Let us hold firmly to the hope that we have confessed, because we can trust God to do what he promised. Hebrews 10:23
The temps dropped to 32 degrees and we got snow here in southern NH, just a dusting. I think the roads may be slick and slushy though! My prayers this morning go out to all those traveling on the roads! Including my sons, grandsons and DIL plus friends! Two days to Christmas and we are expecting a chance for snow for Christmas! Wow yesterday it was in the 50's here.
Here is an excellent article to read if you are like me and planning a spring or summer garden and yesterday was officially the first day of Winter http://www.doityourself.com/stry/8-plants-that-thrive-in-full-sun-exposure and we can't forget our indoor gardens this is a good read too http://www.typesofplants.net/household_plants/household_plants.html

My all time favorite holiday cookie! Yes I just found this recipe and I thought I would share it with you!
NOTE: I have not tried these yet 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup molasses 1 egg 3 1/4 cups flour 1 t. baking soda 1/2 t. ground cloves 1/2 t. ground nutmeg 1/4 t. black pepper, table grind 1 t. ground cinnamon 1 cup powdered sugar for garnish Preheat oven to 350. Add butter and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl, and using a mixer with paddle attachment, beat until creamy. Add molasses and egg and mix well. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper and cinnamon, then add this mixture a little at a time to butter and brown sugar, mixing constantly until well blended. Shape dough into walnut size balls and put 1 1/2 inches apart on nonstick cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until set. Cool for about 3 minutes. Cover a sheet pan with wax paper. Put powdered sugar in small bowl. While cookies are still warm, roll each in sugar and place on sheet pan to cool. Put cookies into an airtight container to mellow for 2 days. Will keep for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies Yummmmmmmmmm! |
