Things I Learned This Week

By -

*I can bake awesome chocolate chip cookies this way:
Buy Nestle premade cookie dough
Add flour to the pre made dough
Bake them beauties up and they won't flatten out.
They look homemade and they taste even better.

*No amount of Memory loss is normal when aging.
I learned this in the book Making Rounds With Oscar.
It made me sad for a certain beloved relative.

*I tasted a Korean tea : green tea and brown rice.
I may have imagined it, but I swear I could smell the carbs or
starch from the brown rice.

*Mole is good on tortilla chips.

*My new camera continues to take pictures just how I want them to come out.
Thanks Zach for helping out !

*and finally,
odds are good that the Russian Space Debris won't hit any of us or our knitting this weekend.!

Heads up friend!

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Speaking of tortilla chips, I learned that the lime flavored ones are yummy!! I had never tried them before and now I'm craving them. Also craving chocolate chip cookies after reading your post--thank you very much. LOL

Nice snow pictures, Kathy! Lace weight yarn is scary, I agree! Definitely not relaxing at least IMHO. Time to head off to the grocery story; your post made me hungry. LOL

I've never thought of adding flour to the cookie dough. It's a brilliant idea!

I think I haven't had good mole sauce. I can't imagine I wouldn't love it... but I haven't liked what I have tried. Where do you get yours?

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
