Delicious! It could be there is only one thing that tops the aroma of fresh-baked cookies: the taste of those gooey-chocolatey rounders, right out of the oven. Guilty as charged.
You didn’t think I’d place them out without a sample, did you?
Clicking on the image will enlarge the picture and you can see that the display is missing a single cookie. Proof of my will-power that I stopped at one.
The oven arrived this morning and I’m able to do a little cooking in the kitchen, so I fired it up and made a dozen, just to try my hand.
If someone was to invent a canned spray that had the scent of chocolate chip cookies, it might be a seller. Undoubtedly, it would be loaded with calories enough to pack on pounds just by breathing it in.
Things are still coming together.
A couple of more items added to the wall, in the other picture. I discovered several more boxes of books that still need to be reckoned with, and I’m still fighting with the computers. They don’t want to talk to each other.
It isn’t a drawback that affects the store operation, but there are some items on the older machines that I’d like to access without having to email them to myself (my current system of file-sharing). Maybe before the day is out…
I did discover that tragically-slow running machines can be greatly improved. My once-fast Dell desktop had such a case of the Slows yesterday that I thought someone had filled it with molasses. Figuring that there must be some programs running in the background to slow even the internet access, I checked the Startup file and removed a dozen or so programs that began automatically when the computer started.
Voila! When I rebooted the machine, it was back to its old zippy self.
I just need to find a way to recover my old zippy self…
(Chocolate chip cookies are likely not the answer.)
