I don't shower and get dressed until I'm wide awake, about two hours after I stumble from bed....
I'm not wide awake until it's almost time for bed! Hence my 3:00 AM ramblings...

If you have a little extra jam try these!
Jam Bars
½ cup light brown sugar
1 cup AP flour
1 cup rolled oats
½ t Baking Soda
1/8 t Salt
½ cup butter, at room temperature
½ cup jam
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender to form a crumbly mixture. Press two cups of the mixture into the bottom of an 8X8 inch square pan. Spread jam almost to the edge of the base crust. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top and press lightly. Bake 30 to 40 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into 16 small bars.
Notes:
I sometimes add chopped nuts or coconut to the crumb mixture.
When the bars are cool spank a little powdered sugar on top.
Maybe someone swiped it for scrap...
Boy that seems like a lot of work. Unless you don't have to separate dissimilar metals and the insulation anymore.
I'll have to call the nearest scrap yard and ask them for next time. Although it would probably cost me as much in gas as what I might get for it to drive there.

Bad bars, they need a spanking

I felt like having ribs tonight so I ran all the way into the city to get them. The ones they sell in the town store are real fatty. On the way home I also picked up some fresh, locally grown corn... finally... and treated myself to a large soft serve twist of orange sherbet and vanilla yogurt. Boy, have ice cream cones really gone up in price.
I've been mowing this morning (since Pac didn't show up to help me out!
I'm taking a rest.

I am feeling much better with my asthma, it is still there but managed by the prednisone. Unfortunately the medication makes me very hyper and agitated. Last night I was supposed to rest but I needed to burn off this excess energy so I started the baking for my order due Monday for a tea. I did four rhubarb loaves, a pan of cranberry oat squares and got some prep done for my blueberry zucchini muffins.
I really hate this feeling, but I also hate not breathing properly and coughing and wheezing nonstop. The treatment lasts 7 days.
TB took the day off as I am uncomfortable being alone with the moods from the prednisone and I had another blackout yesterday. We have to meet my sister at the bank for the finalization of Dad's estate and are then taking her for dinner for her birthday tomorrow.
You too? I have the craziest sleep patterns. Or no pattern at all.....
Hey, Laurie. I'm curious - how do you keep the baked goods fresh for Monday? Do you freeze them?
I have some bananas starting to turn brown. I think I'll make some banana-nut muffins. I made them last month from a Cooks Illustrated recipe that includes plain Greek yogurt - they came out beautifully! They were so TALL!
LP, good to hear you're breathing better. If you have any leftover energy after you do everyone's work on your end of the continent, could you swing by my place to lend a hand? Then you can continue east to Andy's and Addie's. Seriously, though, hope you're all OK soon. And happy birthday to your dear sis.
Wow! So you RAN to the city! You must be really tired.
What city are you near?
