The cookies are done and delicious. Gotta love that Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies recipe from Quaker Oats. It's the best.
In the middle of making a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies (with walnuts).
Chocolate chip cookies (with walnuts) next. Either this afternoon or tomorrow.
That reminds me, I need to look for coconut cake mix.
Hmmmm, I mention two different kinds of cookies, neither of which contain coconut. I never mention cake. That reminds you to buy a coconut cake mix.
I am obeying orders (doesn't happen often )
We ended up in the ER yesterday thinking my kidney stones or infection were back. Thankfully it isn't kidney related at all. However, they are thinking gallstones and I have to wait until Monday for an ultrasound, then to get in to see a surgeon so it probably won't happen until the new year.
I am okay, but still in pain and TB has been home to look after me because it is a snow day and he is off work.

Yum, Andy. I just looked the recipe up and think I'll make some tomorrow, but I'll used dried cranberries or cherries instead of raisins.
I think he's thinking about making the cake mix cookies Katie posted recently.
Katie, I've made these with dried cranberries (Craisins) and they are delicious.
I can't even remember what I bought coconut for, but I have it!

<nursey hat on>Some of you spoke of naps. I have had to take two of these today. I don't like these medicines, but they do help me become more comfortable. I Googled these medicines and both of these can be extremely addicting! I'm worried, so I'm not taking these so much as the directions indicate.
With love,

I'm sitting with Cat and Carl reading posts here. Speaking of cakes, Addie, Cat's favorite cake is an angel food cake. I'll be making this for her birthday on January 3.
When my mother was in the USA, she bought an old 1961 Joy of Cooking cookbook. Cat and I share this now, and therein lies a wonderful angel food cake recipe, which I have always used.
Funny as I see these posts, Cat and I took a moment to thumb through this old cookbook, and we realized cooking has changed quite a bit since 1961.
This has given us a lot to talk about. Cat said this: "No wonder good food and good cooking is a universal language, for it speaks to the heart...and the tummy."
It's late here. Everyone is abed but for Carl, Cat, and I. It certainly has been one of those days.

Pain talk!!!~Cat Dear! The doctor gave you pain medicine to help you heal. You will have stiff scars and take longer to heal if you do not take the pain medicine and you hurt, because you will not want to move. Not moving can also cause you to develop pneumonia, take the pain medicine. Go for walks and enjoy the fresh air.
I know they make you feel drowsy and woozy, but as long as you are not taking them for drowsy and woozy feelings but for pain...and stop taking them when you stop having pain, you will not become addicted.
On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst pain ever!!!! Where is your pain on that scale? If it is 4 or over...TAKE the PAIN Medicine!!! Over 4 and you start moving differently, not freely like you should be.
Don't make me come beat you like I do my step-kids...

Love you more,
