Thank you and others for the good wishes. Today has been the first
whole day of being home on a week day, and I used it well enough.
I'll have plenty of kitchen doings that will be more pleasant and less
tiring than usual because I need not do it all in crammed full days as
in past years. After the holiday season is over I will enjoy being my
own full time housekeeper and gardener, and I will also be doing
voluntary works about town.

Today was one huge batch of cookie dough mixed and into the freezer,
the amount of which will make over 20 dozen. Another big batch of
Donut Muffin batter ingredients are set out to mix and bake in the
morning. The last two years I have made mini muffins to package six
together. Tedius doings! About half of the reports (daughter
gathers) through this past year have been that folks would also love
them in a full cupcake size, so that is what I will be doing this
year. I can freeze to bake later all of my cookie doughs, but the
muffin, cake and bread batters all need to be baked before freezing.
Having the Donut Muffins baked to later thaw, then to warm butter
dipping the tops to roll in cinnamon sugar for single packing will
certainly be okay by me!
