Online presence

Every time I finally get around to blogging about the latest cookies I've made, I tell myself, I will be better; I'll make sure to write about the next cookie right after the event happens that I originally made the cookie for; yeah, I don't.  I need a different online presence I feel.  I love doing my cookie project, and I love sharing what I'm doing, I just don't like the blogging part.  Maybe it's because I have only a handful of followers.  And when I say handful, I mean like a handful of balls, where you can only hold like 2 or 3 and that's a handful.

So what about some other social media.  I don't think twitter is the right venue, you can only post a few characters.  Facebook only reaches my friends.  Instagram is only for pictures really.  What I feel like I need is a twitter like presence where I maybe take a picture of the cookie, or other picture that somehow involves the cookie, and then can write a short paragraph about it - like what's going on in my life at the time of making the cookie - because that's what the whole blog is supposed to be about - my life happenings centered around these cookies.

Suggestions?  Though I'm not sure what suggestions I'll get from my 2-3 followers - but they are good followers - the best - excellent.

Until I switch venues:

#156 Cookies in a Jiffy
I would not recommend going to a cabin with 7 boys ranging from 8-13.  I went to a "girls' weekend" up at the cabin that my sister-in-law cajoled me into.  She went up with her friend and no kids.  The problem was they combined this with other moms who did bring their kids - not quite the kid-free weekend I was going for.  You know it's bad when one boy says (during a water and sand throwing fight) "I know, Let's throw the spaghetti sauce."
These cookies were not only made in a jiffy, they were eaten in a jiffy.  A yellow cake mix combined with oats and m and m's.

#157 Simply fudgy brownies
I decided the cookies in a jiffy did not make a sufficient amount for the "girls only" cabin weekend.  Brownies are also quick and easy - these too were gone in a jiffy.  As the title suggests, just a simple fudge brownie.

#158 Root Beer Cookies
Mike found a pinterest recipe; he's always finding things on facebook and such for me to make; I should probably be thankful he does not have a pinterest account.  Anyway, he found a root beer cookie recipe that I should make.  I'm not sure why he even brought it to me, as he knows I only make cookies and bars from the book.  Fortunately, I told him, I have a root beer cookie recipe in the book.  Made from real root beer concentrate, it's a good thing Mike has a soda stream maker, because I could not find root beer concentrate or extract or anything, this cookie has root beer in the cookie as well as root beer in the frosting.

Mike and I may be a little jaded.  We're tough in our ratings.  Everyone who ate these cookies - softball potluck - loved them, however - Mike and I only gave them 3's.  Mike raised his rating after everyone else raved on them.

I've actually made #159, and I think I'll make another batch today, but it's for this weekend - friends cabin weekend - and I don't like to write about the cookie until I have "material" to work with.  The cabin weekend with friends usually gives some good material.
