1) Worked on my labels today.

3) Ordered inkjet label samples from onlinelabels.com
4) Now just sipping on some Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon.
 
Today I went to my fibre arts group, where mostly people crochet, I was knitting a cowl today with acrylic even though the temperature was 32 degrees outside - hot, hot hot.
 
I taught my first class over the internet today. The students were in good spirits, but are not looking forward to an extended period of time at home. As oceanography and marine biology graduate students, most were just starting to turn their attention to getting ready for a very active season of field studies of the local estuaries and marshes or experiments in the lab.
 
Cleaned out the old part of garden (still need to till another part) and got more compost to fill in new section plus a light topcoat for the old garden.
Temps were Mid 50º so super nice out and SUNNY !
 
Making stock for chicken soup

@Misschief I'm jealous - those buns look so good! I have been trying to buy flour for weeks and there is none to be had anywhere around here (not that I've been out looking too many places, but still). No yeast either. Even Amazon and King Arthur are sold out online.
 
Buns are out of the oven and a Lazy Daisy Cake is in there now. I figured we need a sweet treat right about now. We'll have the buns with a bowl of Dutch Pea Soup for dinner with cake for dessert.

You are making me want to get my bread machine out of storage. Lol. Problem is I would just sit and eat it all as soon as it was done...with lots of yummy butter...:D

I always have yeast in the freezer; I buy it in a 2 lb package in my local bulk store. When my husband went shopping today (we needed to do a little stocking up), he found flour in the grocery store and, later, when he went to Costco, he said they had plenty. Rice, however, was nowhere to be found. (We do have a fairly large Asian community here.)
 
What is Lazy Daisy Cake?
It's a hot milk cake (mix up the eggs and sugar, add the dry ingredients, then add hot milk and melted butter to the batter) topped with a mix of coconut, brown sugar, butter, and milk mixed together and heated until the brown sugar is melted. Then it's broiled until golden. It's an old recipe, from the 1940's apparently.
