Oct 16 2012 ~ busy bee at home today.... =)

Another day of waking up to snow...nothing much more then a skiff again....but the mountain is solid white now at the top....so I'm sure it's close to the never ending winter soon.  I have to dig out my warmer gloves...my fingers are really cold after the walk to the bus and back...brrrr  I up graded from my thin $1 gloves to a pair I wear today...and well lets just say I like mittens better and will have to get warmer gloves if my tinkle box doesn't have them... not looking forward to even colder weather.  Carlisle your going to freeze when you get home......=)

So just realized  I missed morning coffee with the girls...busy busy around here, trying to figure out what to have for dinner tonight.  Crockpot is on with Chicken cooking, will make some rice and salad later.  I also made a brownie (don't ask for recipe because it was from a box) and I also made Toffee Bar (it's a choc chip cookie).  It's so easy and you can make it with little ingredients.  I have made this recipe for years...yummy

Toffee Bar- recipe below

Brownies-from a box

Crock pot chicken - just stuff thrown together...no recipe

Toffee Bar

1 cup Hard Margarine or Butter
1 cup packed Brown Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups Flour
1 cup Choc Chips ( I like mini ones best)

Cream butter and brown sugar, add Vanilla and then flour, blend together all with the mixer....will be slightly crumbly. Mix in Choc Chips stir with a spoon.

Line a cookies sheet (15 x 10) with tin foil.  Dump cookie batter into cookie sheet and spread evenly all over the pan.  then press down with hand to make a big cookie...making sure to be out to the edge.

Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 min or until golden brown.

*make sure to cut just after bringing out of oven.  Cool and enjoy. (this recipe is from back in my teen years, not sure of the book)
Cookie hardens well cooling, note you can't just eat one.... =)

Oh ya, I have done a load of laundry as well, off to have a shower and do some crocheting.  Have a great day everyone....=)
