| Olive Oil-Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies |
Daughter has started baking for Sunday's tea party. Due to the dietary restrictions of one friend, she is trying out new recipes using olive oil instead of butter and lactose-free milk instead of regular milk.
She baked a dozen olive oil-dark chocolate chip cookies (no nuts as her friend can't eat nuts) and we sampled one. I thought it tasted delicious and I couldn't tell any difference in taste from a cookie made with butter. Then, again, it's been a long time since I've had a homemade chocolate chip cookie! We gave one to M to taste test, too, and he thought they were very good.

| Olive Oil Scones |
Daughter also baked a batch of scones using olive oil instead of butter and they turned out well, too. These will be served with some jam.

| Chai Muffins |
Daughter also baked a batch of chai muffins. We sampled one and it, too, was delicious. The chai tea gives it a lovely taste of spices.
The final item to be baked is the Earl Grey tea cake, but, that's on the list of activities for Saturday.
There was some rain in the morning, but, it cleared up by the time I had to go for a fasting blood test. Later in the afternoon, daughter and I went to the dollar store and I bought a few items I wanted, including a large grid wall calendar for 2026, some solid air fresheners for the bathrooms, a couple of frozen burritos and some ice cream bars. We shared one of the burritos for brunch, followed by an ice cream bar. Then, we put away some laundry, daughter did her baking, we both tidied the family room a bit, and chatted with M when he came to tend to the garden. I made macaroni and cheese with canned chicken and frozen green peas added to it for dinner.
On Friday, I am grateful for:
- The rain for the garden
- Medical insurance
- Access to medical services, including screening tests
- Safe drives to the clinic and the stores
- M's help with the garden

Friday's joyful activity was knitting (and sampling some of daughter's baked goods!)
Plans for Saturday include cleaning the house.
How was your Friday? What are your plans for the weekend?
