Cookie Baking Night (07/27/20)

 Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attedance this evening: Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. 

In honor of my brother's birthday tomorrow, we made his favorite dessert. It's officially called Pastachio Dessert, but he always refers to it as "green stuff'. 



It starts with a crust





then a cream cheese layer


Next pistachio pudding and top that with another layer of whipped cream



For Bible time, we've been working on learning the names of God so that we have a base knowledge of His attributes firmly planted in our heads (and hearts). 

Tonight we learned the Hebrew name Elohim, which means strong creator. 




We tried an experiment where we numbered 10 pieces of paper and put them in order and placed them in a paper bag. We blew into the bag and then popped it. We wanted to see if the pieces of paper would leave the bag in order after the "explosion". Every time, the experiment produced non-orderly results. We came to the conclusion that order doesn't just happen, it's created. 





We finished the evening with a lively game of Zingo. 


As usual, a fun time was had by all (even those at the back of the table).

Tonight we made Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. 












Carissa wasn't able to join us this evening, so we took advantage of some of our new found technology skills and did a teleconferencing visit with her. 
We were even able to play a game together. 





Shortly aftter we finished making the strawberry bars, Enzo asked if he could get out the cleaning toys from other room and clean the kitchen. 


Well, I think I'd be a fool to turn down that offer. 


Today was my 11th treatment of Taxol. Only 1 left to go, and I am grateful! This past week was a bit of a low-energy week for me and more of...
