Two new recipe's today - One of them came from an English Recipe Book that I have (I have only two ....)

The 1st Recipe I Baked I Kind Of Fucked Up On. I Misread The Recipe And Added Twice The amount Of Applesauce That I Needed - Anyway I Then Went On And Just Doubled Up The Rest Of The Ingredients. So Now I Have Oodles Of Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies [IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/Baking%20and%20Cooking%202012/003.jpg[/IMG]
Rocky Will Be Happy About That

Secondly Out Of One Of My English Cook Books I Made A 'Yorkshire Jam Cake' Using Apricot Jam. It Turned Out Pretty Good, But Not Quite As Good As The Recipe Photo In The Book. (But Then Do They Anyway?) [IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/Baking%20and%20Cooking%202012/002.jpg[/IMG]
Cannot Wait To Try This Tonight

So This Is What I Did Today, Just Thought I Would Share.

tux Luvvy If You Read This The Rest Of The Cookies Are Going In The Freezer When They Have Cooled Down Entirely

A man was in his front yard mowing grass when his attractive blonde neighbor came out of the house and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it then slammed it shut and stormed back into the house. A little later she came out of her house again, went to the mailbox and again opened it, and slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went.

As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, she came out again, marched to the mailbox, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever.

Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, “Is something wrong?”

To which she replied, “There certainly is!”

My stupid computer keeps saying, “You’ve got mail!”

Then Rocky and I turned to our Christmas Eve Tradition - Making Ginger Bread Men Cookies! (something we like to do together - in the kitchen together, makes it fun and feels real good).....


We named this cookie ... Lisa Left Eye! Cos I fucked the right eyeball up getting the baking tray out of the oven.(I lifted the tray upwards too soon and obliterated the right eye, and hit the cookie on the roof of the oven! (which was chocolate - and being melted spread everywhere) lol .... Cookie 911 ......
