rebeccmeisterThis week's Cookie of the Week comes from the Ratio cookbook by Michael Ruhlman. It's a really great cookbook, by the way, and makes for some interesting reading for those who are really into food. For the section on cookies, he recommended making the "basic" version of cookie dough at least once before experimenting. I only cheated a tiny bit, by adding some of the leftover crushed almonds from the raspberry-almond thumbprints. The dough consists of sugar, butter, and flour, plus a touch of salt and vanilla. Ruhlman comments that they aren't especially sweet, to which I must say, "Perfect."
They will be gone before the end of the day on Tuesday, I reckon.

It was 33 degrees F this morning when I got up to row. I've forgotten how to dress for cold weather. I think I will probably wind up getting new wool leggings this year. I have two pairs but they are both gossamer-thin and full of holes, so I'm skeptical about being able to repair them. Hmm, maybe I can stitch them together into a single pair of thicker leggings. There's a thought.
Being a ground floor dweller means that the floor gets cold when the weather gets cold, especially with the increased building ventilation rates. My office weather station says it's 17 degrees C. That's 62 degrees F.
I've had to resort to the full "Nanook of the North" look, as one of my old research mentors used to call it. My fingers are still ice, but the arm warmers mean that I can at least type.

Date: 2020-09-21 05:32 pm (UTC)I think my body temperature has a tendency to plummet in the mornings after I've finished rowing and bicycling to work. Now that I've just finished teaching for the day, I am MUCH more comfortable and warm, even though the weather station in my office says 18 degrees C.
Now I'm curious - where do you tend to keep the thermostat in the wintertime?
