more baking

She was an intrepid baker.   I showed her how to scoop the dough, flour the board, flour the dough, and flip it over a couple times and then start rolling.   Sprinkle a dab on any sticky spots.   She caught on fast, and had only one moment she yelled for help and had the rolling pin encased in gingerbread.

I helped her get straightened out and she was off again.

Then the sugar cookies were baked.  She'd gone home by then, so it was just the two of us--Jay frosted gingerbread and I baked the cookies.  Not used to doing both the breadboard and the oven, so there was a bit of a struggle. A few pans were burned. Squirrels like them anyway. Out the door they went.

Later she returned all by herself to help sprinkle cookies. She hung in there a long, long time, and used so many sprinkles Jay said to fetch the trays and recoup some overage to continue on. All were done.

Very nice job, my darling.

Thank you so much for your help.   Love, Grandma
