Celebrating the Fourth with Lemon Cookies!

Things at work are improving (not that they were ever bad, aside from a sometimes-grumpy coworker). I'm getting the hang of the register and working efficiently. I used to be really impressed by the speed and skill with which tailors and cloth-sellers in india handled cloth, but now I realize that it takes about a week to get pretty good at doing just one thing, and a few weeks to get really fast. I don't really need to think when I work, I just need to pay attention. I guess (and hope) that that's the difference between a real expert like a doctor and a tailor. Although there's not as much of a difference as I once thought - depending on how you look at it, one is just a more complicated skill than the other.

But a good thing that's come out of work is that i now possess the recipe to the amazing lemon cookies we sell. I tried my hand at making them, and they're good, but still not as loose/light as the ones we sell. I have some more dough that I'll bake from frozen (rather than from room temperature) tomorrow for our family bbq. I followed the recipe otherwise, so hopefully that'll make the difference. Pictures from tomorrow...today's are all gone :)

Pulkit's coming to a family event tomorrow for the first time! Took 4 years but we're making progress :)
