T Stands For Cookies (and photo woes)

 

 

I'm having a terrible time with my camera.  I went out on Sunday and was planning to take photos of a few murals.  This is what I got.  I first noticed the problem the day I voted, but I thought it got better when I took a couple of photos from the side window of my car.  Not so.  

However, it appears to take fairly decent photos inside.  I kept my fingers crossed as I unloaded these photos a few minutes ago.  Yes, I'm running behind again.

Please join me at my dining room table for coffee and cookies.

My coffee wasn't exactly light enough, but I learned why as I drank it.  I splashed the cream in the coffee, but didn't stir it.  All the cream sank to the bottom.  Yes, the photo is blurry, but I took 27 photos and this was the best of the bunch.  Seems it's having trouble focusing, too.

I got the second pen when I voted last Tuesday.  Before the upcoming election, we received a request that had to be filled out to get a ballot, but the ballot request came too late to return it in time.  Once I got the request (which required a first class stamp), I would have to fill out the ballot and return it before last Tuesday (requiring another first class stamp).  I'm cheap.  More than frugal. CHEAP!  I knew it wouldn't cost $1.16 (USD) to go to the voting place, so I gladly chose that option.  I used the second pen as I had the first to mark my choices on the touch screen.  I also wore disposable gloves and a mask, although there were some there who were not wearing masks.

I'm not really a baker, but I was given some M & Ms before Halloween.  I decided to bake some cookies.  They are as ugly as they look.  The batch gave me 25 and of those, these were the very best looking ones.  They were pitiful, but they tasted OK.  Not delicious, like the purchased gooey and soft chocolate chip cookies, of course.

Nope, they don't look any better up close, either.

They look even worse the closer I get.

Someone who did look good up close

was the guy who is NOT the face of our blog.  Cute, slim, and trim Squiggles.

While in my dining room, I took a couple of photos of my pineapple "plant."  Is it my imagination, or has this really grown since I brought it inside?

The baby spider/airplane plant seems to like it better inside, too.  The cilantro, not so much!

It's now time to share your own drink inspired post this week.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.
