Well, you've read the notes, the notes inherited cookies even though this here site doesn't use cookies, and now it is time for you to post until the inherited cows come home - they inherited some COWkies.

So, yesterday after I left my mom's, I decided to give the brand new Hawk's Prairie area (in Lacey) Chick-fil-A a try.  The two drive-thru lines were each several cars deep, but I didn't think it would take too long.  I figure that I was in line for about 10 minutes total.  Anyway, I got the deluxe chicken sandwich and a diet Coke, and...I wasn't impressed.  It was just okay...nothing special about it at all.  You'd think that a drive-thru line would keep all the food fresh, but what I got wasn't very warm and tasted just like any other bland breaded chicken patty sandwich.  It wasn't bad, but I can't imagine that I will ever go back...even if I'm in the area.  Just my 2¢.

And now, I'm off to bed.  Today, I might go in to work for a bit, or I might not.  We'll see how I feel about it.  Otherwise, I have no plans. :)

Have a good day, all!

Peanut Butter Blossoms, a traditional peanut butter cookie with a Hershey's kiss planted in the middle, are always a favorite. I don't know that they're really a holiday cookie, but we always made them at Christmas, so to me, they are.

At approximately 5:25 in the a.m. I awoke from the single most disgusting Filthy Bathroom Dream ever. It wasn’t my bathroom. The whole thing was quite surreal. But it was “this close” to being a full fledged nightmare. So mine gets a thorough cleaning today.

(It even included litter boxes. Ours is in the laundry room, but that part derived from a small mess Mikey inadvertently left for me yesterday. There’s no rest for the wicked.)

Peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and macadamia nut.

In an earlier life I would have started the list with chocolate chip. Now I generally find them cloying, and anything with chocolate is just an occasional exception. I was all over those warm gooey things from Mrs. Fields or David’s back in the day, but not any more.

I would certainly try that corn thing BK describes, but the confetti one wouldn’t appeal.
Title: Re: INHERITED COOKIES
Post by: ChasSmith on December 12, 2020, 06:32:44 AM
The Girl Scouts’ Thin Mints are another occasional favorite, but it’s because of the mint-chocolate combination. I also like the Oreos mint ones for the same reason.

We’re once again being blessed with some more unseasonably warm-ish weather. I think there’s going to be some rain today, but tomorrow’s supposed to be clear and up around 60, and I hope to get a little more outdoors work done.

Indoor work today, though. Have I mentioned I will be cleaning my bathroom?

I enjoyed "The Prom" on Netflix, but, remember, my expectations are very low these days.  I'm not sure I would have paid the money to see it live in New York and I don't think it would appeal to Richard.  My favorite number was the midwestern high school principal singing about how much it means to him to see live theatre in NYC.

The tree topper needs to be redone. You can hardly tell with those lights there, but it's a Doctor Who Weeping Angel. She needs to be lowered a bit, and we'll get rid of those lights which don't help any.

I have a vintage 1960 aluminum tree that we put up a couple of times in the early aughts. When baby Poe turned out to be an eater of the aluminum "needles", we had to keep it put away for his safety and well being. Now that he's gone, we half thought about putting it up this year, but didn't really have a place ready for it because we still like to have a real one. I think we'll plan on it next year. It's about a five-footer, and I've even got the turning base and color wheel.

I bought that tree on eBay back when those were becoming the latest hot retro thing. It's nice that it turned out to be a 1960 one, simply because that's the year we'd just moved to Florida and we had a small silver one for a few years.

Our best cat ever was Gaia who had the most wonderful temperament and was practically an angel, except for her first Christmas.

For my 19th birthday I insisted we get me a Christmas tree, something Keith did not want to do having never had one before.  We purchased one of those store trees on a wooden cross that tip over easily?  We decorated with lights and inexpensive red and green tree balls. 

Every time I returned home the tree was on the floor and more decorations had broken :))  Since then we have never put lights on a tree.  Our trees also went into proper stands that could hold a climbing cat, not that we ever had a major issue again.  Just the batting at the non-breakable decorations at the bottom of the tree.

