Cookies, who needs them?

I think cookies are the ultimate 'comfort' food....they go with most beverages, milk, tea, coffee, water, wine, and yes maybe even some special drinks...like amaretto and shortbread, irish bailey's cream and peanut butter. But there's really nothing like a glass of cold milk and a few choice homemade cookies...oatmeal raisin with walnuts. It's the perfect breakfast. (if you are not watching your calories)

Speaking of calories, have you ever spent hours at the grocery store looking at the millons of choices of cookies boxes, searching for that tasty treat that is under 100 calories for 3? Well if you haven't done such a search, I have, and I can tell you it doesn't exist.

I am sharing my two favorite holiday cookies, from my mother's drawer of recipes. Straight out of 1950 Pillsbury Best...

Tis the Season!

Wow, it's already December! No blogging for 4 months- where does the time go?
It's friggin Christmas again! Time for the Fish Feast, A Italian Christmas Day Feast (Braciole?), and
hopefully the Truckee Tamale Feast! Feast for all and for all a good holiday!

It's also a time for frantic crocheting and knitting...finishing up those projects that I started last January, or maybe the January before...I can't remember. I tried to crochet a moccasin the other day and it turned out horrible, maybe I'll just toss it in the garbage ala Joan Henry.  I felted Kasey and Meggy some holiday neck warmers...

More to come! I have some down time finally so I can concentrate on my two favorite things - Cooking and Fiber Arts! Michelle is coming tomorrow and we are going to start the preparation for the Fish Feast....but first a few batches of our favorite cookies...
