These cookies (inside out carrot cake cookies) are something my son would love. the ingredients are a little off (no carrots and 1.12 cups of flour!). The website says the same thing, though.

I’ll do a search and post a recipe that includes carrots in some form. Son is heading off to MEPS to join the Air Force tomorrow. I’d like to have this recipe on hand for whenever I can send him some goodies.

I figure there’s a 50-50 chance he will make it in. It’s all about his weight. He aced all the tests. But has stubbornly refused all advice on how to lose that last few pounds. (His stubborness, ie., immaturity, is why we think he desperately NEEDS to be in the military. They’ll make a man out of him.)

So, after dropping him off at the recruiters tomorrow, my plan is to go to the store and pick up some chicken and chuck roast that I see are on sale. And spend the day canning. It’ll keep me busy and keep me from worrying. Amazing how my new hobby is coming in so handy (and not just in ways dealing with storing food)!

Good for you, keeping busy will help, in lots of ways.

I agree, for often when I meet a man, even years later, you can still see the strength they gained in the military.

It wouldn’t hurt the women either, if they would get off the womens libber platform and just train them for good uses.
