(I biked! 2 miles!)

Ahhhh......

((chuckle)) Thing 1 is EATING TODAY.

so

conclusions

1: no-bake cookies still require more flat space than my kitchen has

2: plz to define 'boil' better where candy is concerned

3: I think I made them too big since I onle got 26

4: good god, I hope they taste better than they look

Oh dear yes. Candy is very very temp specific.

Pics?

turds

I love no bake cookies, they're one of my favorites

Oatmeal based?

yup

oatmeal, PB, cocoa, butter, sugar, milk - little vanilla & salt

((nod)) Hey, they look good to me.

I almost always BUY stuff for exchanges

kitchen is not good for cookies at all.

Space issues can definitely make things tricky.

Beezer cookies would be.....

while these were challenging, traditional cookies would be worse

don't have enough space or trays

but if they are really bad, I can still buy cookies

Yeah, gotta do what you can do.

I tasted a drip, oatmeal was still hard

but maybe it will soften during the cooling process

1 minute oats, nu?

That could happen!

i hope

I'm sure it will be fine, bought or made or not. ((hugs))

yeah

mom called a few times today

she's worried that she's a bad person because she's angry about the Jean situation

I'm like "that's normal" - right? She's scared and worried

It sounds very unlikely that Jean will be out of transitional care in time for christmas

Yep, very normal.

Would be weird if she -wasn't-.

It is going to be a weird christmas, I think

Jean has ALWAYS been there.

Maybe not some christmases when my parents were still married, but tbh I don't remember that far back

It is going to be different, yes.

((hug))

ok, maybe I should figure out dinner and that will help

I'm sure it will.

Update: they do taste better than they look

GOOD.
