Cookie Hell
I am currently baking my last batch of cookies. Like I said before, I think the final count is between 6 and 7 dozen: 2 dozen Viennese Crescents, 3 dozen sugar cookies, and 2 1/2 dozen poppyseed cookies, plus the gingerbread cake that I need to make whipped creme for tomorrow. Anyone local want to drop by tomorrow night for dessert and coffee?
I am not overly pleased with the oven. We figured it was kind of off since things took forever to cook, but Steven finally went and bought an oven thermometer. Turns out it is really off. I started preheating it around 3:30, setting it at 500* and the highest temperature it made it too was 250* and that was only briefly. It hovered mostly around 200*. I also noticed the tin foil I used to line under the coils with has gotten so hot that it's crumbling and I can't put anything on top of the stove without it getting really hot. I had to move the gingerbread off the stove because it was almost as hot as when I took it out the oven yesterday.
I should think about eating dinner soon, I guess. We had a late lunch. I could have soup, I guess, or leftover Indian.
I guess I'm going to make the onions and applesauce tomorrow. I just realized I forgot to make them and now I'm tired.
