Tired
Flickr just went down while I was getting ready to create my photo post for the past two days. So far the project in interesting, though there are a few days where I have struggled with what to capture. I swing between taking a photo of what happened during the day and taking a photo that is interesting. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Burr, it’s cold outside. Want to turn up the heat in my house even though it says its set at the right temp.

Just finishing up making a batch of chocolate chip and black walnut cookies. I thought about making a few without nuts, but decided it would be too much of a hassle. In reality, these cookies are all about the combination of the chocolate and black walnut flavors.
I use the recipe on the back of the Nestle’s Tollhouse bag, with a few modifications. The biggest modification is changing the ratio of brown and white sugar in the recipe. I use one cup of brown sugar and a half cup of white sugar instead of three fourths a cup of both. More brown sugar in the mix makes the cookie thicker and chewier. Besides the sugar, I put in a teaspoon more of real vanilla extract and use butter instead of margerine.
Why do I always start these baking projects after 10? I’m tired now.
Thanksgiving and the Crocheted Bag
Finally got around to uploading a photo of the bag I blogged about earlier. It’s not big enough for groceries, but it is just the right size for taking things back and forth from work. I don’t know how many grocery bags I actually ended up using, estimate is around a hundred. The bags used in this project were from Gerbes (brown) and Target (white). I’m working on another, with clear bags from HyVee and Gerbes brown bags, but have set it aside as I work on other things.
Thanksgiving is in a few days, no major travel plans. The only non work plans I have is converting a bag of apples into a yummy pies. Apples were left over from the college ultimate tournament last weekend. Had to run by the store tonight, becuase I didn’t have any pie pans. Somehow even after staying in the same house for more than a few years, I’ve never picked up pie pans.
