I must admit I was a skosh nervous about the whole setup. But I think this is the easiest and most convenient cookiecam setup I've had yet. Below, you see what I see. And yes, those are vintage crinkly plastic Christmas decorations stuck to my windows. Thank the Lord for those 3M command strips.
I can see my desktop pc from the kitchen ("It's all part 'n parcel of the whole single-girl gig: PHENOMINAL COOKIE POWERS!!!! Eeeetibity living space!") so I can see if the site gets borked somehow. I only lost connection once, and was back up in less than 60 seconds. Setting up the kitchen only required brining in the old IKEA table that I never got off my lazy ass to return this summer and raising it up to work level. For that, I used four 97-cent crates I bought at Wal-mart. I thought Martha would be proud, until I remembered that she was K-Mart. D'oh!
Finally, it was time to get down to business.
The snickerdoodles baked up really quickly (this year, I'm baking with gas, baby!) so I had time to do some peanut butter blossoms as well. Only one minor casualty.
I did find this warning on a stick of Crisco shortening quite disturbing. Would anyone really truly TRY that?
Now that I got my mojo going (and thank you for the lovely comments...I'll pretend I wasn't a publicity whore and didn't email you all) I'll be back at 7pm tomorrow night.
