Cookies at High Altitude

Today was a little work followed by a massive amount of baking. G and I made four batches of cookie bars – all of which seem to have turned out fantastically. I also got a call from work asking if I’d like to pick up some more hours tomorrow (working 8 rather than 4) and then Husband and I settled in to watch Star Trek.

Man. That movie is JUST as good as it was in the theater and I still laughed out loud at all the funny parts. And it was still FUN to watch. We’ve got a couple of more in the queue (Angel of Death and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past). In other media news, finished the latest installment of Charlaine Harris’s Grave series and it was really really good. I”m hoping it isn’t the last.

I’m about a third of the way through East of Eden and enjoying it. I blame Mr. Farrah and his need to read Steinbeck aloud (with character voices) to our AP English class junior year for all my avoidance of Steinbeck since. I’m okay with blaming him since I know he didn’t care much for me, either. Also, CHARACTER VOICES. Ugh.

While Husband catches up on the Texas/Nebraska game, I’m going to read some more fiction. Photos and recipes from cookie day will be posted tomorrow.
