Holiday cookies and a walk
Dec. 2nd, 2023 07:23 pmT. had a double shift but they turned him loose early so it wasn’t too bad.
A. and R. had piano lessons; it was nice to see F. He looks relaxed. That’s nice.
I made holiday cookies today. I used this recipe:
https://delishably.com/desserts/How-to-Make-Cut-Out-Sugar-Cookies
I even mostly followed it! I had bought some “plant based” shortbread at the british store in West Acton when I was there picking up the photos from J. It was good, and I was going to buy more, but then I got to thinking about it. Normally, I don’t even try to make shortbread or sugar cookies or butter cookies or roll out cookies or whatever because they are such a disappointment without real butter. But maybe with oil, they would be good, I thought.
And they are!
I don’t expect them to last long. While everyone kept talking about icing them, I didn’t feel like it and I didn’t think they needed icing and honestly, that’s a whole lot of sugar. I was willing to do it if people really wanted it but in the end, no one really cared that much.
I did the three mile walk while chatting with my sister on the phone. That was nice.
R. cooked some bacon today, because we were getting kinda low.
We had all our meals at home, except I think T. had lunch at the theater at work. He had dinner at home, tho.
