No Riding; Just Eating

Our rides yesterday and today were rained out. so I baked and ate instead. We are going to a party this afternoon, so I made Hungarian shortbread to take along. It's two layers of very buttery, light shortbread with jam in between, then heavily dusted with confectioners' sugar. Tomorrow night, we are invited to friends for dinner, and I made individual "bundtlets" of lingonberry tea cake. It has lots of spices in it-- cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg-- so it made the house smell heavenly while it was baking.

We had lunch at our favorite-- Theresa and Johnny's Comfort Food Cafe, and then a regular trip to Goodwill. I found three bike jerseys there today. Even if they don't fit us, I'm sure we'll find good homes for them. We also went to someone's house to look for a refrigerator for Jerry's new office, but instead, he got a surger for practically nothing. It's something Jerry has really wanted, and he's having a great time playing with it.

With any luck it won't rain on New Year's Day and we'll get to ride. And eat.
