First no cinnamon raisin bread now no chocolate chip banana bread.....getting worse by the day.
I did get the last package of cinnamon raisin english muffins at the store today.
Wondering if today's increase of sales will rival last Thursday's. Won't know until I go back on Wednesday.

The vixen had that on last night, too. I went downstairs and watched ISU MBB games from the Big 12 tourney that I DVR'd this weekend.
She didn't get the final one but I did. Granted, Wifey-Poo paused it so I got more than 10 secs.

That there is pure love.
I guess quarantines make us bakers want to bake more. I joined @Cybirdy in the baking club last night with a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. This after baking a skillet cookie (chocolate chip, of course) this past weekend. I have enough butter, flour, eggs, and sugar (edit: and yeast!!) in the pantry to make God knows how many more batches of whatever.
We're going to gain so much weight during the next few weeks.

There is a bright side to this whole mess

I was going to go to the ISU library today, but after receiving a message last night on an updated due date (2 days later) for currently checked out books, I guess i missed my chance. I've already read 3 of the 4 I have.
Have a new acronym to go with DND, NDY and NSY. TSS for The Stubbornly Stupid. And yes, inspired by our CF COVID-19 threads.
Had to turn off the public radio discussion and call-in with local health officials. Was pretty depressing. Hennepin County healthcare with their big fancy lab can't do testing and is waiting days to get results for remote locales. They have the facility and staff but cannot get the test or even all of the chemicals they need.

My 14yr old made one last run through the library yesterday, too. Her friends she hangs around with are all readers and a couple live within the neighborhood. They can drop books off at each other’s houses the next month or so and be just fine.
I have been telling my kids we are still on Spring Break this week so not worrying about anything “educational”. After that, our school has already said they will not be doing online learning. The HS math teacher my oldest has pretty much teaches through online videos, so he has asked their class to do 10min of math a day. The younger ones are easy to keep working on math and my kids read a lot anyway. I did tell my 8yr old maybe we would attempt to learn how to play piano (we just have a small keyboard for her to learn on). Hoping the oldest will go out with the younger 2 and work on throwing/catching/hitting.

Glad I stocked up on pajamas when they were on clearance after Christmas. I credit my inner sloth instincts for this foresight.
Think I need to go walkabout later. Sunny but after today weather is rainy gloomy ******. Already been eating too much out of boredom, mostly during evenings.
Need to do something constructive. Running out of excuses to avoid doing my taxes.

Oatmeal raisin cookies are, IMO, severely underrated and catch a lot of unnecessary grief.
I had DH get cinnamon raisin bagels yesterday on his Target run. I wonder where that craving came from.

Better not get arrested for anything, you may be sitting there an extra month.
Health food cookies. How can something with both oatmeal AND raisins be bad for you?
1) Need to stop checking the account off and on. It goes down when I look, up when I do other things and get busy.
2) You bastards rubbing it in about cinnamon raisin stuff (especially to somebody who is on a diet) are mean, just mean
3) @Cybirdy no online because the state isn't going to count it. Sounds like the wife will need to make up the days. I told here if the two youngest have to do online, its best for her to go in. We would have four people online doing classes and that would be a cluster.
