MILLION DOLLAR COOKIES

I just saw this recipe on Leno. The woman Carolyn Gurtz entered the Pillsbury Baking Contest and won a Million Dollars with this recipe.

DOUBLE DELIGHT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

1/4 cup Fisher® Dry Roasted Peanuts, finely chopped

1/4 cup Domino® or C&H® Granulated Sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup JIF® Creamy Peanut Butter

1/2 cup Domino® or C&H® Confectioners Powdered Sugar



1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® Create ‘n Bake® refrigerated peanut butter cookies, well chilled






DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix chopped peanuts, granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

2. In another small bowl, stir peanut butter and powdered sugar until completely blended. Shape mixture into 24 (1-inch) balls.

3. Cut roll of cookie dough into 12 slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise to make 24 pieces; flatten slightly. Shape 1 cookie dough piece around 1 peanut butter ball, covering completely. Repeat with remaining dough and balls.

4. Roll each covered ball in peanut mixture; gently pat mixture completely onto balls. On un greased large cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Spray bottom of drinking glass with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray; press into remaining peanut mixture. Flatten each ball to 1/2-inch thickness with bottom of glass. Sprinkle any remaining peanut mixture evenly on tops of cookies; gently press into dough.

5. Bake 7 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Store tightly covered.


I thought I would post this recipe so my sweet daughter Kelly "Crocker" might bake some and bring a few to her poor, pitiful underfed Daddy!! LOL I bet he would buy the ingredients even.

Redneck Cast Removal!!

It was past time for Amanda's cast to come off and she was ready. She was going to have to make a trip to Corinth for this. Chase went to her house and they attempted to cut it off but all they did was mangle it some. Robert said he could get it off but she would have to be sure and get permission from her parents. He thought he could do it with a pair of Cutco Scissors we had but part of the cast was too thick. So he sent Chase and Amanda to Lowes for a Hacksaw, which they could not find and they come back with a dry wall saw. It worked like a charm. We had a yard stick that was metal and I suggested they slide it inside the cast to protect her arm from the saw. I really did not want to call her Mom and tell her we were on the way to the ER to get stitches. It went very well with Kelly assisting. After we got it off she said it was still a little sore and stiff. We wrapped an ACE bandage around it to keep her from moving it!! That sounds strange we just took a Cast Off!! The doc told her a week ago it was healing nicely. It will probably be sore and weak for a while. Amanda did very well and did not faint. She is a really sweet girl and we look forward to seeing her.

Motorcycle SOLD!

Chase had his motorcycle for sale. It sold within a week from the time he put a For Sale sign on it. It was a good deal. It was just like new. He had out grown it long ago, but had issues with parting with it. He finally decided he needed the $1100.00 more than the motorcycle. He is going to put some of the money in savings and use the rest to fix up his car. He is a pretty good kid. He is home when he is suppose to be and has not gotten mixed up in drugs and alcohol. He loves playing his guitar and hangin with friends. This is his senior year and he is in the group "Wired" at HCHS and he is so excited. I can't believe he is a senior already. As for the #13 Chase has always thought of that as a lucky number. It was the number Robert wore on his jersey when he played Basketball when he was a kid!!

It's Friday! My, How time flies!!

Well, it is Friday and this week went way smoother than last. Thank you Lord. The emailing situation is resolved... Thank You Andrea!!



We have an appointment for Chase Monday at HMC for another Hyda-scan. (yes he will be late for his first day of school as a senior!!!) This will make three in two years. I believe he is having gall bladder trouble. I am familiar with this due to myself and Kelly have had gall bladder removals and it took away our pain. Chase is dealing with the same stuff.. One hyda-scan showed his gall bladder was NOT working right and the last one said it WAS.. sooo. I am at a loss for what to do if this one comes back OK?? We have done all the test that you can imagine that has anything to do with his digestive system. All came back fine. He gets nauseated and hurts in his right shoulder and neck after he eats a fatty or greasy meal. He has gotten sick a few times. Keep us in your prayers for these test results!!

Great Hairbows on A Perfect Baby!!!

Kelly found these hair bows for Addie when she had almost no hair(she still don't have much). They call them for "Near Baldies" and they really stay in. I don't know how, but they do. To read more about them here is the link to Kelly's Blog that tells about them and there you will find the link for the Hair bows!! Kellys' Blog about the Hair bows!! This is one of the Hair bows in this picture!! My sweet little Tootie really makes this hair bow look good!!! They look good anyway, but I am partial. Can you Tell???? Lord what a precious child. I just want to pinch her little cheeks :-]

A GREAT COMPANY!!!

United Country is the best company. We have been having trouble with our email, being flagged as spam through Charter. A couple of calls to the home office and they have worked on it and got the problem solved. We are so lucky to have such a great group of folks working so hard for us in Kansas City. They are all appreciated very much!!!

Computers and a Crazy Week!!

I am so thankful for this weekend. This has been a crazy week at the office. We have been on the phone with Charter with email problems. They said it was not them, so we get on the phone with Microsoft for 3 hours. They said it was not them. So we do some test on Robert's computer it turns out it is not his computer. Sooo we get back on the phone with Charter 3 different times. Finally the last time Andrea(bless her heart)who is dealing with this (after 3 or 4 days of me dealing with it I was just about to go over the edge so she took it over)She finally got someone on the phone from Charter that actually knew what they were doing. Guess what IT WAS CHARTER AFTER ALL!!! Well it is fixed "sorta" and we will have to deal. It is so frustrating for people to keep passing blame. Several times we got on the phone and was sent from one person to another and then after about an hour we somehow got cut off! HUH Go figure that! Do you think it was an accident?? I don't. I think if you are being difficult some of them will just hang up on you!! The thing is you can't get back to that one person!! Well it is over now and maybe Monday will be better. It is a wonderful life and I am blessed. I went by and seen my Tootie after work Friday and she made everything better!!! She is my sweetie Pie!! Love ya Tootie!!
