EVEN I CAN’T RUIN THEM COOKIES

Uncategorized 1 Minute

The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

And that’s where I was today. I planned on having a quiet, relaxing Sunday but I just couldn’t. After yesterday I had to prove to myself that I could bake something successfully. And I did. Yay for me.

Peanut Butter Blossoms or Rosette Cookies.

These are loved by my entire family but most especially by my daughter. In later years she took over baking them and now this year it was up to me. Success. Thank goodness.These cookies are the ones she always chose as her favourite for Grammie Ruby to make. Her brothers’ choices were the Uncooked Marshmallow Squares I made the other day and Peanut Butter Balls. After making those balls for a few years I now buy them at Water Street Bakery. A lot less stressful that way.

Funny. When I was first married I did fancy baking (well fancy for me) every Christmas: Peanut Butter Balls. Rum Balls, Cherry Balls, Scotch Cookies, Hello Dollies, and Mocha Cakes are a few that I remember. But with kids and mothers who loved doing it, well, my Christmas baking fell by the wayside. And to be honest I was so busy with three kids and being a music teacher (so many Christmas concerts) who had the time. Anyway those are my excuses.

That’s it for today. No more baking until the end of the week. Want to keep those goodies fresh for Christmas.

I love listening to this arrangement and I loved singing it accompanied by Peter Gallant.

Take care and stay healthy.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work.

So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
