Snow Day

Today was productive but not as exciting as I hoped. First before I get to far into my snowy day I need to explain what happened with the cookies I had made up for Dan and why they were left behind. He was so excited about his cookies and did not want to forget them so as he was walking around the kitchen getting ready to leave he carried them around with him. He was making tea to bring in the car cause it was snowing and cold outside. He kept them in his hand the whole time but then he needed to put them down to pour the tea water into the travel cup. He was tired so even thou he only placed them on the counter for a minute that is where they stayed. He did not realize it until he was looking for them in the car when he got to work.

As for the rest of my day it was snowing all day so instead of going to Flexcon ( a contact paper supply store for teachers) I stayed home. I ironed my curtains and hung them up, Macguyver only attacked them once while I was ironing. I finished my laundry, it only took four loads. I ordered photos to hang up in the living room, and I made dinner. I was suppose to have graduate class tonight but due to the snow that was canceled as well. It was a productive day at home but I am not a person that can be inside without others for long periods of time, looking forward to running all my errands tomorrow.

Cookies continued

I made the cookies with many trials along the way. I got all the ingredients out and then Dan called and said he would be home in about 30 minutes. So I put everything aside and decided I needed to start dinner first. I was planning a salad and crab cakes for dinner, so with the salads made and the crab cakes cooking in the oven it was back to the cookies. Brown sugar was almost out but had just enough to make one patch of cookies. I was mixing up the batter when Dan walked in.
Batter in the freezer time to wait three hours, was not sure I would still be up to this at ten but was going to give it a try.
At nine o'clock I decided to check and see if the batter was hard. It was an hour early but it was solid so I decided it was ready and started to roll out the dough. I had cut out have the cookies when Dan came down and helped me so by 9:30 all the cookies were cooling on the rack.
Dan was so excited he decided to eat one right away and almost burnt his tongue. But they were awesome and we went to bed after bagging them up so the cats could not get them and making a small portion for Dan to bring to work with his lunch. When I got up this morning Dan was gone to work but the cookies for his lunch were still on the counter, he left them behind.

Cookies

I am going to make some yummy cookies. Its right after valentine's day, and I just got some new cookie cutters for Christmas so I want to use them and I have been wanting to make these sugar cookies that were Dan's (my husband) favorite when he was growing up so at 6 o'clock I have decided to start. He is not on his way home yet so it would be a nice surprise if I was making them when he got home.
I just pulled out the recipe and noticed it said they need to chill three hours before rolling them out and cutting them then cooking. I have all night and no work tomorrow so I will start them now and then they can chill while I make dinner and we eat then later I can cut and cook them. Dan will be able to take some to work with his lunch tom.
