Yesterday I was worn out and edgy. I found it difficult to work and almost impossible to concentrate. I called my friend Jean L. regarding a horse and ended up heatedly going on about a topic like a firebrand! All day I was on edge.
I had an election season hangover. The past couple of months have been very intense for me and I have been tightly wound. I think it took a day to detox. : )
Maybe now I will go back to my usual sweet self. : ) : ) : )
I think I my be experiencing similar symptoms! I have been feeling kind of stressed out lately, today is a rainy day, the election tension is gone, and I am feeling a little grumpy : ). Soooooo... today Sienna and I are going to make this special treat to nibble on with some Black Tea and cream.
ReplyDeleteI included the recipe below. So if you need some perking up these usually do the trick for us : )
I am also going to make a simple cream cheese frosting to dip them in YUM!
Post Election Hangover Ginger Snaps: )
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup light molasses
Preparation:
Combine flour, soda, and spices in a bowl and set aside. Cream sugar and margarine. Beat in egg and molasses until light and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Chill for 2 hours or more. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on lightly greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake about 8 to 10 minutes, until set.
Makes 8 dozen cookies.
I like the way your mind thinks. When in the dumps, eat something delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have all of the ingredients on hand, so maybe I'll give it a try this afternoon.
