Copper, White Chocolate, Tomatoes and Brownie Points

we were talking about copper...

well, i have this hmmm...bin?

tub!

that's all, oh and that thing

on the plate?

cranberry, white chocolate and pecan cookie.

i made 'em twice recently

...such a nice break from chocolate chip...

which is always the one everyone wants.

i am a walking recipe when it comes to the

one on the back of the chocolate chip bag...

and i half it always.

well you can customize the basic dough

with whatever...so here is how to make a half recipe

of these in the pic:

1 stick of softened butter

3/4 cup of light brown sugar

1 egg

1 t vanilla

1 cup all -purpose flour

1 t baking soda

handful of dried cranberries

handful of white chocolate chips

handful of chopped pecans

mix in that order and bake by spoonfuls

at three-fifty degrees F.

food in clear things always looks so pretty!

what's in my jar?

this tomato salad just absolutely

thrills everyone i serve it to!

maybe you make it too...but if not,

here it is:

take a saucepan and boil equal parts of vinegar

and water.

like a cup of each for example...

now add say...a half cup of white sugar.

see how precisely i cook?

hop on one foot and say the alphabet

backwards.

chop tomatoes,

cucumbers,

onions (white or purple)

and add them to the cooled

vinegar/water.

i sprinkle either dill weed

or a seasoned salt in as well.

you take either of these

foods to a friend's house...

you are going to

score some points!

(hope you don't need points... :/)
