Time to Stop Cooking… Soon

Just when I thought all baking for the holiday was done I remembered I had to bake cookies for a funeral. I am happy to do this because our church is very good about providing a really nice service for church members we lose. I know that one day it will be me someone is baking cookies in honor of so for now I bake for others.

We started our day going to a sweet neighbor’s house for a little brunch. That is when I remembered the cookies. Thankfully making snickerdoodles is something I can almost always do as the ingredients are staples. That is unless I run out of cream of tarter. Thankfully I did not. And by the way, cream of tarter is one of those things that used to be very inexpensive, but now is a fortune. I wonder if it comes from a country with a high tariff?

I think with the completion of these cookies I am done baking for a couple of months. It’s back to work on Monday. This should also mean the end of eating holiday food.

I wish that summer came right after the holidays so I could just get food from the garden. Perhaps living in the Southern Hemisphere would help post holiday eating. I want to just have salads, but it’s not great salad season.

At least it will not be baking season. Oh, and soon the peppermint ice cream season will be over as soon as I serve the whole peppermint pie that is the freezer on Saturday night. Please let the eating end.
