Bookmarked the train video so I can share it with my Mom who is a TOTAL Train Nut! Thanks!
Tomorrow I am, ‘baking in earnest’ making four different types of cookies for the, ‘Cookie Day’ cookie exchange at Mom’s on Saturday. There are usually 6-8 of us, and we crank out cookies like there’s no tomorrow...easily baking 60 dozen or more. We share among ourselves, and then the extras go to our churches and our local food pantries. We use Mom’s Pool Table (covered!) to hold them all, and then we package them up for distribution. A lot of work, but a lot of fun!
Beau has really gotten into baking cookies with me these past few years and has become a HUGE help. We will be making/baking:
Coconut Macaroons
Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies
Peanut Blossoms (with the Hershey Kiss in the middle)...
and...Snickerdoodles!
Mom does the Sugar Cookies and Sis is excellent at making various chocolate candy ‘bark.’ Yum!
We’ll watch a corny Christmas Video while we bake. Tomorrow’s selection is, ‘The Santa Clause.’
There are a lot of fantastic scenic train videos on YouTube.
The Schynige Platte Railway in Switzerland is a beautiful ride:

How about a picture of the pool table when it is full for us minimal bakers. Have fun!
FYI, the correct term is "Ferroequinologist".
Huge cookie lover here. Please put aside a plate of snickerdoodles & sugar cookies & I will be over later to pick them up. ; )
Oh, & thank you.
I baked 17 different cookie recipes from a “Taste of Home” cookbook that I bought at Menard’s over the last 2 weeks. I’m giving a birthday party for my husband (a big one) on Sunday. I’m thinking of packaging up the cookies and giving them as Birthday Party “favors”. I have 14 guests (counting ourselves) and will give out 6 boxes of cookies (one per couple). I hope I have enough.
Do you have a special recipe for the peanut blossoms? I have been wanting to make those. Or is it just a regular peanut butter cookie? But I need to figure out how to get it not to flatten out
I’m not much of a cookie baker, but if you like fudge, the world’s easiest, yummiest fudge is 2 ingredient fudge. Mix one can (12 oz) sweetened condensed milk, and 1, 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. (You can use whatever kind of chips you like, for peanut butter, milk chocolate, chocolate mint, etc. fudge). Heat it on high for 30 seconds in microwave, til chips are melted. Takes my microwave about a minute and a half, total, Stir after each 30 seconds you need. Add nuts if you want after final stir, pour into buttered 8x8 inch pan, cool in fridge til firm.
