Jean in Newcastle 176,484 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 (edited) I am 2/3 of the way through the Linen Closet of Doom. I have actually done all the linen part of it. Now to tackle cleaning supplies and way too many bottles of stuff like sun screen lotion - probably much of it over ten years old . . . Really? I got an old expired lotion booyah?

Wheres Toto 20,344 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Morning. I barely slept last night. Those darn cookies. I need to get back into my slightly healthier routine with yoga, Tai Chi, and less cookies. I won't be meeting dd for a little while. She was around someone positive and has mild symptoms. Luckily we hadn't gotten together in over a week just due to stuff, once on my side and once on her side. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if I would like the chocolate version better. I'm not a fan of soggy cookies. Cannolis on the other hand, YUMMY. And the italian cookies with the jelly in between the layers or dipped in chocolate with sprinkles on the ends. Now I want cookies. The recipe I use calls for lady fingers, and I use crispy biscotti lady fingers instead of the softer ones, so they aren't very soggy. Also, there is some chocolate, although not much. And it's technically kahlua, not coffee exactly, so there's that. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We might have to change venues, because although our governor's executive order allows medical exemptions to wearing a mask, the current venue does not. ::I'm not going to entertain discussions about whether we should or should not.:: We have to decide soon, like tomorrow, as we need to keep the same date (April 23 & 24), and that's coming up on us pretty quickly. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
