It's Another Cookie Day!

"There's no end to imagination in the kitchen."-Julia Child

Baking is my creative attempt to let my imagination run wild. These past afternoons instead of busying myself with the myriad of chores waiting for me, I decided to engage in procrastibaking, the art of baking when you should be doing anything else. It has been fun taste-testing new ideas for cookies based on old recipes. I must admit that the clean-up is rather messy and adds one more chore.

    1. I think about the many times I've procrastinated while leaning toward creative pastimes. Once I'm in the baking zone, I feel unburdened,

  3. Carol, baking cookies is not procrastinating, at least not in my book. Think of it as creating mouth-watering treats to excite the tastebuds of loved ones and friends. Clean-up is not a chore because of the smiles you get when the tasty treats are handed out. Enjoy the fruits of your baking.

    1. Well said, Bob. I like your optimistic outlook. Many times I avoid household chores that can be put off if I want to stretch my creativity time.

  4. Carol, those cookies look spring-like and delicious! I too will "indulge in more than one." I love the idea of procrastibaking; in fact, I may do some of that today.

    1. Have fun engaging in a procrastibaking activity, Denise. I think your little grandchild is too young to enjoy your cookies but you can certainly offer those delicious Grandma hugs.
