How long does golf take?! I am sitting here - already cleaned the house - re-organized the closet and now I'm bored :( What's everyone else up to?

    I've been off and on.  I'm baking all day today and part of tomorrow.  Cookies take a freaking long time, I've discovered. 
  • clstarclstar member
    I'm having a lot of fun, though!  I did burn myself two times, but it's fun other than that. :)
  • YUM! Baking! I should have done that today - I love to bake and try to use my brand spankin' new KitchenAid Mixer whenever I can! What kind of cookies?!
  • I'm packing, but maybe I will take a baking break!!!  Let's go look for recipes!!!

  • I am so bored at work.  The phone has rang ONCE today since 8:30 AM and I have gotten zero return calls today to my voicemails. 

    5:00 PM cannot come sooner.  Unfortunately, I will hit the Red Hot & Boom traffic on my way out of here..which will add 30 additional minutes of gridlock for me, and then I get to go to crowded Publix.  SO I am really looking forward to the 3 day weekend!!  Party!!!

    Fab idea! This is why I love this board! :)?

    They are dual colored star cookies.  Basically, you color one batch of dough red and one blue and leave the other white.  Then, cut out big cookies and use a smaller star to cut out the center.  Then, you swap the colors.  So, there's red with blue in the middle, etc.  Does that make any sense? 

    There ended up being way more small ones, so I'm going to ice them.  I'm going to attempt my first flood icing.

    And the reason it's taking so long is because I freeze the cookies after rolling and then again after cutting.  If you pop them in the freezer before baking, it helps them retain their shape.

    Very interesting - I will have to try that next time I have my cousins over for cook baking! Those sound super yummy too!?

    AHHH! I am so sorry! In my 24 years of living in Orlando I have never gone to Red Hot and Boom. I have no patience for traffic or crowds so it's just not worth it to me! I hope Publix isn't too bad - is it the one right there on 436? That's where I got my wedding cake.?

    Yeah, I saw it on Martha, haha.  I also saw it in an article in Cooking Light.  It's definitely helped.  The stars aren't perfectly pointy anymore, but they don't look like flowers, either.

    Oh the traffic is such a mess every year for that.  I am actually going to the Publix in Lake Mary, but with last min. July 4 menus, I anticipate it being packed with everyone having their eye on same items.  I am not in the mood for it today hehe.  I just picture 15 women all looking through corn cobs and fighting over the bi-color ones or something.  I just want to go to sleep  lol 

     

  • Oh I miss living downtown.  I would stand on my balcony and the fireworks would look like they were right over my head.
