It is 4:30 AM.
Should I stay awake?
Get up and bake some cookies? 
Do some laundry?
Make a fire?

Definitely going to start with a fire first tho. It is a balmy 30 degrees, dipped down to 21 sometime in the night and will get up to 44. It will be sunny all weekend. WHY AM I NOT POSTING THIS IN THE WEATHER THREAD? BECAUSE IT IS TOO EARLY! AAAAAHHHHH

Well now the cat of the house has decided it wants to sit on the bed with me. I can't go anywhere now.

It is really just here because he wants to direct me to his food bowl.

I don't see why not.  She'll even grind the cocoa beans fresh, and milk a cow, or maybe a goat, which ever is handy.

I have tons of cocoa powder,  too, some of which is going to be turned into brownies in a bit.

I was supposed to be making cookies,  but my brown sugar disappeared,  container and all.  Imagine opening the cabinet and seeing an empty space where the brown sugar should be.  

One of these days, I'm going to take all my keys back from the fucking kids so maybe they'll start shopping in the goddam grocery store.

I finally made sure I have brown sugar again. Mine always seems to harden before I get to use all of it. One of the recipes I looked up for oatmeal cookies uses molasses. I def don't have that here that I know of. Do you think I should try adding some syrup?
If I make these tonight (didn't do it this morning) I think it may be the first time making oatmeal cookies.

I've made oatmeal cocoa balls, omg there is that one cookie, a no bake cookie w/ oatmeal and coco powder....and peaunt butter maybe? Those are sooo good!

Its not even 7 PM. I've made a fire, fed the cat, fed myself, took the garbage to the compactor (its 2 miles away) I was ready to lay down and go to sleep.

People are coming over to help replenish my wood pile and I have a friend visiting tomorrow, so I am preparing for that.

No bake cookies are awesome. There is no way to fuck those puppies up, they come out delicious every time.

You can soften brown sugar in the microwave.

So, I fucked up my muffins. Recipe called for 325, I was thinking of a recipe I did earlier in the week that was 350.
I had crispy edges and gooey centers. People still ate them.
