The cookie-baking was a bit of a disaster. I was in charge of the peanut butter cookies with the Hershey’s kiss on top. Trouble was, the only brown sugar that was available had hardened to a rock. (The bag had split open inside the box.) No matter what I did, I couldn’t soften it. Finally I had to add water to the batter to break it down; then added flour to stiffen the batter; then added sugar to compensate – in the end, they were not very tasty cookies. But edible. We brought all the cookies to work this morning, and they have all been eaten up, so I guess they weren’t TOO bad. All the other cookies were fine. And we had a good time.
I ended up bringing home the sugar, chocolate and nuts, but we did use up the flour, so it’s going on my 15 items list.
I’m going to do my shopping tonight. I have to buy cat litter and food for both my cats and the feral cats (my cats get better, more expensive food, so I have to buy two kinds), and I also have to get a pie to take to the Christmas celebration at my son’s house this weekend. I need staples like milk, eggs and bread, and I’m planning to buy the ingredients for chicken & dumplings, so keeping it down to 15 is going to be VERY challenging! We’ll see how I do.
Also have to get some gas. I’m under a quarter tank and I know that’s not good in cold weather. At least I don’t have to count that in my 15, as gas is not available at the grocery store!
