JD's been bugging me to bake some cookies...... running the oven is a great way to heat the house.

Hard to imagine freezing weather already. It's going to be in the mid to upper eighties this week. I am enjoying the cooler nights though, I love Fall weather in Texas.

Actually, it's cool enough that even I can start using my oven again, cookies sound really good right now.

    COULD YOU SEND ME SOME OF THOSE COOKIES? THANKS. WE HAVE HEATING RESTRICTIONS THIS WINTER. FUN AND GAMES. GOOD THING I LIVE IN A REGION WHERE WE HEAT VERY LITTLE AND MY APARTMENT IS EXPOSED DUE SOUTH. TAKE CARE.
I will post the recipe along with pictures so you may make your own Kringlas. Running the oven to bake them will help heat the apartment.

Peanutbutter cookies with chocolate stars and Kringlas are on the list with maybe some frosted sugar cookies. I kinda wish I had a Russian wood fired oven in the house.

Too bad that you are far away, Darter, I would let you cook and bake for me all day long. Of course I would share with you. It was a nice day with 78 F and bright sunshine. Overseas I have a tiled stove (Kachelofen) with two fire places for wood and coal. And you can sit on top, even stretch out, and warm your buttocks and have a nap.

Myseek, thank you. I had to open a new account, just could not remember my password. Now I have a new handle and new laptop. I hope to have a profile photo up soon.

Thank you for responding, Maudie! A profile photo gives me the feeling that I am talking to a real person, especially now! I know that a new computer can cause some problems in the beginning. I went through that 5 months ago.

I hope, Darter won't mind our conversation on his Blog.
