Angel Cookies and Real Books

As you know, I am a very low-tech, or no-tech person. I do not read books on electronic devices, nor read them on-line on my computer. I like to hold the real thing in my hands, and enjoy it without batteries. That's just me.

(note: In no way, I am writing this to be hurtful to those who do use electronic reading devices.)

Several years ago, I found a wonderful cookie recipe in a library (fiction) book - Aunt Dimity's Christmas, by Nancy Atherton.

Luckily, this author now has her "book" recipes posted on-line, and I can share it here: Angel Cookie Recipe

I love to read Christmas books in the middle of summer (year round for that matter), and you just never know where you'll find the next wonderful recipe.

We not only make this recipe in the form of angels, but use it for our "family" recipe for all cut-out cookies.

I agree, there's nothing like a real book! :)

I never thought I would give up my books...the smell, the feel of the pages...uhm but I did..for me, with lupus..a reader is easier to manage when my hands don't work..

I love your list of foods tried...I live in lobster country and have never had a lobster roll!

I've never seen that one but I've read some of the Aunt Dimity books and love them. Thanks again for another great recipe.

The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with. I made a salad and cleaned the beans. The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so. The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract. It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling. I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time. Update soon. Chit Chat © August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

I've Been MIA and Heat Wave

First day of July. It's hot. I'm definitely not entering a stage of boredom any day soon. Although I've been doing a lot, it's been productive. We are in the middle of the worst heat wave I can ever remember. So humid, there is very little to no work being done in the gardens for the last few days. Heat index has been up to 106 degrees, and nights did not get any cooler than about 77 degrees. The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week. No rain yet. I froze water in small bottles to keep the chickens water cold, and froze treats for them. I canned a small batch of reduced sugar peach jam (before the heat wave). I have to admit, it's been very nice to can for two people now. Enjoyed the last of our asparagus harvest. The last two stalks were harvested June 29th. The longest asparagus season we've ever had. They look light colored, but taking them out of the fridge, they quickly...

Reminders?

On the positive side (after the hot pepper debacle). . . We are looking forward to creative healthy meals, derived from the garden and whatever is in abundance, or available. The chickens helped supply this meal last year and was delicious. Beets roasted with onions and rosemary from the herb garden. Also, a picture from previous garden years. Oh, we put thyme on these too, and also from the herb garden. Not to forget those tomatoes and all the sauces made over the years. That dish included asparagus from the garden, as well as oregano from the herb garden. Sometimes a roll down memory lane gives us the spark to keep gardening and planting. Maybe.
