Fact: I made cookies...

Peanut butter cookies. And the I put chocolate chips in them. Why? Because I wanted to feel like a genius...

...It worked!


When was the last time you swiped you finger through the cookie dough, and then grinned really big because it made you feel like a little kid again. Go ahead, try it.



Oh, yeah, because there's not enough sugar in the babies already you have to roll them in more sugar before you can cook them.

Don't forget to spuish them with a fork, it's the peanut butter signature.


Yum! Apologies for the terrible pictures. I blame it on the lighting.

If you need a recipe this is the one I used 'here'

So many people!

This is what my Saturday mornings look like...



Can you believe all the people that come to the Lincoln Hay Market?





Yes I took a picture of a radish tower.


This is our booth...


Fun. :)

Cookies!

My sister make the best chocolate chip cookies. I know every body thinks they have found the best ones, or they're still looking. But, these are seriously the best.


The only thing you have to decide is, do you like yours krispy or gooey?

Slightly adapted from 'Betty Crocker's Best of Baking'

1\2 cup granulated sugar
1\2 cup packed brown sugar
1\3 cup butter, softened
1\3 cup shortening
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1\2 heaping cups all-purpose-flour
1\2 teaspoon baking soda
1\2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugars, margarine, shortening, egg and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 4 minutes turn and bake for f4 more minutes (we like ours gooey.) Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Cool on flat clean surface.


Now if you'll excuse me I'm in need of some icy cold fresh milk. :D

Gardening...

Today I decided to get up early and weed my garden. What! Yes I weeded. My sadly neglected garden, looked more like a jungle really than a garden. I've been so busy lately, its been hard to find time to do a lot out side when it's not raining or too hot (my garden is full sun.) I got half of it done, though I would have liked to work on it longer it was time to milk.
As I was pulling the weeds up I noticed these tiny green spiders all over the place! Unfortunately I couldn't get the camera to focus on them so none of the pictures turned out. However I was able to look it up and I'm pretty sure this is what they are...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoplognatha_ovata

Here's my garden...







Why is there a bed in my garden?







Because it's going to look really cool when the Thunbergia I planted starts climbing on it, that's why.

Boo!

I got a kitty!

Some one was giving them away at the farmers market on Saturday. So I talked my mom into letting me get one. He's not very photogenic...

But he does have glowy green eyes.



We've named him Boo.

My sister has these coming in from the garden...








So I made this...


Yummy!
