On a roll

I seem to be doing as little work as possible these days. Maybe this is a good thing while I figure out my goals and future (sheesh). I biked to a little new-to-me coffee shop that turned out to be carry out only. I sat at a table outside and did my writing assignment for the day. When I got home, I did some work, then started baking. We’re spending the weekend with a friend at a beach “cottage” and I decided to make some lemon pound cake, bread, and whip some egg whites into meringue cookies. I don’t know what went wrong with the cookies, but it took forever to get stiff peaks. During baking, they mostly kept their shape but flattened a bit and leaked a gooey, clear liquid. We had to pry them off the baking sheets, but they are a nice texture…on top. The lemon cake is cooling. I’ll have to bake the bread in the morning. If there’s a bread issue, we’ll pick up some bagels. Yes, sometimes there’s a bread issue! After getting most of the baking going, I did some more work. Then I decided to do some yard work. More baking. Now the cake is cooling and I’m periodically brushing on some lemony glaze. I am really looking forward to relaxing this weekend. 

Grateful for: baking.
