When the Weather Gets Cold, the Cold Get... Baking.

Wonderful Husband and I are still in the throes of resisting turning our furnace on for the winter. (Except for the part where it isn't actually winter yet and won't be until the 21st.) The comforter on our bed has steadily evolved from light to midweight to heavy (heavy being light and midweight snapped together), he's taken to wearing a jacket around the house, and my wardrobe choices are now drifting toward sweaters, occasionally with a tanktop underneath. I've also gotten into the hot breakfast mentality several mornings a week, and have made more than one loaf of soda bread thus far. This weekend, maybe/hopefully, I attempt to create yeast bread. Ovens warm up the house. So tonight I took six summer squash (I have one squash vine at the community garden that's still producing) and grated them up and made a loaf of sunny zucchini bread, and after that was done, since the oven was already at the right temperature, Wonderful Husband did up a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies.

Of which I think I shall go have another....
