Dude, I'm Baked

So one of my NYE's resolutions was to do weekly blog entries. Well, over a week has passed and no blog entries. I have an entry that is a summary of 2009, and maybe someday it will get published. But as my attention span is so short- oh look something shiny- I'll ramble about something else.

One of my Christmas presents was a standing Kitchen Aid mixer. I've been wanting one for years, and well, I think Santa may have done one to many lines, because I don't think I've been that good this past year. But well, I'm enjoying Santa's little slip up. As I mix and mix, it's like- look mom no hands!

Ironcially enough, just like the rest of the planet, one of my NYE's resolution was to finally drop those pesky pounds that have been lingering on for the last few years. A 3 year break from exercise may be enough. But yet for the last few days I've found myself in the kitchen mixing all kinds of sugary and buttery goodness together, hoping that the heat will melt the calories away. And by some miracle of hope, that all the standing around as I bake will burn off enough that my ass won't look like a
giant snickerdoodle.

But than today as I challenged that dough hook to hook me up with some pizza crust, I convinced myself that I am being frugal and green. The pizza I made tonight cost less than an ordered pizza and I didn't kill any trees with a cardboard box. And the 7 dozen cookies- 2 different kinds- didn't come with any packaging.

So, one cookie at a time, I'm saving the planet, saving funds, and spreading world peace via happy taste buds.
