Granola Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Yes, I'm still stalling on the Christmas pics. But I wanted to share a great recipe that I modified into something pretty delicious. The original recipe I pulled from Martha's Baking Handbook. But since I completely didn't have a few ingredients and didn't have enough of some and different types of others - I winged it by adding and changing some thins and came up with something pretty tasty. So here's a new recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies! Click on the recipe below and you can print an 8.5x11 page. Enjoy!

Star Wars... sorta

I know - I'm stalling. I've been working on the Christmas post for a few days now - but I still have more to do... so have some fluff for your Thursday evening....

Balance to you too!

Well here it is! My first attempt with the new unicycle. Needless to say the first run was a bit... uh... rough. They say it takes about a month to master it and actually stay vertical on one of these things. And there's a lot of practice rocking back and forth while holding on to something so you can find the sweet spot that won't throw you forward or careen you backward. Its a might bit cold out otherwise I'd be practicing right now. (I'd practice inside - but I don't think Paul wants to find me laying mangled on the kitchen floor when he comes home. Grass is a bit softer than linoleum padded concrete!)

Balance

I ordered a unicycle on Friday.
