Tech issues

I couldn't get into Blogger until now and I was having trouble keeping the updated cam image loaded on my laptop. I'm not sure if it was my internet connection at fault, or the notoriously sluggish Blogger. It's probably a combination of both.

Tonight the Best Mom in the World joined me for an evening of baking and basically to experience my glamorous life in front of the CookieCam. As a result, the baked goods flowed freely from the oven and pizzelle maker in a quick manner!



First, we sliced and baked the Butterscotch cookie dough from last night. We used my brand new Pampered Chef crinkle cutter. The finished product looked like very thick potato chips!



Next, we tried a recipe that Mom found on the side panel of her box of corn flakes. The cookies were called "Crunchewies" and they looked and smelled divine! Maybe Mom can email me the recipe so I can post it on my Recipes page.



See Kim. See Kim when she can't get into the bottle of stuff that makes her feel so very perky!



Pizzelles were next. They're very easy, but a bit boring to watch (and make) since there is 60-90 seconds of boring stand-around time while they bake. Mom took over the helm for a bit.



At least we made a few nice sized stacks of them!



Tomorrow night's iffy, as I REALLY need to get some shopping done because the last day I'll see all my coworkers before 2006 is Thursday. I'll try to swing a late night version of CookieCam Friday night.

So for now I leave you with my favorite song of the week, Barenaked Ladies' "Elf's Lament". (warning...lyrics site...may have spyware...be careful!)


Current score: Kim 13, Cookies 1, Oven 1
Casualties: Two burned butterscotch cookies. Fed to dog. Two greasy pizzelles. Fed to dog. One bloated dog.
Total Amount of butter used since the start of CookieCam: 10 cups
