And there my big old squash still sits. It does look very pretty in its basket, but I'm not sure what its chances are of actually being turned into a wonderful soup. What is its "purpose in life?" Will it fulfill its "purpose?" Could it have dual purposes? Maybe its enough for it to just sit in its basket and look gorgeous!
For now, I can tell you that cookies are winning. I did finally make Mom's wonderful coconut oatmeal recipe over the weekend, and it looks like I may go for the shortbread recipe that I found in my France-The Beautiful Cookbook the other day.
Those of you who know me well will remember a time when I was on a pot holder terror. For a couple years in a row I must have made 30-50 potholders.
I'm starting to feel about cookies the way I was feeling about potholders back in 2013 and 2014!
Of course there are challenges to baking here. I have a gas oven that is basic with no temperatures of any variety on the dial.
And, sometimes I need to get the dictionary out or have a personal consultation on some of the ingredients.
We shall see.
Happy Wednesday!
