It Could Be Worse.

I'm sure there are plenty of worse activities to engage in to unwind...I prefer to clean, bake, and have a beer.

Beer, (funny shaped) cookies, banana bread/cake, and sourdough bread dough (to bake tomorrow).

It started with me cleaning the kitchen after dinner.  I noticed a "very ripe" banana on the counter ready to either be thrown away or mashed up for banana bread.  Can't let a banana go to waste!  So I started on that.  Then I remembered I wanted to bake another loaf of bread, and pulled out a beer for the recipe.  Perfect for drinking the excess.   

Once I got the banana bread in the oven and the other bread dough "resting," I remembered that Mr. TPG, who tore a muscle this week, has been a little down.  Since he has the sweet tooth in our family, I thought he deserved a treat. :)  Glancing around the kitchen, I saw the cookie kit that my sweet sister-in-law and nieces sent to me as a "welcome home" package when I got back to Nevada in December.  It sure came in handy tonight!

Thank you, A+C+A+fam!

And that's how I unwind on a Friday night after a very long week.  Man, I feel a little old.
