Crafty Tuesday

It has been a bit of a dry crafting week. Aaaagain!

Oooh, oooh! Wait! We have been baking, can I count that towards being crafty?

J. found a new choco chip recipe for us to try last week. So we did. You know it took so much coercing, too.

They were really yummy except that the walnuts were a little old. Did you know walnuts can go stale? Yeah, that is the tip of the day. Probably ought to buy walnuts more than just once a year. So we are going to attempt the cookies again this week, sans nuts.

Tonight I made some blueberry crisp since two little girlies (who shall remain nameless) convinced me that we had to have two pounds of blueberries, and then said little girlies didn’t seemed to want to eat any blueberries. But bathed in a little sugar, oatmeal and butter, they are delicious! I forgot to take a photo, but I’m eating some now as I post…and trust me, it is good.

I know, I’m really grasping at straws here with the baking, and I did manage a few birthday cards, but I can’t show them yet since…well, they are still waiting to be stamped and sent out.

Which, by the way, today is my best friend Kimmer’s birthday today! (Um, hi Kimmer! It is your card that is still sitting on my desk…it is coming, sorry!)  Will you pop on over and give her a little birthday love, for me? Sending happy thoughts your way today, Kimmer. Four more years! Eeeeee!!!

And in return for doing that little favor – I promise to have some real crafting for next week!

k-thanks-buh-bye!

  1. those cookies look yummy!

    about the walnuts… do you keep them in the freezer? i don’t think they get “stale” if you keep them there. i don’t know from first hand experience but that is what my mom does and they always seem good. 🙂

  2. Oh, those look so yummy. I should throw my walnuts in the freezer because I think I buy them every 2 years. 😉

    I made a few more skirts for me…that I didn’t post last week. I didn’t make anything this week, so it does help to have some projects in the hopper. 😉

  3. Those cookies look goooooooddd!

    Walnuts, cookies, crisp…all that goes in the freezer here!

  4. Yup, freezer! The oil in them is what makes them go stale/rancid eventually. The cookies look damn good though!

  5. UMMM… yum. I’m partial to my cookies without nuts. You won’t catch any stale nuts in my house.
