Copper Creek Chit Chat, Part #4

[FlyingV]

Not good Tiff, hopefully you have answers soon.

Banana bread is in process over here. I tried a sour cream banana bread recipe a few weeks back and it was really good. It was a bit sweet, so I cut back the sugar. First loaf is the test one for Mr. V, the rest are for gifts.

still baking. What the heck was I thinking?

 

[FlyingV]

Wake up!!!!!

 

[tlmoody27]

I'm awake. I went back to sleep when Morgan left. The anti nausea medicine makes me sleep and it was still lingering from last night. I was supposed to work today but obviously I'm not. Even if I could I don't have a car right now. It's still at my moms. Hubby will be home around 1 and we'll go get it this afternoon barring any vertigo issues.

Is everyone ready for Christmas?

I usually try to do a little baking for gifts for work and such. I haven't even thought about it this year. Probably skip it this year.

 

[FlyingV]

Morning Tiff!

I still have more baking to do, but what I needed done for today is done. *whew*

 

[tlmoody27]

Any ideas on some easy, almost no effort, kind of baking? I used to do it for everyone of the kids teachers, about 12 of them total. And everyone at work and aunts and uncles and siblings. I wouldn't mind doing it if it were super simple in time and ingredients this year. I am running out of time though.

Chocolate dipped pretzels. Easy and yummy.

I gifted one of my banana breads today. She gave me a plate of goodies, including banana bread.

 

[tlmoody27]

I love chocolate dipped pretzels. I also make chocolate dipped ritz and peanut butter crackers. Oh and theres those crunchy chinese string looking things dipped in chocolate too. Thanks, that got my mind moving. I'll pick up some stuff this weekend when I get groceries.

Good afternoon taking a small break from cookies. Got a late start I actually slept 7 hrs. straight. Then I had 2 failed batches. I recovered them but not gift able. I followed the recipes to a t. Went back to old school. Grans always said that the recipe told you what to put in. Not neissaceraly the amount really needed. You'll know when your mixing what you need to add for consistency. Grams was right. I really miss her.
I'm spelling that one word soo bad that spell ck doesn't know how to spell it. Well pb cookie dough should be chilled. Off to make the cookies.

 

[FlyingV]

The wisdom of Grams just keeps giving. I try to remember things that mine taught me, still miss her too.

 

[tlmoody27]

I'm very lucky my granny is still here. She's 81, has her good days and bad days, but I'm really glad I still have her.

 

[FlyingV]

We're going home early today, I have baking to finish.

*poof*

 

[Bamrz]

I'm not even thinking about baking, at least on work days. I'm lucky if I can make myself some dinner before I fall asleep!

 

[Bamrz]

Maybe I'll do some shortbread cookies, they are rather easy.

I stink at cookies. When hubby and I dated I made him some chocolate chip cookies. He said he really liked them so I would periodically make a whole batch for him. Not until we got married did he tell me that the cookies really sucked but he didn't want to hurt my feelings. I don't make cookies anymore.

 

[FlyingV]

I'm still thinking about getting started over here. Mr. V finished the dinner dishes so that I could bake. And here I am.

 

[FlyingV]

bah, I have to use up these bananas tonight. Off I go.

 

[tlmoody27]

The forecast for Christmas day here is a high of 79.

Last of the PB waiting to go in. Should be mixing my favorite Molasses. But hubby brought the wrong Crisco when I sent him to the store had already put it in the PB cookies when I realized it. Soo the PB cookies have a buttery taste. Not going to work in my molasses cookies. Forgot to hit post.
