My God! I have handled so much flour this past week, I think it may come out of my arse if I fart (when I fart). Well, that theory is shortly blown (no pun this time) but anyway I am about ready to die and it's 1000 degrees in my apartment.
I have made cookies of the sugar, chocolate chip, and double chocolate chip variety. Some mixing required, but basically no sweat boxed variety. Hey man, I used up so much effort on the other stuff I just couldn't do these from scratch. Besides, if you bake them right, they are nice and soft and tasty. The other things were: traditional shortbread cookies made from scratch, and English cream scones--they go with the home-made apple-butter. The apple butter is also from scratch. I may make some more later the easier way by buying plain apple sauce, but this batch was made from apples the kids and I picked a while back and have been storing in the entire bottom drawer of the refridgerator. They come from a little orchard here in louisville. The kids helped as much as they could without risking burns and such, but I did the lions-share. They helped a lot more than I thought they would...
Anyway, it has been fun and tedious, and work, and rewarding...
