Lorelei and I decided on peanutbutter cookies today...they may be my favorites. Just soooo good.
I am trying to get up my nerve to make some yeast rolls again...it has been years since I made any. There is a recipe I have that calls for 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and the rolls with the potatoes are so good. I don't know what the potatoes do; you certainly can not taste them in any way. But the rolls are wonderful.
*****************
It was up to 12ºF the last I checked...and temps in the high 50's are headed this way. If 'they' are right. That will be such a drastic change. But I will enjoy it to the max.
I am making a shopping list. It is amazing how much stuff I suddenly need. LOL It has actually been 4 or 5 days since I have been to Walmart. We are usually there at least a couple times a week if not more. Seems like there will be a medicine to pick up or something to go there for. And I like to go and get all the bulky items at one time, then go back for regular shopping. LOL

I am currently reading Twenty Miles from a Match: Homesteading in Western Nevada by Sarah E. Olds.
Yum! I may have to make some of those cookies, but then I'll have them in the house!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of yeast rolls baking! Mother used to make peanut butter cookies. Mmm good.
ReplyDeleteWe have been out of school with the windchill temps, so I have also been making cookies. A great time of year for it!
ReplyDeleteI kind of had a hunch you & Lorelei would be baking cookies. That is one of the best Grandma memories ever!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look SOOO good. They make me want to try to make some myself.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look great! I rarely bake cookies we would eat them all! Thank you for the comment on my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm another who rereads favourite books especially in winter. Some books just seem like old friends!!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies do look good, and I LOVE peanut butter! We've got warmer days coming too...maybe even hitting 70 degrees! I also LOVE warm weather! Sure wish I loved reading enough to re-read books. I've been trying to finish the second Jan Karon Mitford Series book "A Light in the Window"...for a year! :(
ReplyDeleteI hit Walmart one day a week only. and I get upset if I need something and have to go back. I go armed with a list.... mother used to make those cookies and I ate them as they came off the pan, sometimes burning my lips. ha ha
ReplyDeleteI love the way cookies make the house smell so good. I know you both had a good time together.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying the book.
I am spoiled by living so close to WM. I go 2 or 3 times a week! lol
I have been off the computer since I last wrote to you. So many busy things going on. Now I have to catch up on reading the blogs.
ReplyDeleteI love HOMEMADE peanut butter cookies. It seems like I just grab a package of cookies from the frig section of the store and bake them. It's been forever since I made cookies from scratch. They built a Walmart 3/4 of a mile up the highway at the end of my road. We usually go there once a week, though in the summer is way more often than that. They call it a super store, but it's way smaller than the other Walmarts in this area. They are redoing the checkouts in our store. Putting in lots of self service registers. I know they make people mad, but the unemployment rate in our city is the lowest in the nation and they just can't get anyone to work at Walmart. The other day all the carts were in the parking lot. I complained to the manager on duty and he pretty much just said over his shoulder that he didn't have anyone to GET them. I was so mad I could have made a scene.
Our temps have been 50 for the last two days, but going back to the 30s this coming week. My yard is totally mud and dog poop I think.
