PROCRASTIBAKER …WHAAAAAAT?

Or….Really ?
I never heard of a procrastibaker till last week.    Have you?

One of my favorite parts of my favorite paper is Wednesday’s FOOD section.  Recently it ran an  article named   “But First  I’ll Bake” and there  it was  “procrastibaking”.  According to the Times”it is  the practice of baking something completely unnecessary with the intention of avoiding real work.” 

Now, not only have I never heard  “procrastibaker”, but was totally surprised at the number of people that not only knew about this technique, but were main-line practitioners.    Plus it’s  even on Instagram…check out #procrastibaking.  I’m  a really good procrastinator at avoiding something that I really do want to do, but not now or  really have to do, but not now.  And I can sharpen pencils with the best of them, however,  my all time favorite procrastinating method is taking a nap.  Baking never entered my mind.

So you understand, I’m not a very good cook. In fact, I don’t cook except occasionally when I make  soup from a rotisserie chicken.  I used  to be a  pretty good baker, but the  only thing I bake nowadays are my sugar   cookies with my grandchildren.

So the moral of this short post….learn something  new  everyday and if you’re going to put something off?  Skip the nap, bake a cookie!

Milk with your cookies – or bourbon on the rocks?

I knew when I started my blog I wanted to reach out to seniors like myself. I wanted to share my stories and even be a bit of a tour guide on what I’ve learned and the fun I’ve had at famous and not so famous New York places.
