Allergies are the devil

I was going to post sooner, I swear.  But massive allergies made me a useless person.  I don't have normal allergies, instead it all drains into my ears and makes me consistently dizzy.  When I'm like that, I can't think or concentrate.

So we get an update by pictures:  the crocheted frisbee.  This has been put on hold.  The lovely folks at Rav have helped me sort out what happened, though, and so as soon as I get some other projects done, I'm going to go back to this one.

I'm working on other things, they just don't have pictures right now.

I also made key lime cookies for the Super Bowl.  They are by Martha Stewart, in her Baking Handbook.  Yes, I love Martha, and I don't care.  These were sublime.  Though, um, apparently if you have heart burn you shouldn't eat too many in one sitting.  I may or may not have eaten six or seven in a row (which seems to constitute 'too many').

 

The one thing I did 'wrong' was that I didn't have confectioners sugar, so I used regular sugar for the glaze.  This gave the glaze a really interesting texture. I figured it would do something like that, but I didn't really care. Next time I make these, I plan on using confectioners, but I'm hoping I can remember about the cool texture of the regular sugar glaze, and find a good application.  I'm thinking it might be neat on cupcakes.
