My hobby is cooking. Recently I set about figuring out how to solve issues that I have had in the past with my fresh baked cookies.
But in that process I came upon something that opened my eyes. On the weekend over several weeks I set up test batches of cookie dough, baked the cookies then measured how well they stood up to the past cookie issues that I had. The drawn out timeframe caused me to use butter purchased from three different places. Maybe I should have known this, but something labeled "Butter" does not have to be 100% from butterfat, according to the FDA, Grade AA butter must possess a fine and highly pleasing butter flavor. Wow, pretty scientific requirement there. My cookies told me that even some name brand butter fell short. I finally settled on a cultured, handmade 100% butterfat butter that I buy at a health food store, and goodnight was the difference in cookie results plain to see.
I guess it is possible for an aging dog to learn new tricks.
Rob Gronkowski retired today.
Probably starts the countdown to Canton. I can think of greater Tight Ends from reading about some and watching some, truly don't know how Gronkowski match up to Mackie, or Winslow, but he seemed to be on par with or a little better than Ditka. Regardless, he has been the most dominant Tight End of his playing years, a bruiser that often had players come after him equally hard, hence his injury issues. But even with injuries, he leaves with 3 rings and as the second highest playoff scorer in NFL history.
It is 85 degrees now in my north-central Florida county.
Nothing special to note about that, but things are changing environmentally and that is of note. People can argue about the exact cause of climate change, but a person has to be a complete idiot to deny that climate change is taking place.
When I was in grade school, the mint-colored new leaves on the trees would break out around early to mid-April, I used to use their appearance as a marker that school would soon be out and summer break would start. This year the leaf buds appeared in early February and by the end of February, many trees has mint-colored new leaves, now pretty much all trees have them, some with heavy new foliage. Although the sight is beautiful, I can't help but feel like it is a Frankenstein still asleep but slowly awakening.
