I just finished 3.5 hours of making cookies, rhubarb muffins and loaf, AND strawberry-rhubarb jam! Whew!
My daughter wanted a cookie at the restaurant we were at, so I suggested that I make her some and she could have one before bed. They didn't turn out the way I like them. While unfortunate, it's probably a good thing.
I had cut up a bunch of rhubarb from our yard a few days ago. It has been sitting in the fridge waiting for me to do something with it. My intention was jam, but I don't have enough jars for the amount of rhubarb I had. The heat of the oven brought to mind a marvelous recipe I have from Canadian Living for Rhubarb Loaf/Muffins. It is very nice. I doubled it and used almost all of the rhubarb.
With only a bit of the rhu and a container of strawberries quickly going downhill, I decided to make jam. I had 2 jars ready. It made Those 2 and 2 cups extra in bowls ready to use first thing. I think it will taste really good! I'll have to remember to get the bread out to make toast in the morning.
So, that was my evening. As I was cooking up a storm, I thought I don't have many hobbies. I cross stitch, but I don't always want to do that. I like to be active. I find baking rather stimulating for some reason. I kind of get lost in it. I also listen to my ipod while I'm at it. If only I had a kitchen elf who would clean up my mess! But progress in that I cleaned up right away tonight. No leaving it all for tomorrow.
Now, I'm off to do my Bible reading. The book of Acts is very interesting.
