies thinking we had chocolate chips. Then when I opened the cupboard, we didn’t. Ever have a day like that? So I decided to play out the childhood experiment. Without any chips or alterations to the recipe they were flat and crispy (although they still tasted nice…they just didn’t look pretty). Turns out if you add a bit more flour and just a bit of oats, they are pretty darn yummy. I do love a bit of experimental baking. It’s more fun with cookies, since you can put in one tray and find out in like 8 minutes if it worked, then add things to the dough to make them better. We made the last tray with cinnamon and they are…um…all gone. Success.
*A bookmark, because I am in total reading mode right now. I could sit here all night and read like ten books in a row. Just me and the rain and a cup of coffee and my giant icelandic blanket to keep away the rest of the world. I did tell you it was a rainy Monday evening, right?
*The patchworked half of another pillow. Hope to finish that one tomorrow!
*A simple little bracelet of beads in pretty colours, all strung together. Just liking the calm of the stringing tonight.
Are you making anything lovely this evening?
