Sunday Sunshine

What a most glorious day today. The sun is shinning and the weather is just beautiful! Am doing a little cooking and then will take off a couple of hours to watch “Jack” on the season premier of 24 tonight. After us going over to Randy’s mom’s house and cleaning up after moving her to a nursing home, I have really rethought about what I keep and what I don’t. So kids, you would be proud of me. I have been throwing out things that haven’t been looked at in a couple of years. Don’t worry, we are not throwing out any treasures like all your report cards, or your cigar boxes with pasted on macaroni, sprayed gold, all over it. I want you to have the joy of doing that. One day you are going to thank us for what we are doing this week. Have thrown out old cookbooks that we never use, clothes that are the size I want to be, but will never be again, funiture that has the “gorilla glued on” leg. Things that we should have tossed many years ago. But in going through some of the things at Hazel’s, there were a few cookbooks that I just had to bring home. I made some peanut butter cookies from one of those books which I will share tomorrow. They are just delicious. And since it was written in the 1950’s, it has 1 cup of shortening in it. That’s right, shortening, not margarine or half butter, but pure shortening and that is simply what I used. So stay tuned in tomorrow, as that recipe will be posted. Gotta ruin and get another trash bag, am going to attach the hall closet now………
