Baking up the school's weather.
We hit 43° yesterday, and it was HEAT!WAVE! Seriously, though, imagine that we were NINETY degrees warmer than last week's -47°, ya know?
I'm baking Peanut Butter Star Cookies right now (chocolate stars from Brach's®), and I've a little bit of time between batches. Just a little bit though, as these are cookies you have to babysit: bake for 8 minutes, take out, push the chocolate star in, bake again for 2 minutes, take out, cool for 2 minutes, transfer to wire rack. Lather, rinse, repeat. Oh, but I looooooooove these cookies, so they're worth the trouble!
I'm going to pack up a bunch of goodies today, as well as tons of other small packages that I need to send out. I was afraid I'd lose track when I went to purchase padded envelopes and boxes, so I made myself a large list. Even so, as we were driving, I realized I'd left my Grandpa and Jack's old teacher off the list - oops!
Philip's at a training thing-a-majig at the base hospital right now. I'm going to continue baking and packing for now, and then I'll take my shower this afternoon sometime. We're headed up to the boys' school at 3pm for a special event. :-)
