Oooh, I have wine but I am not yet in pajamas. Good idea!

Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
More wine! That's what this evening is missing. Oh, and dinner but it sounds like that has just arrived.
Last batch of cookies in the oven. 68. Will have to be filled tomorrow night or Sunday morning. I've been at it since 8.
Had my hair appt time wrong; so glad they called! Actually makes scheduling better.
Oops, 77. Forgot to count the tray in the oven.
Is it weird that I am surprised you can make cookies in numbers that are not divisible by 12?
Not really surprised, my dozens don't exactly come out even, but somehow taken aback.
Maybe it's just that the extra-dozen remainders are fair game for eating before they cool off and therefore do not really count as finished product.
I just figured she ate one off the last tray.
I never manage the same number advertised. Usually more for drop cookies (I make them smaller) but for this recipe, I had to triple it to get 5doz. And from the initial batches, I was only getting 20 each, so I have no idea how 77 happened. Same special cookie scoop (must thank SIL.)
But that clearly means five more should be eaten.
It's the only way to be sure.
My dad joined the Navy very near the end of WWII, signed up for flight school, and then the war ended. So they kicked him out of the training program he was in and put him on a troop ship to Japan to bring soldiers back.
He got the GI bill out of it, and never had to fight, which I'm fine with.
