Just for something different, we lost power today. Five or six times, actually, but fortunately only briefly each time. The electrical grid around us is so old that a breath of wind or a drop of rain takes it down, sad to say: part and parcel of living out in the sticks across the street from cows!
I had intended to bake some of the cookies for The Girl's school fundraiser this afternoon, but decided not to risk using my electric oven with the power popping in and out. Ended up making two more batches of cookie dough (caramel malt chip and thumbprint tea cookie) and calling it a day instead.
On the bright side, the school board meeting tonight was blessedly uncontroversial and world-record short--on balance, I'll take it!
