Springerle time...
Jan. 28th, 2012 05:44 pmThere are only two springerle left in the cookie jar. I have new flavorings and a cookie cutter for the Amo Te heart. And Roy is off looking at train pictures with the guys. Imperfect but [one hopes] tasty almond springerle will happen tonight and tomorrow.
I have cleared most of the horizontal surfaces in my office in addition to those in the kitchen. I am determined to roll the whole batch tonight and bake them all tomorrow afternoon, after church.
In other news, it was a sunny day, not particularly cold or windy, so I biked down to deepest south philly to buy cheap cuts of beef at the Shop-Rite. Then it was off to the Big 8 for veggies and fruits. A very nice day.
Also: it appears my Yahoo! account was hacked, and I spammed addresses that haven't been current for years, so the hackers pillaged my old old old mail, bleah. I changed my password and am running a full system scan and hope that will do the trick.
Also also: five of the eleven Class of 2006 keepers are putting out leaves. A couple of them are in the habit of doing nothing and then suddenly sending up a flower scape, so I hope that's what they're up to right now. The discards are also sprouting in the basement, leaving me in a quandary about what to do about them. Exotica's offset is putting up a scape, woo-hoo. No signs of flower scapes from the Class of 2009 yet, oh well.
Now I am going to relax with a cup of jasmine tea, my crocheting, a slide show of 2010 photos, and some tunes before starting the springerle marathon.
