So this post is like a mix tape except instead of songs, it's topics. I figure there's really nothing too small to talk about and besides...that's what paragraphs are for anyway, right? You can just skip to what you want to read. :)
This morning, I was reminded that Atlanta traffic is among my least favorite things in the whole wide world. If I never had to drive in it again, I wouldn't be disappointed. 1-2 hours of nonstop jaw clenching, brake tapping, accident avoiding, muscle tensing stress is just not my cup of coffee. Some people love that kind of life and I fall into the other category. And I love where I live. Just a small town - not rural, not big city. But all the same, I should be thankful for traffic. Or at least the fact that I have the privilege to drive at all.
Yesterday I was reminded of how much I love Soft Scrub. Cleans a kitchen sink better than anything and leaves the washcloth/sponge smelling nice to boot.
Also. Time for fall baking! Yesterday I made some snickerdoodle cookies that turned out quite fantastic. And that is a surprise. The running joke in the family is that every dessert I ever bake always tastes like sugar cookies. Even if it's a chocolate ganache cake. So. This was a real victory. Let's just not mind the fact that a snickerdoodle is very similar to a sugar cookie. Trust me. They taste like snickerdoodles are supposed to taste. Maybe I'll put up the recipe.
Caramel sauce was also on the agenda - I have a fantastic recipe from an issue of Southern Living a few years back. We made it in college a few times and ate it with apples as a midnight snack...ah yes. Who is healthy in college? Hollandaise sauce, anyone?
And wouldn't you know it, today is GORGEOUS. Far too pretty outside to be typing away on the computer inside.
College football starts up this weekend! Go Dawgs!
