Wonder if adding something rough to the pointer finger would help...something finger printy

There are tech gloves that have a sensor pad built into the pointer finger.

Afternoon Spoon. Woke up with a head like a ballon. SWMBO kept saying she wasn’t contagious….well…guess who go got what she did. Resting all this morning. She’s hovering around being a pain because I can’t baby her. I don’t feel like digging deep and just trying to attempt to pull off a miracle and go out. Can’t wait much longer.

Usually shift gears but had this last shot of Iceland preloaded…so here it is.

Stay warm up north. Looks crazy in the airports. Not gonna miss that.

Feel better soon, H!

WHAT...Freezing rain. Additional ice accumulations around a light glaze.

Fuck you very much, Mother Nature
First the freezing rain, then the snow?
One less thing before leaving town - I moved the eye exam out 3 weeks.
Hell No! to driving home... in the dark... with dilated eyes... after several inches of snow covers all that glaze ice we got from the freezing rain.

The Fishtail Master Class getting off the interstate after the freezing rain while I was at my morning appointment was about as much excitement as I can manage in a day.

My thanks to the oncoming driver who slowed down and patiently waited until I could manage to drive in a straight line using only a single lane.

Oh, gosh! Be careful, Likes!

Up at 3.... ugh

You better be asleep now!

Absolutely, she would! I was savage. Even gave the bug a "byeeee" as it was circling the drain!

I thoroughly enjoyed - perhaps more than I had a right to - watching Ethyl and TDK play that poor mouse to death.

Well, the Ridgeline deserves it!

Sometimes, things are best left on the drawing board.

Up. Coffee. Short week day, and maybe end of this "adventure" day. We'll see.

I finally caught up! I've been so busy lately, it's been hit or miss here. I'm baking like a fiend to bring to friends.

These are potato chip cookies. They have an avalanche of powdered sugar on them!



This weekend I also baked for my friend's mom's birthday. I chose to do an experiment; IDK why.

What I did was make a mashup of cupcakes with cheesecake. I made almond cupcake batter, then almond cheesecake batter. I poured cupcake batter in the bottom of the muffin liner then poured cheesecake batter on top.

The first batch was in regular muffin pans. They looked awful but tasted good. The next batch was in the jumbo muffin pans. These turned out much better. Still not really pretty but better.

I had cheesecake batter left over so made a half dozen mini cheesecakes on a ground almond crust. All were topped with a chunky blueberry coulis.

They were a hit! My friend's mom loved them!

Cupcake/cheesecakes:


Mini cheesecakes:




The unfortunate first batch? My young helper took them home! Win!!

IKR??

IKR??

I have several ideas swirling in my head right now. It might get interesting soonest.


Allah hasn't brought me all this far to drop me on my head.

Good morning denizens of the diner. I see Wat is up and getting his coffee I hope. A quiet day today. Have a nice hot cup of coffee.

Question- where and when did the expression “cop of Joe” originate? I am just curious.
