    Rebecca - Corey dragged the last of the frozen cookie dough for the cowboy cookies out last night because he was having a sweet craving, and urged me to make them again. I use an ice cream scoop to portion out the cookie dough, freeze it hard, then ziploc four at a time to be cooked later. I made the ones he baked last night in April! They're basically an oatmeal cookie on steroids, with chocolate chips added. That's why your cookie binge made me think of them. Nice of you to give up one of your Lily's bars for them! Hope your trip is just wonderful. Is this your first time to see Eli?

    Sue - Honestly, hot tubs are even more "people soup" than bathtub baths! :D I've gotten into hot tubs that I own, but that would be because I know who's been in it, and am familiar with the cooties. At least that's "me" soup. Getting into "people soup" with strangers is way past my ability to survive the ick factor.

    Allie - Sorry about Sean's issues, but pleased you enjoyed your time with Doris.

    Painted, played with clay, did laundry and then painted some more. Good day.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    Yep our first meeting.💖🤗. I will teach Athena how to do introductions.😁

    Vince said his hand still hurts so we won’t be doing any outside work. It’s so beautiful, I wish we could get the topsoil, but Vince doesn’t think he would be able to hold a shovel to move it around. So...I refuse to sit around so I’ll go volunteer at the Green Room

    Rita – “workers not caring”, seems to be pretty universal

    Off to the Green Room

    Today was cookie making day for sons birthday present. I figured since we're down, we might as well bring him the cookies I normally make. They turned out well. Oatmeal with a broken up bar of Lilly's dark chocolate. I made 2 dozen.😁

    I just picked up some Lilly's white chocolate- I have never used the brand with less sugar- It was cheap (3/$1) want to try making some of our Christmas fudge with it.
    Is it any different than regular cho. when cooking with it?

    Nope it melts the same, but I have never used it for fudge making. Just additives. Hope it works out. I normally buy the dark chocolate bar with sea salt. Sometimes I buy the milk chocolate bars, love them.👍🏼💖

    Thank you.
    I will try a test batch and see. We like that is the lower sugar. Dh and MIL are both diabetic but still eat regular sweets. Mom has a friend who is also diabetic and likes mom to bake for him so this will be good for him too, hopefully.
    Couldn't pass it up for that price.
    Does it taste any different than regular?
    Dh likes white choc(I don't care for it) so hope this is something he likes. May make some cookies with it to try it for him.

    Yes I need to take over more and more stuff every week. I guess I need a phone reminder to get the trash out.

    I put everything in a Google Calendar and have it set up so that it sends notifications to me and sometimes also my husband.
    - Appointments
    - Regularly occurring things
    - When bills are due
    - Things I need to do in the house
    - Things I need to do in the garden

    Then I use a month whiteboard (something like the one below) and write in all the things coming up in the next month. And I make a point of showing it to my husband at a quiet time so he can look at it and comment on it.

    Dh just tried a piece and said it was really good white choc.
    I have bought their chips before but haven't used any of them yet.
    Need to pull out a bag and try them

    I like the taste of Lilly's chocolate also; however, it is made with erythritol so you may want to look up the link with erythritol and blood clots.

    Community Being off line this morning was rough! I messaged Lanette to make sure it wasn't just me. Then got busy at work. I am caught up, but it is past bedtime. Hopefully can catch up tomorrow.

    Much love,
