Gonna bake some homemade oatmeal and some chocolate chip cookies today!

I haven't baked homemade cookies since I was a teenager, believe it or not. I'm just not a cookie woman but I got the taste for and the mood for cookies all the sudden so today the house will smell marvelous and I can give away some cookies tomorrow to the fam. IF they survive my taste testing for quality assurance, of course......

Think I'll do some chicken soup while I'm at it...it's just that kind of a day.

Hope you all are warm, well fed and joyful for this holiday season...stay safe and give love in abundance!

And to all.....my wish for your holiday season and for the coming year!

“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’ Numbers 6:24-26

Right back at you Bee!

Last week I made what I call "Kitchen Sink" cookies......chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, toffee chips and toasted pecans in a toll house type cookie that uses white whole wheat flour(that makes them healthy

). I also made chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, and and chocolate fudge with black walnuts. I also made divinity peanut butter roll candy. I take all of this stuff and make plates, platters, etc to give as gifts. So many people don't make that kind of stuff anymore, so I do that instead of buying gifts. I think I made about 200 cookies and 20 pounds of candy/fudge!!

I made chicken and dumplings tonight with the smallest of those Red Ranger hens that I processed Thursday, one pot for my daughter to take to her potluck tonight and another pot for the rest of us for supper. Since Gilbird was a capon slip and didn't have much testicular regeneration, I am gonna roast him later......he's in the freezer.

Shellz, I have been shooting a longbow for ten years and I still stink. Never put in any hardcore practice though, just shot now and again. Back when I shot every day I could hit the target pretty well at 30 yards. Not so much anymore.

Today is insanely busy for me. I am making Christmas cookies for all my friends! This is my cheap, if strenuous, way to give a present to all my friends. They work so hard with me all year long and do so much from helping me build coops and cages to just picking me up when I am down... So I need to thank them all with a gift and this is a good way to do it. But it means I'll be keeping busy today!

I may not "see" you all until post Christmas, and maybe even post my birthday and then post new years, so...

Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for being the best thread ever!

Whoa, hang on there before you run off! ANYBODY... Is there a "birthday spanking" doodad??? lol Chocolate Mouse, I hope you have a great Christmas, Birthday and New Year!!!

@ Bee... Thank you! I smell biscuits and gravy! LOL That squirrel reminds me of the theives around here. A couple years ago I had about three or four Walmart bags full of black walnuts. I left them outside too long and the dang squirrels stole every single one of them! Maybe I'll get at least ONE walnut tree out of the deal.

Mmm more cookies! Oh yes! Have a great Christmas Bee and give my bestest wishes to your mom. You guys eat too much and have FUN! That's an order! hehe

To you too Angelicisi! A big Christmas hug to you!

You too!!!

They'd flat out kick me out of the neighborhood...there would be villagers with rakes and spray nozzles from their garden hoses, tiki torches in hand, shouting outside my house and demanding that I come out and be run out of town on a Prius.

I've got a better idea...y'all move to where the lights don't show on the satellite pics. You know...that only dark space on the eastern side of the country~WV. No fancy fartin' yuppy people here and we can squat and pee in the yard.....the front yard...if we wanna.

Bee, I don't know where you are in WV but I'm on top of a mountain & my closest neighbor is over a mile away! I'm almost in the center of the state. No better place in the world!!!!

Eat too much. Check!

Got it.

I'm over on the western side about 20 some miles from the Ohio River...but my heart is over in the eastern panhandle portion. That's where I lived for several years....but I was born and raised right here for the most part, though we did move back and forth quite a few times to the mountainous side during that time.

Yes, it's one of the states close to the eastern population mass that is still uninhabited enough that you can live a mile from the closest neighbor and even that is too close!

My only real wish is that I could SHOOT the guys that bring their dogs up here and let them loose to chase bears. Makes me so &(*^%&$% mad!!! I want them to just leave the bears alone. They're not hurting anyone, in their dens, and having their babies only to be chased around by doggies with dumb owners! THAT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION!!!!!
