just add chocolate...

getting ready to bake peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Yesterday I was in the mood to bake cookies and since my 14 year old grandson  (not to mention  son and DH) loves chocolate chip cookies, I thought I would give it a go and have some ready when he came home from school.  I also made home-made cheese burgers with lots of fixings, buns, and my special  HM potato salad.  Now my potato salad is probably not special... but I'm one of those people who doesn't care for most potato salads and have always been a bit 'afraid' of it... since in the south potato salad in the hot sun can be a problem.  My mom warned me enough about eating it out that I almost never eat it period.  But I came across a recipe a while back that we all really love.  So-oo I occasionally make it for us.  If you're interested I found the recipe in Jan Karon's Cookbook (The Midford Series)... and tweaked it a bit.


These are my little pie birds.  The one in the center is not a real pie bird.  I got him at a pottery show in Gruene, Tx.  and he was too cute to resist.  Besides, I seldom use them as pie birds anyway.  They just sit on my Aga and make me happy.
