Morning Sharron!

It's a cold one here today, we're at 7* right now. Got snow yesterday and more is coming today so guess I'll have to put my shovel to work.

We have a 16 month old girl moving over today. She is not enjoyable. She’s very spoiled and screams all day and is a terrible napper. Should be a fun day...not!

Oh boy, sounds like it could be a long day. You're a brave woman to handle all that DMC!

Good morning everyone

This is one of my easiest (and a DH favorite) cookie recipes if you like peanut butter:

1 Cup peanut butter (either creamy or chunky)
1 Cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix together, scoop and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 325* for about 14 minutes. Enjoy!

You can add in chocolate chips or top with a mini peanut butter cup or Hershey's Kiss, or add in whatever you like (maybe M&M's?).

That sounds easy! I'm going to try it and I'll let you know.

I've had the advantage of living around the world and learning different cooking techniques. more often than not, recipes don't tell you what technique is being used. For example: I was initially taught Sicilian, start with screaming hot olive oil, add garlic then add the rest of your aromatic's and herbs. But over time I've learned that I prefer the Tuscan approach. Start with a cold pan. Add olive oil, the aromatics and a little salt. Then turn on the fire to medium low and when the onions are translucent add the garlic. Different techniques yield different flavors.

When I lived in Germany, I loved family night. One week I would cook the next the chef. We traded many techniques as well as recipes. It was a really fun time. I actually taught the German Chef who studied in Paris how to cook Thai and Chinese.

Wow! So cool you've been able to travel, learning things here and there. Very interesting how every culture has their own way of doing things and using spices for different flavors.

I loooove how spices mix together to create flavor, as a beginner it's one of my favorite things about making soup though, I've only made a few easy recipes.
Thai and Chinese?! Ooooooo I think that would be a good skill to have. I think I could live off rice and vegetables