Watched act one of the opera The Birds - interesting production and the music is incredible.  Now listening to the von Karajan Madama Butterfly with Mirella Freni and Pavarotti.  This was my first Butterfly.  I'm pretty sure it was Butterfly that I saw at least some of back in grammar school on a field trip - it's a vague memory but one I haven't forgotten.  Might have been junior high, too, but I seem to remember being much younger.  Anyway, I've always loved this recording, which I bought on LP in 1974.  I also love the Leontyne Price that's on RCA SACD conducted by Leinsdorf, just because of that early stereo sound - but this is still superb after all this years and the Vienna Phil is incredible.  This is a remastering of the original CD release that I really didn't like the sound of at all - here, they've fixed all of it and it's fantastic.  And this comes with a Blu-ray Audio disc two, so that should sound even better.  Some of these Decca Blu-ray Audio things come so beautifully packaged - no jewel cases - more like a Big Little Book, for those who remember.   Eventually, I'm going to get as many of these as I can because once they're gone the prices are going to sky rocket.

A friend of Mom's dropped by the ingredients for a homemade door wreath. Mom couldn't really do things because the wires needed precise finger work and her arthritis would let her. So, she supervised, and I created something that is holding together -- for now. We'll see how often I have to revisit it. Attaching pine cones was a chore. The ribbon wasn't long enough for a bow. They like adding magnolia leaves here. It's a Southern thing, I guess.

Hopefully, I can watch The Prom at my sister's at some point.  She has Netflix and I don't.

How many viewers does she have it for? If it's more than 1 then you could sign into her account from your house. My sister and I are sharing netflix right now. She has 4 people that can view.

That was the other option, which is what I might do.  I didn't go over there today and I'm actually volunteering at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts tomorrow (I don't know what's happening...probably just an open house or something like that), so I don't know when I'll actually get to see it.

Okay kids, here it is.

The tree topper needs to be redone. You can hardly tell with those lights there, but it's a Doctor Who Weeping Angel. She needs to be lowered a bit, and we'll get rid of those lights which don't help any.

PS--excuse our mess.

That's pretty cool about the Weeping Angel tree toper!  I'd read that the new Doctor Who season is going to feature the Weeping Angels again (https://winteriscoming.net/2020/12/10/doctor-who-season-13-weeping-angels-return-john-barrowman-jack-harkness/).

Watched our show.  Not my cuppa for most of the playlets and the order should have been switched up for sure.  Ours is the closer, which is a good way to leave them.  Ours is really the only one that looks like it had any film thought behind it - the others are all just random angles and shooting it start to finish and just moving cameras around, which means film language becomes moot.  And that kills a lot of things.  Many of them sound completely dead, audio-wise, because they didn't do what we did - which you HAVE to do - record room tone - a minute of it - and then that gets laid over every shot and gives the sound some presence and space.  It's all directing 101 but none of these folks have directed for the camera outside of these online Group Rep things.  I was very happy with ours - we did do an additional bit of work on the final shot that put some magic into it, but alas they'd already assembled the show and couldn't use it.  At some point, I may be able to link you to just our playlet but that can't happen until after the first of the year.

I do not like to make cookies. Too much work. I don't even like to make chocolate chips cookies, which I know are easy. But all that spooning and spacing and babysitting. No. I make my tart and cut it cup in small pieces, if I need something bar cookie like.

I would think cookies are easier to make than tarts.  I also find making chocolate chip cookies oddly boring even though I like my recipe.

I love peanut butter cookies and I don't think I've ever had a bad one.

I'm with you. Even ones that were slightly burnt ended up in my belly.

I prefer them well done.  As with all things I am somewhat choosy about which ones I prefer.

A friend of Mom's dropped by the ingredients for a homemade door wreath. Mom couldn't really do things because the wires needed precise finger work and her arthritis would let her. So, she supervised, and I created something that is holding together -- for now. We'll see how often I have to revisit it. Attaching pine cones was a chore. The ribbon wasn't long enough for a bow. They like adding magnolia leaves here. It's a Southern thing, I guess.

Will there be a photo?
