Clocks and socks and lacy cookies

Last night I finished the last sock of the current batch, today steam pressed them. Tomorrow I'll ship them.

Then I'll pick colors for the next ones. 

Then I experimented, in the absence of flour, which is on my shopping list, to see if I could make something for Tuesday's dessert.

I ended up grinding oatmeal and almonds, and adding a little bit of whole-wheat flour, only had a bit, sugar, butter, made a small batch of cookies.

These were originally slightly flattened fat disks, with half a date pressed into each.

As you see, they became lacy doilies. Once cooled, you can pick them up. Interesting experiment. The gap is the bit the cook sampled. 

Still wondering what time it is. Some of my clocks need to be changed, then there are the ones that changed themselves. I'd like us to just leave it alone.
