My friends and I have been talking about having a Soup Swap similar to a Cookie Swap. We don’t have the details ironed out for it so if anyone has participated in a Soup Swap, let me know. We welcome your input. Talking about the Soup Swap and Cookie Swaps put me in the mind […]
I’ve been weaving a lot lately. At Thanksgiving I made a lattice-topped apple pie. Last night I went to a weaving class with my mother. And, tonight I wove some gingerbread cookies This recipe is adapted from PureWow. Mine didn’t exactly come out looking like the original ones I found online, but I liked the […]
After yesterday’s cornbread “cake” I decided to give this Taste of the South cookbook one more try and I made some Pecan Sandie Praline Bars. They looked tasty in the photo and I had all the ingredients so I thought they would make a good accompaniment to my potato soup. The soup was pretty basic using potatoes, onions, […]
If you didn’t read the Ketchup and Mustard post, you completely missed out on my aromatic mustard kitchen. I mentioned that the fumes were quite intense. I can see why mustard gas during WWI was effective. Wow! I also reported that we made late night brownies to replace the odor with something more pleasant. It […]
My two favorite treats are ice cream and cookies so it’s pretty obvious how much I like this recipe. My most vivid memory of ice cream sandwiches goes back to my high school days. Those of you reading along who went to Headland can verify my story. Back in the day we had three serving lines […]
That is the correct order. I like cookies the best, cakes next, and pies will do if cookies aren’t available unless the pie comes from Hartville Kitchens in Ohio then pie slides into the top spot. Since I am not currently in Ohio, cookies top the list. Doughnuts are in a category by themselves. Yum! […]
I first made these cookies for Davis’ Pioneer Day Celebration. Nothing like dressing up in overalls and dragging around a stick horse for a day and getting shaved with popsicle sticks and shaving cream at the Ole Barber Pole. Throw in a “gold poke” and some vittles and you can call it a grand celebration. I […]
When I first moved to Peachtree City 25 years ago, I was active as a volunteer with our church youth group. We decided to have a garage sale as a fundraiser and it just happened to be held at my house. Garage sales are easy when everyone else brings over their discards and you have 20 teens […]
I came home today to see this in my backyard. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? If you’re thinking squirrel birthday party, then you would be correct. (Sorry, Davis. It’s not a clown drone stuck in our tree.) I thought she might like some Almond Shortbread Cookies since squirrels like nuts. I […]
With my not-so-subtle attempt at clever serving pieces, you can probably guess what movie we went to see. I first went to the theater on Friday to see Jurassic World with the two friends whom I have known the longest, Terri and Nancy. We met in the third grade and have been the best of friends ever […]
