Blogger Is Being An Ass Today!...
There's places I can't get to and sometimes Blogger just bombs out on me after waiting for a lifetime it seems. So I'll try to make the rounds sometime this weekend. You all have a nice weekend just the same. If I don't make it back on...I'll be in Santa Barbara on Sunday with Dusty giving them hell...as best as we are able to that is. Look for the baglady with 3' long blonde hair kicking some cop in the nuts if he gives me any crap. (just kiddin') Here's a nice cookie recipe for you to try for Christmas if you are so inclined...the Fallenmonk seems to cook alot...maybe he'll like to try them.
Frosted Cashew Cookies
Ingredients:
sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry
ingredients; add alternately with sour cream
to creamed mixture. Stir in cashews. Drop by
tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly
browned. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting,
lightly brown butter in a small saucepan.
Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Add
cream and vanilla. Beat in confectioners' sugar
until smooth and thick. Frost cookies; top each
with a cashew half if desired. Yield: about 5 dozen.

Careful of those cop pops, we want to read your blog next week. But, if you just have to, you can take a paper bag of d. poop , set on my Republican brother's doorstep, light it, ring the bell and run like hell. But, maybe that's an act of terrorism. ---never mind. Have fun.

Sweet Jesus! Coffee being my number one addiction, and coupling that nectar of gods with the sinfully delicious looking cookies, the picture naturally makes me to salivate profusely. However, if I make the mistake of still having them tonight, I will not sleep a wink. You make me to wait for tomorrow and I hate you for that!

Looks a little like snickerdoodles with an attitude but I am game. Got the recipe and will give it a run. Hell, I would pretty much eat anything with cashews.

hells yeah! i want to see you on the 6 o'clock news, hun!
i'm at the point where i think that the environment is one of the most pressing needs we have. i've come to the conclusion that in local politics we should just completely obliterate the alaskan way viaduct, make it a well treed park and fuck building it again. they did something like this in thailand and the horrible congestion that was plagueing that bridge just "magically" disappeared.
