Flour, Sugar, Eggs & Thor

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it’s time to get busy with cookies!

I’m trying to be super-organized this year, to ensure I stay on track and leave time for all the various stages of the multi-step varieties.

In preparation, I developed a spreadsheet of the ingredients required for each cookie type.

This will hopefully remove any need for emergency grocery trips. A separate tab holds the schedule for how I’m going to get everything done this week (leaving time for spinning guild meeting on Saturday 🙂 )

So far I’m on pace.

Nekkid gingerbreads are standing by for frosting later this week (they always benefit from a bit of aging)

and springerle are resting/drying, awaiting baking Tuesday morning.

On the docket for tomorrow are Pfeffernusse (am- dough already chilling) and Cinnamon Mandelbrot (pm).

You might be asking yourself, who is Thor?, and what to they have to do with this?

This is Thor (name from The Man- I’m thinking that it’s a girl kitty, but we don’t know, so are going with Thor for now )

and the only connection to this is that he showed up here last monday evening, and has been hanging out ever since.

We’ve had Thor checked for a microchip (nope), posted “found cat” notices on craiglist, nextdoor, and with our local humane society, checked with neighbors. Noone seems to know where this very friendly kitty came from.

So he’s sleeping in the hoophouse for now.

If you happen to know anything about Thor or if he has a family missing him, please let me know!
