Fail for good

susandennisI wanted a deep plastic bowl for my hand mixer for my ginger cookies. But, Goodwill is still closed and I'm not going anywhere anyway.
Still... I wanted to do the ginger cookies again to see if I could replicate the perfectness of last time. I did not and I'm glad! I thought that the dough looked a little less firm than last time but I wasn't sure until I rolled them out. Yep. It needed maybe a quarter cup more. I'm glad because I now feel like I can recognize and adjust appropriately when it happens again.
These are the very best. I frosted the last ones but I wanted to have a batch without so I could test storage again. I put the frosted ones in the cookie jar and they got soft.
So this batch will be divided 5 ways for testing purposes.
1. freezer
2. air tight container
3. plate on counter
4. cookie jar (loosely fit lid)
5. my mouth
Right now they are perfectly crunchy. Let's see how they fair in 24 hours.
I think I'm buying a new recliner. When I bought this one, last Summer, I also found one in the Lazy Boy store that I really liked. I did not pursue it because at that time, I wanted immediate ass satisfaction and they were saying 8 to 9 months.
I have a cheap Amazon one that looks nice but is really uncomfortable and is the only visitor chair in the living room so it needs to be comfortable. Plus, it would be nice to have one that I could swap with this one now and again.
But, I'm not going back into that store. I could order one on line but I have questions and need a sales rep. So I sent an email to the store explaining that I wanted to buy the chair but wanted to do it via email - not in person and not on the phone.
I got a nice email this morning apologizing for the snow delay and asking how she could help. So now we're on. The main questions now is cover and payment options. If I can pay some down and the rest on arrival, I'll go ahead and order now. If they want full payment and then delivery in a year, that will take some considering.
