Chocolate-chip cookies today. The dough is in the fridge and the
oven is preheating.

We like a chewy cookie, so we melt the butter rather than creaming
it. And underbake the cookies just a tad.

I agree with you about a chewy cookie. Never did care for crunchy
chocolate chip cookies.

We've had some gusty wind today coming from the north/northwest. Since
you are south of me, I guess it carried my voice to you and that's troubling
as it probably means Cindy didn't hear me.-a-a-aEfyR

Scraping the dregs of dough out of the bowl and eating it is
the privilege of she who cleans the kitchen afterward.

i will raid when Mom is making cookies and on days of
weakness that can be a few cookies worth and then yes
when cleaning up afterwards i do get scrapings if i
want them, but a lot of times she's made several other
kinds of cookies too so some of those doughs aren't as
good as chocolate chip or molasses (both that i like
the best as compared to the shortbread ones which the
dough isn't as good, but if she's done chocolate chip
shortbread i can pick the chocolate chips out if there's
any that have escaped).

she happens to be making some cookies and pies this
morning and i could raid if i wanted to yet this morning
i seem to have more resistance or perhaps i'm just feeling
particularly lazy and don't want to get up. :)

When I was a wee kid I often helped my mother make cookies and cakes. My
job was usually licking the beaters clean.

As was mine. With just two elderly people in the house, we
come to an agreement.

I give up, maybe next time. It's colder today than Saturday and the
wind is still kicking up; I'm staying indoors.

Maybe next year.

Sorry to hear it's cold there. It's pretty average here: 32 F,
cloudy (although it's clearing up), winds 20 gusting to 30.

It's 36-# and sunny and that's about average here for this time of year.
What hurts is this past week we had temperatures in the upper 60's with
a day or two at 71-# which broke a 2019 record.

It has been up in the 40s but very windy for a few days here. This
morning it dropped just below freezing and got windy again. I will
likely watch a movie or two.

A Chinook is blowing here so we'll be above freezing all week,
sometimes in the double digits.
