Random update
Jul. 27th, 2013 08:37 pmDecided since I had to turn the oven on for dinner, I'd just keep it on and make cookies. Frakkin' gas oven heats up the entire neighborhood. Used a Kitchen-Aid for the first time. Man, that is a thousand times better than a hand mixer. Oh, yes.
Baked from a recipe given to me by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
texaswillow, and it didn't turn out quite as well as hers usually do. But you know, that's just because she's got this cookie thing down to a science (pretty much all she does during November and December is bake cookies and work. lol Luckily, I'm a taste-tester for her new recipes. And she lets me lick the paddles sometimes. While we cackle at the TV and make rude comments on the various attributes of the eye-candy presented for our delectation. :D
Anyway, I subbed generic splenda for the sugar, and it didn't make any difference to me in taste, so one thing down in the quest for healthier cookies.
Now I haz cookies. Chocolate chip, of course. I want to try the oatmeal-chocolate chip next.
Since I had to be in there anyway, I went ahead and made two days worth of tea. One less thing to do tomorrow.
Now I can finally sit down and eat the dinner that's been cooling for forty minutes. lol
Landlord: Have you ever heard the song Bare Necessities?
Me: From the Jungle Book?
Landlord: Yes.
Me: Dude, I'm 48 years old. Of course I've heard the song. :starts singing it in my head:
Landlord: Well, I'm only a year younger than you and I've never seen the movie all the way through. I'd never heard the song.
No. He did not just say he's never gotten all the way through Disney's Jungle Book. Nuh-uh. Now I'll have to find a copy somewhere, 'cause that just doesn't sit right. I mean, this new crap they make? I can take or leave that, but Jungle Book? No.
Of course, his point was that he'd been listening to the radio and Louis Armstrong had recorded a version of BN back in the 70s (it was 1973 on the radio tonight). My point is Jungle Book. lol
Now, back to editing, betaing and writing. In that order. And no cookies until I'm done editing. :stern look at self:
Wow. I wrote a whole post without talking about....that show. :)
