Lime, Apple and Fork

When Tom is away, meals don’t happen. While I baked cookies, Deb came to the rescue and prepared dinner.

Festive Cookie Dough, Complementary Color Scheme

Every year at this time I make a gigantic batch of Festive Cookie Dough.

Butter, Cream Cheese and Margarine … and a Sony Charger

I’ve cut back considerable on the amount I make.  Instead of nine pounds of cream cheese and four and a half pounds each of butter and margarine ( nine double batches of the recipe), I only make three double batches.  Simplifying my tasks allows more time for drawing and painting.
