Here's Habit for You

My son and a friend of his have faithfully been shoveling the driveway at intervals during the snowstorm today. I've been rewarding them with hot chocolate, 'cause, well... I don't have to shovel if they do!

The third time I sent them out (we have a horrible driveway that is a terrifying monster when it comes to snow being piled at the foot of it with the city plow), I decided they deserved cookies. There are no cookies in the house, but I have butter, sugar, eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, milk and cinnamon, so snickerdoodles are easy enough to make. (Just a sugar cookie with a cinnamon and sugar topping. I'd never heard of them till I married a New Englander).

So, here's the weird part. I didn't have one, and didn't "taste" as I cooked. Normally I do, but hey, it's TUESDAY. Pre-disapproved. No excuses.

Am I hungry? Yes. It's close to dinner time. And ya know what? I bet the pork loin, apple, onion and red wine dish I'm going to make is gonna be delicious, too.

I like that, I pay the neighbor kid cash to snow blow my driveway.

My wife makes Snickerdoodles all the time. (Some people pay big money for he canine version of these...

) They are at times irresistable.
