Today it looks like this outside.
Yesterday, we had our first snowfall on the mountains to the north though it was a glorious, sunny day. Today, the black clouds are menacing and it is windy. I decide I want some Treacle cookies with tea, to stay warm and cosy.
I haven't said so before but I am not the world's great cook so I really love recipes that are simple and quick. This recipe was simple to put together after I learned that treacle is actually blackstrap molasses or a golden syrup. I opted to use the molasses so my treacle cookies are darker than the ones in the photo at the link above. Also, I'm always busy doing something else rather than fully attending to my cooking and I overdid the first batch of cookies, he he. I will eat them anyway as they are for dunking in my tea.
Here I am in front of the television learning about why you should not feed a raccoon. I've always thought that raccoons are such cute little creatures and we have so many in this city so it is good to be reminded not to feed them! They are after all, wild creatures.
Now I am feeling toasty and beginning to think about things like tidying and cleaning. The work of re-piping is feverishly going on in the hallways here in my building. In a few days the workers will need access to all the units to do the re-piping that is required in each unit. I will be so glad when it is all over with. Now, where do I put the Christmas tree so I don't have to take it down again when the re-piping work is ready to be done in the unit?

Hello friend, love this post btw...
I have been silent for a spell - praying, and "busy-ing", and running, to stand still...
Please know how much I value you, your words are always a treat, and encouragement and your friendship is pure and true. I thank our Lord, for you.
Hey Jan, would love to come and make you some cookies (some day) :-) Can't wait to see the knitting and crocheting projects. Love xx
Mary-Laure, try Lynda's cookies. She makes all kinds of delicious foods.
Lynda, glad you dropped by. Yes it was a chilly day. We are now into our winter and it is raining all week. Monday was torrential rains brought by the "Pineapple Express" from Hawaii.
Shell, you can't know how your kind words touched me. They brought a tear to my eye. Love and hugs xx
