Biscotti Rollati

Fig Bread or figgy pudding!

           My first attempt  this month did not rise and were a gummy mess. I forced myself to eat some, then put in freezer, then removed and fed the wildlife. I've baked this before with success so tried to find out what I did wrong. I checked the expiration date on the baking soda...2002. That might do it.
I have no idea what key I hit to get this civilized lettering!

A Walk in the neighborhood

One last cookie photo......maybe

Oh Yum!

It's a Dogs Life!

While I was driving down a busy highway I noticed a truck in front of me with a cage or enclosed pen in the bed of the truck. The door to the enclosure opened and a beautiful German Shepard strolled out. The dog walked around the bed of the truck, then stuck its head out to feel the wind.  All I could think of was the possibility of the dog jumping out of the truck  and getting mauled by oncoming traffic.
Should I honk, get the drivers attention, what, what, what, should I do?

Just as I was about to go into a complete state of panic & helplessness.....the dog opened the door to the enclosure, climbed back in and shut the door.

Cookies for Choristers

One of my first experiences on stage was a one-liner that I thought was stupid. I was only in Kindergarten but I remember being urged by the Sister who wrote the play "Taffy Ann". Gloria had the part of Taffy Ann.

I was supposed to run across the stage after having fallen down and say, " A cookie is good for a crack in the head ho ho."  Of course I was holding a cookie.  How dumb is that. I resisted.
Then my sister Barbara showed me how to do it. Finally I gave in, but I always thought it was a stupid line!

I don't know what this has to do with cookies I put in the freezer for St. James Chorister, but every good singer deserves a reward!
Taking a photo in the freezer not the best method!
