There is something soothing about smelling baking aromas throughout the house...especially at Christmas. And, this year there is an added plus to smelling these aromas = figure you don't have Covid if you can smell!!!!! I opened the microwave after heating Woody's soup for his lunch. I commented on the fact of how good it smelled and Woody said that in this instance that is a very good thing to be able to smell food! Kathy continues to feel okay as do the rest of their family and as do Woody and I. Being quarantined has a different feeling than the sheltering at home that we have been doing since March. The English muffins that I made today didn't come out quite as good as the ones that I made a few weeks back...but still good. This time I decided to add some different flavors to them like some of the catalogs that offer baked goods. Today's attempt was to make Apple Cinnamon English muffins. The flavor isn't very strong...but the aroma while cooking said that they were apple cinnamon. Maybe the flavor will develop more as they sit over night. I will try one again in the morning to see if the flavor is stronger. We have had supper and the kitchen is cleaned up from both the baking and supper. I plan to do a little sewing and stitching this evening. Woody's dialysis treatment is in full swing...on the downward swing now as there are just a couple of hours left for today's treatment. We have both felt quite sleepy this afternoon. It has been a rainy day so perhaps that is why our eyes keep trying to close! It continues to be mild today but according to the weathermen that trend is supposed to swing downward and we will be seeing much cooler temperatures this coming week. I guess it is only fitting for it to get colder so it will "feel more like Christmas!" 'Tis the season! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
