*As in, the Cheaper by the Dozen dad
On Friday, I baked 4 1/2 dozen cookies, 2 dozen bagels, 3 dozen pumpkin muffins, and 2 batches of granola.
Yes, that is a lot of baked goods. No, I am not opening a bakery.
On Saturday, I skinned, cut up , and bagged 24 tomatoes for a total of almost 9 pounds of diced tomatoes for our freezer and the winter.
All lined up and waiting for their water bath.
Yes, efficiency is a good thing.
Yes, I was wise to decide to catch up on baking on a relatively cool day (as in, not that humid and a high of only like 90). Yes, I love baking for friends and family. Yes, I did prep all the dry ingredients on Thursday so hat the actually mixing process on Friday would be much faster.
Yes, the tomatoes were getting over-ripe and needed to be done.
Yes, I’m glad it’s all done.
Yes, I was EXHAUSTED and needed my Sabbath rest desperately.
P.S. Don’t attempt any of the above unless you have a husband at home who can watch the baby.
umm, that looks delicious and beautiful!! i’m super impressed!!
wow, that is a lot of baking. You must have had to put some systems in place to manage that! I don’t think my personality could have handled it, I would have gotten distracted! -J
