Between cookies for the family and pies for the dinner at Steve’s house tomorrow I have been in the kitchen all day long. I do not mind I love to bake and I have had help today, my 6 year old Grandson David has been helping and if you have a 6 year old you know that it will take me longer to clean up the mess than it took to bake the cookies, but I do not mind it was a pleasant experience watching him absorb the cookie making process, and it will not be long and he will be ready to make cookies himself. A man that can cook is always a plus around the house. I think we are ready for Santa to visit tonight and I can not wait for the presents.
Too hot to cook inside
It has been so very hot, it is to darn hot to cook inside. I refuse and we are going to live off sandwiches and if some one wants to fire up the grill they can cook outside. I hate summer in this house it does not have an up to date air conditioning system and it gets so very hot in a couple of rooms including the kitchen. So after it gets hot I stop baking and only cook breakfast, that is while it is still cool from the night. No more chicken and dumplings no pies and worst of all for me at least no turkey and dressing. These will just have to wait until it cools off a little.
