Sunday Afternoons

My favourite day of the week, bar none, is Saturday. There's something about having a bit of extra sleep on Saturday mornings and knowing that I don't have to be up early the next day come Saturday night, that makes it the perfect day, no matter what happens in between. 

Sundays are more hit and miss. There are days when I'll go out to the garden in the morning, and come in for lunch only to discover it's 3 in the afternoon. The hours just slip by far too quickly. Some days however, there seems to be enough time to accomplish what didn't get finished on Saturday, sort of like today. 

We had a hodgepodge of weather today; there was the occasional brightening of sunshine but for most of the day it looked more like this, and worse...those trees were bent right over at times.

So to compensate, indoors there were was some of this happening...

And when the trees look like they might snap on a whim, there's not much else to do but start baking. It not only warms the house up, but Glimmer twin tummies too. It started with a beer cheddar loaf. Which was inconsiderately devoured before the thought of a photo had time to hatch. And from there one loaf quickly snowballed into two loaves of banana bread.

And then I looked around for something else to do, like blogging, but the Artist was cleaning the office, so I retreated back to the kitchen and decided to make a little treat for our border patrol guard. All natural goodness with only four ingredients; our quality control expert gave it two paws up.

But they were finished rather quickly and it was still forty-five minutes until dinner and the Artist was still cleaning, so I pulled out a sweet little cookbook that had belonged to my Grandma. Inside the front cover, she had marked down a few recipes with their page number, including an oatmeal cookie recipe.

And it looked so darn easy and so quick that I whipped up a batch of oatmeal cookies which literally took 10 minutes to throw together and are delicious as all get out, making them my new go to, cookie in a jiffy, recipe.

And now that we all know how many calories I need to burn off this week, 

how was your weekend?
