Five!

[John G.]

What I have, too, is a job interview in the morning.

[John G.]

I still don't know if I would leave my company, which just went through a major shakeup today. My area was not affected, but areas all around me were. This is the second such shuffle this year. And I could see more happening. But, as my bosses on the three levels up said to us: If we just do our jobs, then we'll be helping everybody because they can worry about other things.

My grandmother used to make what she called almond crescents...I think they are The same thing as Russian tea cakes

Very buttery cookies with almonds and then when they came out of the oven they were rolled in confectionary sugar while hot

[vixmom]

My most favorite cookies ever

Yes. They are just about the same. Mom, since she was in the South, used pecans. Only difference.

Thank you, ma'am.

you're right, I forgot, they were pecans, it's been so many years

At Hamilton, I think, they had amazing sugar cookies in the hash lines.

[Jane]

Yes DR JANE.....it's a very personal decision as you say.

MOST people have the re connection surgery when they have the colonectomy but it was not possible when I had mine.

I will take what I have....I'm alive...anyway.....

And I am very thankful for that.

[Jane]

Had a quite good second Kritzerland rehearsal.  And then a wonderful supper with Peyton and mom.  We've got a very big project for Peyton next February - a straight play that I'll be directing for the Group Rep, written by Doug.  A huge role and not an easy one.

It sounds exciting.

[Jane]

Mom's cookbook is more about cookies than anything, and there are some beauties in there: Chocolate Surprise Cookies, Springerle, cinnamon stars, Russian tea cakes (aka Mexican wedding cookies), lemon bars, limoncello bars, Spritz (and I don't like Mom's; hers are rather like Play-doh). I'm glad on a certain level that I wasn't in the country for Christmas, because this was the first year Mom didn't send a package of cookies. I think her baking days have come to an end.

Thanks for reminding me about Mexican wedding cakes, without nuts for me.

[Jane]

Meringue cookies with little chocolate chips.

[Jane]

I really like to take two oversized cookies, preferably chocolate-chocolate chip, and turn them into ice cream sandwiches. Roll the edges in some chopped nuts, Reese's pieces, coconut or cherries and then refreeze for about 15 minutes.

Yummy.

I have a recipe for chocolate cookies which make yummy ice cream sandwiches.

[Jane]

Is it a wonder I have diabetes?

And why I might end up with it.

[Jane]

What I have, too, is a job interview in the morning.

Fingers crossed it goes well.

[Jane]

Biscotti maked with Courvoisier and toasted slivered almonds.

[Jane]

Chocolate chip cookies.

[Jane]

Back to store bought, mustn't forget the delicious and hard to find Malomars.

[Jane]

'Nilla Wafers.

[Jane]

At Hamilton, I think, they had amazing sugar cookies in the hash lines.

I must not have purchased those. 

[Jane]

That reminds me of butter cookies.

[Jane]

I am very proud of myself for not eating a cookies today.

Are you sure they weren't with almonds?  Mexican wedding cakes are round and, as far as I remember, don't have almond extract.  Almost the same except for the shape and almonds.

I wish now I was up and could look at my recipe.
