The this and that week

I have done everything from work on here to bake cookies and peanut butter bread this week. There was a doctors appointment and grocery shopping. I got a pretty good deal on a turkey. so now if we decide to stay here at home we will have one. We have been invited to a couple places but we never know how we are going to feel or now the weather is going to be so I like to make sure all the bases are covered.
I have added a few new pics to my flickr. I made some awesome Guernsey cow earrings for a friend of mine who raises them.I had seen her at fair week and she made the comment that no one ever made Guernsey cow jewelry. So I thought I would give it a try. I think they turned out pretty darn good.
Then I have made some Christmas earrings, I love to wear holiday earrings so I just had to make me some different ones and while I was at it I thought why not make a few more to put on Etsy. I got them put on there the night before last.
I have some Christmas ornaments that I will be adding this afternoon or maybe in the morning. I am running out of the time that I give myself on here so it may well be in the morning. I have been trying to limit myself on here so I can get other things done. I have this habit of getting carried away when I am online. I start out checking out one thing and then that lead me to some where else. Before I now it I have spend half the day on here and my DH will come in and say "dinner is ready, honey". And I think OMG I should have been doing something else, like making dinner or something. Thanks God my DH loves and understands me.
This morning I decided I better do a few things before I get in here. So I made beef broth (to freeze) out of some bones we got with the cow I spoke about earlier, then I made some peanut butter bread. YUMMMMMMMM. Turned out really good. I guess you can tell we like peanut butter. Hehehe. If anyone wants the recipe for the bread you can either leave a comment here or look at Paula Deans website. That is where I got it from.
Well have a lot more to do. Have to skip over to my other blog and put a post on there. So if I don't talk to you before..Have a great week-end.

Peanut butter,oatmeal,choc chip cookies

Isn't it funny where our minds can lead us? While thinking about one thing all of a sudden something else comes to mind. This morning I was looking thru my emails and checking out Christie Friesen's web site, which BTW is a great site with lots of info and eye candy,I got to thinking about peanut butter,oatmeal,choc chip cookies. It got so bad that I had to stop what I was doing and go bake some. Then of course I had to eat a few with my DH. They were great by the way. So good in face that I thought I would put the recipe here so you can make your own.
So here it is.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup choc chips
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together shortening, margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats snd choc chips until just combined. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until just light brown. Don't over-bake. Cool and eat.

Now is says you are to get 48 cookies and I never did like those little teaspoon size cookies so I got 30 man size out of my batch. Any way you do them I hope you enjoy.

After having eat my full and storing the rest I decided I better get busy with my Christmas earrings. But first I wanted to write and tell you my recipe. Now I will get in there and finish up with my earrings. They have the cutest little Santa hats and mittens. I will have them in my Etsy store shortly so please go have a look.
