Two years ago I became a grandmother. One of the best days of my life!
I think I am being pretty restrained, here are her gifts. I finished the sweater last weekend in Tahoe.
She is spending the day in Disneyland with her daddy (who is deploying to Afghanistan soon) and my daughter, her mommy. Hopefully she is better today after being seen in the ER with an allergic reaction apparently to Japanese food. My daughter said 15 minutes after they gave her Benadryl and something else (probably a steroid), who face swelling went down considerably. She was having croupy sounding breathing too. Very scary. They missed their breakfast with Minnie and Mickey.
Also Campfrugal asked for the recipe and here it is:
PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. peanutbutter (smooth)
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. Hershey Kisses
Mix all ingredients together except for Kisses. Drop by spoonful, shape into ball, roll in sugar.
Bake at 375 degrees 10 to 12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Remove from oven. Press Kiss on cookie and let cool.
I generally double the recipe and use dark chocolate kisses. I don't roll in sugar, and I usually put back into the oven to let the kisses melt a little bit. I also use butter instead of shortening.
Happy August 18th!
She is 2 today!

And, yeah, today is baking day. I will be making those cookies, along with spagetti sauce to put up in the freezer.

I read your comment on CeeJays cell phone costs. You might look into Metro PCS. They are in our area - $40/mo unlimited talk/text. One of the gals I work with has it and likes it.
