PART A:
My FAVORITE Christmas/Holiday Cookie Recipe would be a recipe I found off of Allrecipes
several years ago...and that would be... (I try to make some soon and post a pic)
BEST EVER SOFT GINGERSNAP COOKIES
1 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon*
2 teaspoons cloves*
2 teaspoons ginger*

Cream together butter, sugar, and molasses. Add eggs and mix again. Add the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Roll into small balls and then roll in sugar. Bake at 375*F for 10-12 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen.

*Can add more to your desired taste

These are great dipped in white almond bark!


PART B:
I have two memories...One memory I have is about those cookies above...When we lived up in WA I made goodie bags for everyone that worked with my dh...one of the things I put in the bag was those cookies. Our friend, Jesse, liked them and I can't remember if he asked for more and I made them a bag full or exactly what...but I remember that somehow Jesse got more...he and Adrienne car pooled to work together and one evening they got stuck in traffic. Adrienne was really hungry and happen to have received a batch of my cookies that day...Mr. Jesse didn't even have a chance...Adrienne ate them all!!! LOL!!!

A FAVORITE Christmas baking memory is when we were living in our RV for a time, and came back to TX while dh had to work in AZ (or was it WA? LOL!!!) We stayed in our RV down the road from some dear friends (the one's I wrote about the other day in Houston). My friend, M, and I decided we would have a baking day. It was SO much fun...we made sure we made lots of cookies and I took lots of pictures! I even threw flour on everyone to make it look like we were hard at work (you know like the old Rice Krispies Treat commercial)

PART C:
A Verse...

Psalm 34:8
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Frustrated...

I've been trying to change my template...that's not a problem...figuring out how to save my widgets are...everytime I go to change the template and save the widgets I get some weird code...~C you out there to help me? :) anyone??? I want a nice Christmas template...not that I don't like this one, but it's time to move into the Christmas season...or at least a party mode-since my bday is getting closer...

Pizza...it's what for Dinner...um Lunch...um Breakfast...

Last night dh and I along with dd#2 and ds went over to see some old friends. Dh has known this couple since before I even knew him. They are a wonderful Christian couple. They've been married for 25+ years, but have never had any children. Anyhow...so we asked them if they would like to go out for dinner...they said they really would rather have us come over and have some pizza. No problem, my kids love pizza and then we can hang out and visit instead of feeling rushed. When we got there, the pizza had already been ordered. I walked into the kitchen and T is pulling pizza out of the oven. Not one pizza, but two, three, four, five, six, seven...SEVEN PIZZAS....LOL!!!! There was the four of us and the two of them...seven pizzas???? Who was gonna eat all that??? I called dh in the kitchen and he asked, "T, good grief...why'd you order so much?" LOL... Her response was something like, "Well, I didn't know if St (#1dd) was gonna be with you guys or not and then everyone likes different pizzas...I got a couple pepperoni pizzas, and then a couple combos, a couple other kinds...we need a varation." After we finished eating...I went into the kitchen to tidy up a bit...there was four and a half pizzas left over...LOL...they tried to send some home with us...the kids took a pepperoni...so I figure T and J will be eating pizza for a while. :P
