Interesting take on the cookies with the tube, slice and bake.

Do you have the recipe for the variation?

They are in the oven as I type! They were sooo
gd last night I decided to whip up a batch to take w/me today. I will get you a variation of
this recipe soon: uses cake flour and you roll
the dough into a tube, refrigerate then slice and bake! Very gd. Recipe also calls for grated
lemon peel. There is also a savory herb variation that becomes an apptzr. Merry Merry!!

Mom- Manny was telling my side of the family about the “scrumptious” Cape Verdean fish-head stew over Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t say that I really want to try it though… When I was a kid, I loved fishheads but now that I realize what they are, they’re just less appetizing. Has he ever made it for you?

As a matter of fact I do have a good coucous recipe, tho your husband didn’t teach it to me. I’ll make it over the next week.

I do miss those days w. Gram and Gramp watching me…. thanks for the recipe, Mom.

Yes, there is a new mixer! This was the first outing with it as a matter of fact. I’ll look for the post – the twist is intriguing.

And I love butter! =) Can’t go wrong there.

I love shortbread…one of the only cookies I can lose control over…tons of butter is always a sure thing!
