Unstructured Thoughts - What Are You Thinking Now?

Yes Debbie - they are a sugar cookie and pretty easy.
1/2 lb Self Raising Flour
1/2 lb sugar
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
3 oz butter/margarine
1 egg

Beat butter & sugar, add egg and beat until well mixed, add flour and coconut and mix well. Roll so the size of large marbles, roll in sugar and place on greased tray well apart. Bake at 375F (a little less for fan forced). I like to take them out when they first start to show a bit of light brown color. I don't like them too browned. It probably takes about 10-15 minutes maybe. Depends on your oven. You need to leave them on the tray for a few minutes before trying to lift them off. They are quite soft when you take them out of the oven. I leave them for a minute or so, then just move them so they don't set on the tray, then cool them on a rack.

And they haven't thrown you out for hopping around?

Headless, you're just trying to make me jealous of your weather. Well we had a cold front move through, and today it was only 98. Broke our 17 day streak of over 100 degrees.

Spooky, I've never been to Trader Joes, are there a lot of people hopping there, or is it just you and Roxey hopping around?

I hope the shirt helps your dog. The dog we had growing up, had a heart attack one night durning a thunderstorm. But she was like 16 years old, so I'm sure that didn't help.

I like to buy a different kind of salsa everytime I go there. My dad goes all the time and gets almost all his food there.

If you like cheese, try this Trader Joe's Toscano Cheese with Black Pepper. I love it

Also, hard to beat Charles Shaw wine price - if you're a wino

Hey, who stole the "s" from Spooky1's keyboard?

We love Trader Joe's. It's not a big store, so there isn't the same variety of food you'd find in a regular grocery store, but there are lots of items you'd never find in a regular store, either. It also carries a lot of organic foods at reasonable prices.

And someone from the neighborhood behind ours has been shooting off firecrackers, so Willow is wearing her Thundershirt, too
