I have a chocolate cake recipe that calls for espresso powder, so now that I have some it might be an excuse to bake the cake.

My kids still tease me about my instructions to wear "a helmet everywhere." My daughter sent me an angel sun-catcher/prism for Christmas. Those photos of the last outing in 2020 are great. Sometimes I think it's a good thing we don't know what is coming.

I would have to drink it early in the day or I would be up all night. Justin is always getting into something! Was he like this as a kid? I would have had to look away a lot! But he does seem to enjoy himself quite a bit, and that's great. That hat looks really cute. I eagerly anticipate your adventure with it. The before times, will we ever feel so free again? I feel so changed by the pandemic, but hopefully someday it will be a dim memory.

He had Santa, a snowman, and the Grinch. Yesterday, we drove by and he now has a big blow up hearts thing. I thought the same thing as you ..........a little early, eh?<br /><br />That hat is going to be really neat. It reminds me of thrums, but more delicate.<br /><br />Justin's tree "stand" looks like fun --------well, fun at 3 feet. Not sure I would like to be in it 25 feet up. Tell him I said "be careful".

But it would be nice to have some espresso on hand for brewing. I've been making herbal teas in the afternoon - they are soothing and good, but I often just want a nap! LOL That hat looks so interesting and fun. I can't think of anything in particular I am looking forward to - maybe getting back together with Dee! I've been holding off after Anna tested positive for Covid at Christmas. Soon though I think it will be safe!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-48794040389995027042022-01-03T09:40:40.762-05:002022-01-03T09:40:40.762-05:00I'm always on the outlook for something fun to...I'm always on the outlook for something fun to add to my cart.

I have been watching Hunter's hat teasing with GREAT interest. . . And sometimes we really do need to look away when our children are . . . well, just doing what we hoped they WOULD do . . . (take risks, try new things, do what they love, etc.). It's so unnerving, though, to watch them actually do it! And I really like the idea of treats-while-grocery-shopping.

I don't know if it really added much flavor but the cookies were great. I go back to work tomorrow and I can't say I'm looking forward to it but some routine will be welcome, I suppose.

I can well understand the urge to tell him to be careful more times than he wants to hear it.<br /><br />That instant espresso sounds like a nice treat, and I think the same stuff is used in some baking recipes alongside chocolate.<br /><br />I can't think of anything specific I'm looking forward to this year, except for maybe spring. We only just got home yesterday and I'm already sick of the cold!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.com
