Cabin Fever

The snowcropolis continues and I have not set foot off the property since a little after noon on Thursday and it has reduced me to baking. I think I have lost my mind. I don't cook, just ask my husband. Now don't get me wrong, I did go through my earth-mother phase when I did plenty of cooking, baking and canning when my children were small. Then they grew up and I retired from that job. Or maybe retreated. At any rate, I don't cook but last night I made bacon and eggs and pancakes for dinner. Today I dug around in the freezer and found a bag of vintage chocolate chips and part of a bag of walnuts so I hunted up my crusty old Toll House Cookie recipe and my equally crusty Skoville mixer to see if I could still do it. And I made a tuna salad recipe with shredded cabbage. And I told The Husband I would make some meatballs for dinner.
I can't take much more of this.

Betsy@My Salvaged Treasures said...: Did you save some cookies for me? I used to bake these all the time way, way back in the day. I retired from the head chef position years ago...it better not snow around here.; February 10, 2014 at 7:30 AM

I am waiting for whatever crazy weather we are going to get, but maybe it will just be our drought.

One more thing we have in common - we don't like to cook. But, I love to bake. I just don't do it often because I like to eat it also.; February 10, 2014 at 8:19 AM

Annette said...: LOL...vintage chocolate chips, lol!!! Cold snowy weather brings out the baker in me. Hubby's co-workers always get most of what I make, otherwise I would eat it all.; February 10, 2014 at 11:06 AM

Blessed Serendipity said...: I had to laugh at your "vintage" chocolate chips. I bet your cookies tasted delicious and I bet your husband is enjoying being snowed in more than you.
