Despite my best efforts and the discipline of sitting at the keyboard and attempting to write, it was a slog this week. I had a lot on my mind, and I couldn’t turn it off long enough to write something decent. When that happens, I have some choices.
Tuesday Tunes: Queen, Somebody to Love
Seemed like an appropriate Valentine’s week pick. Love me some Queen.
Monday Menu: Valentine’s Day Treat
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I wanted to do something chocolatey. It was between this recipe and a sheet cake. The cookies won out because I have a super busy week and these are easier to transport to various locations as I run around.
I also wanted to see how they fared with the Air Fryer baking method. With traditional baking, they are great right out of the oven, but even with the extra butter, a day after, they tend toward dryness. The air-fried version retained its crisp outside and gooey insides.

Furry Friday: Canine Crew
Jasper rocking his new jacket. He has been sensitive to the cold this winter, and once he got used to the sound of the velcro, he seems to be liking the look.
