You're eating the wrong ginger snaps, then. I go for Yates' Gluten Free chunk ginger cookies or their slightly crispier gluten free knockoff from Trader Joe's: cut up chunks of soft candied ginger in a chewy brown sugar cookie liberally dosed with ground ginger and butter. Divine with chai tea.
I baked pecan butterscotch blondies and vodka marinara ricotta shells tonight, by dint of opening the upper floor windows and letting the oven rip. We're currently living in our basement, because that's the only cooler that's working, la la la. For a week. Hopefully we'll get it fixed this week.
No real words this weekend (needy Mr needing companionship, which I totally understand). But while watching movies and podcasts, I got a bit further on on the ridiculous $200 scarf. I am a contrary sort. In addition to baking when we have a heatwave and a busted cooler, I apparently must work on a fuzzy scarf in the middle of summer. But oh, it's going to be lovely: 80" strips of recycled linen and bias-cut cotton, sewn into a loose 1"x3" grid, washed and frizzed to release the Fluffy, then sewn at the intersections with small, flat rectangular mother-of-pearl beads. It's fuzzy, but somehow sophisticated. It glimmers in just the right way. I have absolutely no place to wear it, maybe even in winter...and I don't care.
