Yes! I baked yesterday afternoon. I mixed up a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, but rather than make the "civilized" size, I opted for MONSTER sized.
I grabbed the larger of my two scoop sizes and ended up with thick, chewy, 4" cookies. Instead of six or seven dozen, there were two dozen. The first batch turned out lighter as I tested my way through baking times. The second batch was darker, but not as dark as they appear in this late day photograph, and still chewy.
Handsome ran an errand while I made these, and my own Cookie Monster was delighted to see them when he walked in the back door. Made my day, actually.
We both spent a lot of time off our feet during the day, and although my knee still feels tight, I'm pleasantly surprised that there's no longer that intense pain. More like a dull, tight sensation. Have I turned a corner? I'm being optimistic here. I may have.
Physical therapy this morning and then no trips to town for the weekend. Jenna is off today, so I'll have a different therapist. We'll see how hard she wants to push me, and how I do with it. I'll let you know how it goes.
I can always console myself with milk and a cookie when I get back home. That's if Handsome hasn't eaten them all! I'm not too concerned. They're a bit rich to eat more than one for me, and maybe two, even for him.
Happy Weekend!!!
