I tell them, "No it doesn't, it means 'hurry up! the light's about to turn red!' " ;^)

Reminds me of "Starman"; "Red means Stop, Green means GO, and Yellow means Go Very Fast."

I cannnot access Yahoo on my Earthlink browser, but have no problems when I use Internet Explorer.

But, I think Hair might be more helpful, I'm always slightly surprised and gratified when I successfully reach our spot there.

Must go for now. Have to go stand out in my field, then show up (late) for a rehearsal.

May be on later, or may just go to bed. Got up at 5:00 a.m. today to take Jr. to a 7:00 a.m. "30-minute" orthodontist appointment that took an hour and 15 minutes...sigh...

See y'all later. ;-)

I made those lemon cookies...man oh man! They turned out great. I altered the recipe a tad, though... Here's what I did.

Kim's Lemon Cookies

1C Butter, softened
1½C Sugar

Cream these together, then add,

2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
3tbsp reconstituted lemon juice

Mix together well.
In a separate bowl, mix together,

2½C Flour
2tsp Baking powder
¼tsp salt

Add a little at a time to butter mixture.
Chill slightly till a little firm, then roll into 1" balls and roll around in colored sugar if you want to.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until very slightly brown.

I made a dozen cookies and then dropped the rest of the dough onto some plastic wrap and rolled it into a tube like the frozen cookies you buy in the store, and stuck them in the freezer. The idea is I'll be able to cut off the amount I want to use.

I'm thinking of adding more lemon, for a stronger lemon taste, using a coarse ground sugar to roll the cookies in, and adding a little yellow food coloring in the butter mixture, for fun!

Any questions?

You know, it's collectors like you who jack up prices for the rest of us! :)

LOL Do I sound clear? I mean, does what I say make sense? I don't want to raise the price up and then not even get it...you know?

But he didn't bid until I posted asking about it and I think he feels a little bad about it...he's even sent me a private message about it.

Anise, maybe? I would think so, but of course you'd have to fiddle with the ammount.

Hehehe...you just remind me of my sister complaining about the prices of violins and bows. The reason the prices are so high are because of collectors!

I'm just being an ornery hobbit! Lemon cookies aren't exactly my favorite. Lemon belongs in pound cake.
