Back in the kitchen

Here I am again making beef jerky. I seem to be living here a lot of hours. I do plan to mix up some sugar cookie dough today and hopefully get them baked sometime before I go to bed. It is really pretty outside my kitchen window again this morning but the tempature is Cold only 19 degrees.
I am sitting here in my flannel pajamas drinking my last cup of coffee where it is cozy & warm. The aroma of the jerky is really filling up the house. I made a spicy batch and a sweeter one this time. I will get out some more decorations & start bringing a bit of Christmas spirit into the house, I lit some candles last night & with the tree lit it was nice & cozy. We are going away for Christmas so I wont decorate as I usually do. My friend Carol from "Curly Willow Ranch" see her blogsite , she is a follower of mine... gave me some ideas to use some of my rosemary plant. I will give that a try too..and the ginger plant....
Just keeping busy is not a problem for me. By the end of the day I feel I have accomplished a lot and look forward to other projects to do. Never bored for sure..and seems like I always have something fun to do.
