Title: It's beginning to look...
Post by: Pat B on December 21, 2010, 02:40:54 pm
...a lot like Christmas around our house. Tree is up and well decorated by my wife Marcia and I spent the morning making our special "full meal deal" cookies, 120 of them to start with. These goodies have whole wheat flour, oatmeal, brown sugar and honey, eggs, dark chocolate chips, raisins and shreaded coconut along with a few other needed ingredients.
 Best of all our daughter Meredith will be flying in from Houston in a few hours and I think we are going to have a white Christmas too. They are calling for the snow to start Friday evening and go through Christmas day and maybe into Sunday.
  The wood pile is full, the pantry stocked, plenty of Holiday spirit and spirits so...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!  8)
  Merry Christmas to all and I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.   In the words of out illustrious Pappy...Life is Good!!!  ;D

...unless they're shopping.  Man, does that bring out the worst in people. ::)

Those cookies sure look good.  But the real question is...how good was the dough?  The best cookies for me never make it to the cookie sheet. ;D  That looks like it would have been goooood cookie dough.  :)

Merry Christmas all.
