Fresh out of the oven
昨日まで天気が良くて、お昼は２つ目の露天風呂の工事で塗装は大分進めました。続きは今日にやりたかったけど雨になっちゃって、あきらめました。代わりに、雨の日と言えばクッキーを焼く日だ！
私の母親のレシピーでシアトルの味です。お客様のお茶菓子として出しております。夕方に着いたお客様に焼きたてのクッキーを上げたら、喜んで頂きました。｢このクッキーを売っていますか？｣と聞かれました。｢いいえ、泊まりに来ないと駄目です」と。｢お前、商売が上手だね｣と言われました。まあ、そのつもりじゃないですけど、ただ、クッキーは沢山を売ってしまえば、また焼かなきゃいけないです。そしてまた次の雨の日まで待つようになってしまい。。。

I was planning on more painting today, but it clouded up and started to rain. So, what is there to do on a rainy day? Bake cookies, of course!
My mother gave me a recipe for oatmeal cookies, and I bake them to give to our guests with their tea. Our guests this evening were fortunate -- their cookies came right out of the oven. One guest asked if we sell the cookies. I told him no, that they're only for people who come and stay with us. He said I was a clever businessman. I didn't intend it that way -- it's just if I sell a bunch, that means I have to make a bunch more. And that means waiting for another rainy day...
