It's not that easy

susandennisLast night, Seattle turned into Mariners City. We had the night off but, Boston lost (thank you, Boston) and all of a sudden our playoff chances got brighter. My Twitter feed went nuts. The Mariners were actually covered on evening news. It's all wild.
We have a chance but it is not even a good chance. Even if we win all three games (not very likely), a magical, mystical combo of losses and wins involving other teams/games really controls the outcome. But since the Mariners are the only ones in the pile who have never been to a World Series, we're getting the attention. It's marvelous.
Ticket sales for this weekends' games have blown up. Can you say Super Spreader??? I just saw the games mentioned in the traffic alert. There were not even enough people at games in 2019 to merit that! Fun stuff. Game time 7 pm.
In other news... I'd forgotten the problem with breakfast burritos. I always burn my mouth. I have a hard time waiting until they are cool enough to eat. But even through the burning this last batch is a good one.
Today is Costco day. It's not an old people day but I don't want to wait until the next one (Tuesday). I want parchment paper, a $5 chicken and steps. And so that's the plan.
I bought a new computer on eBay. It's a 10 inch chromebook that folds back into a tablet. An Asus that is an ancient model (2015) but there is none like it. I found one for $70 from a store that apparently has a bunch in stock and a good rep. So I took a chance. I already have one just like it but I want another. I want one for the car. And this one is perfect for the job. It arrives today.
Next week when the house cleaner comes once errands, if any, are done, I can just find a shady spot and entertain myself. Also when I'm waiting for a store to open or my order to be ready or just anytime. It will be handy and a backup.
I also may need to make some cookies today. I ate all the ones from the freezer yesterday. I think ginger, maybe.

1 cup butter (The original recipe uses shortening, but it's better with butter )
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups of sifted AP flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups of oats
Cream the fat and the sugar, mix in the dries. You can either scoop and bake them right away or roll the dough into logs, chill them, and then slice them into thin cookies. Bake at 350F for ten minutes or so depending on how big you make them.
I usually just scoop them with my mini ice cream scoop. Makes the perfect sized cookie and its less fuss than making and slicing the logs.
I love the old Better Homes cook books. They tell you how to cook anything. Not only is there a recipe for brains in mine, but also a menu guide for what to serve with brains.
