butter cookies

i baked them!

i am going to be baking a bit more
then doing doughs for the freezer so bernie can slice and bake when he wants them
i am trying to decide what all else to bake for the freezer....
pound cake?
muffins?

ok the cooking baking frenzy is pretty normal for me, but really i just realized.....if i have all this stuff cooked, baked, canned and frozen ahead.....there is no reason we can't yank the kitchen apart and redo it is there?
i won't need it for a while if i got all this stuff done ahead....
(takes me awhile huh?)

after all he did tell bob when we were up to their house that the kitchen is getting done this fall....
i keep hoping...since that's what we said this past spring...( the kitchen planner sucked if you all recall......depressed the shit outta me)

now one of my other friends pointed out to me, that if i had a decent kitchen i would be so fearful of messing it up i may never cook again.....smart ass friends that i have

another friend said i wouldn't be nearly as funny if i had a kitchen that was good.... that the jokes i make about it would disappear....ok there is a point there....

of course i would dearly like to find out....
oye
but i keep changing my mind about where we need to put the new kitchen.....where the OLD kitchen is...or by the deck and then enclose that to a three season room....?
(that makes the most sense no?)
if we do that we can expand the studio too and make a closet (imagine that ......a real CLOSET....don't you love old old houses?)

ok meanwhile i am waiting for the first of the winter wood to come
ed called.....he'll be lot cutting until after 2 but then look for him

bernie finally realized i have to get the wood in NOW.....
so wood is what is happening for the next month and a half or so.....(in smaller loads so we can stack before the next one comes)
i am going to help stack cause he's really busy at work.....i told him he needs to put in for two more guys to be hired..
so far he's not done that
he will though i think soon.... as the company expands further and further out.
he's also got a few days off coming up.... he's never really fully off as folks call him but at least he will get to sleep late..
i think he's planning on helping me strip the front door so i can repaint it
or doing the woodstove
i told him if he wanted, i would call the sweep this year but i think he prefers to do it.... we'll see

lilli is clingy again......she's following me around like a puppy....she doesn't want to go out to the day pens....i am trying to get her and her sister phoebe together again so they can share a pen and a pond
right now i got malcom out far back with the little girls
phoebe in the pen malcom was in yesterday and falstaff in the a frame
i may rig a temporary movable pen for which ever duck is currently having pms....
(like LILLI........)
lill won't be happy to be penned though.... she really would rather just follow me around.

ok well i'm going back to the kitchen
i have to decide on supper.....
i don't want homemade pizza
my lettuces are bolting due to heat
so salad is sort of out.......(the cuc's are coming on so pickles and cucumber salads soon)
maybe grilled chops?
i took pork out but if i can figure something else that would be better.......
i have to make sauce this week if i can get around to it
we could have baked ziti (cause i am way too lazy to layer lasagna)
any ideas from you guys?

meanwhile i'm off to bake
