Bakin' the easy way

We pulled out the Easy Bake oven today. Our daughter got it for either her birthday or christmas. Did you know that you don't have to use the pre-made mixes? There are recipes out there that tell you how to make your own mixes. Call me stupid, but I thought that the mixes were special. We made Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies (from the mix - I don't think we've quite made it to the level of making our own stuff yet.) We left them in for the specified time, but they turned out a little gooey chewy. Very tastey tho. Not any faster than making the break and bake cookies, but there was bonding in this process.

Today is football day.....ugh. Who invented it? Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with football. It's just that when I was growing up it was always on TV, so I'm not partial to watching it when I was forced to watch it when I was young. We only had one TV, so if you were in the room, you had to watch it. DH wants me to watch it with him. At first he thought I didn't want to watch it because I didn't understand it. I understand it all too well.

I haven't finished any knitting in a while. That's sad, I know. I am working on a baby blanket and am thinking about starting on a second one. I know too many people going to have babies. I have also browsed some sites and found some potential projects that I would like to start. It's just a matter of finding the right yarn. Being on a budget, it will more than likely come down to acrylic. Please don't throw the stones.
