I'm certainly not a little boy, but you can pretend if you like.

I've never had to defrost a freezer, but a friend once did my old
chest type one for me. What a puzzle of I-don't-know-whats it was.
Never again. thank you.

The High Desert USMC's "Miss Jeanine" has been honored, an important
little. For this year's Christmas quick breads and cookies baking, I
have use of one of the Food Services surplus off-station walk-in
freezers. The SSgt granting me access has set up a 2'x6' roll-in with
many shelves that are independant trays I am single-layer putting all
my well wrapped breads on, and I'll finish up with several containers
of wax paper layered cookies as I proceed. This weekend was a finish
to the five different breads, with 23 mini-loaves of Damsel's Mom's
Cherry-Chocolate-Chip-Banana-Nut (that you have to say as one word,
it's the rule) Bread. Next weekend I'll start on the four to five
different cookies, hopefully to include a very new to me one that is
similar to York's Chocolate Mints (especially for my daughter, the nut
intolerant one of we).

I also cook up, or make something for my office to lunch or snack on
all week, and this week it is to be the just now finished Used Pasta
Salad, along with three of the Christmas mini-bread loaves the Marines
volunteer "testing" for me each year. The salad is referred to as
used because I mix into the pasta the endws of whatever raw veggies
may be in need of use, always different. This one has carrots,
celery, water chesnuts, both black and green olives, a green apple, a
wee bit of shredded cabbage, black beans and three or four splashes of
different seasonings as well as a rather tangy olive oil dressing.

This evening I am now one TiredPicky!
