Looking Out My Window ... A beautiful summer day. The view of the large tree outside my "big window" (i.e., my patio door that doesn't go anywhere) makes me feel like I'm in my own cozy little tree house.
I am Thinking...About fall...and what it's going to look like. Our offices have been working from home since March. They plan for us to come back into the office in some capacity. However, their proposed restrictions are not setting well with me. If I have to wear a mask all day, social distance from co-workers, and have no access to our communal kitchen (meaning nothing to eat or drink all day), I might as well stay at home to work. Oh, well, I'll just enjoy the summer and tackle the fall when it gets here.
I am Thankful...
- For God's continuing provision.
- For my friends in Arvada who pastor a small church that I can attend until mine can open again.
- For the return of my creative mojo (see below).
- For having a job and the ability to work from home.

From Auntie's Test Kitchen...This past spring (before quarantine) I went to a church retreat at the Hideaway Retreat Center in Colorado Springs. Among the wonderful breakfast foods available (though someone needs to teach them how to make real biscuits) was what I call "loose" granola. I've eaten granola bars, but had never had (sorry, I don't know what else to call it) the loose kind. Putting it in my cereal or mixing it with yogurt was thoroughly enjoyable and, for me, felt quite fancy. I wanted to recreate that wonderful taste at home. After perusing the shelves at the grocery store having no idea what I'm looking for, I mentioned it to a friend who gave me a recipe for homemade granola. The first batch turned out really well, albeit a little overcooked (high altitude, you know).
