 I'll take the top two and leave the third one for the rest of you to fight over.    After all, it is the season of giving.  Thanks, WQ

I have chores, buddy. My herd of cats don't feed themselves.  

They are Barn cats. THEY SHOULD!

[Valkyrie]

I printed two winter/Christmas themed activity sheets for my individuals to choose from today.  One was a picture of a cat wearing a Santa hat.  One of my individuals colored the cat yellow.  I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from giggling uncontrollably, since she had colored one of Gary's peed-on barn cats.

Let them in, no more risks of you hurting yourself or catching a cold they'd even keep you warm

I had lunch at Taproot Cider House today. On the menu: pizza. Butternut squash puree, mozzarella cheese, maple-roasted Brussels sprouts, diced apples, smoked bacon, and chèvre on a wood-fired crust from their house-made dough.

Tie a pillow to your butt. That's what they did with me when I tried to learn to skate.

Since Val has already chosen TWO I think she should be excluded from choosing this one too. Mum and I could use some younger help baking cookies. he just needs an apron.

Mum and I baked cookies and Thistle went to Doggie Day Camp this morning. We baked chocolate thumbprint cookies and I was reminded that I had promised to share the recipe last year and forgot ..

 

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies

Recipe makes 4 dozen

 

1 Cup margarine (Mum uses butter flavored Crisco)

11/3 Cup sugar

4 egg yolks (beat egg whites until frothy and set aside)

4 Tbsp milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 Cups flour

2/3 Cup cocoa

½ tsp salt

¾ to 1 Cup finely chopped nuts (we use walnuts but believe almonds or pecans would be tasty too)

 

Preheat oven to 350 f

Cream together margarine, sugar, egg yolks, milk and vanilla extract.

Combine dry ingredients (flour, cocoa and salt) and add to wet ingredients.

Chill for 1 hour or overnight.

Roll into 1 inch balls (I use a cookie scoop). Dip in beaten egg white and coat in chopped nuts. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press thumbprint in center.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Cool.

Add ¼ tsp frosting (recipe below) and top with Hershey Kiss.

 

Frosting

Mix together:

1 Cup 10x sugar

2 Tbsp Butter

4 tsp milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

Point one, they dont need to hire someone. They have Gary.

 

Point two, you dont hire slaves, you buy them.
