i am thankful for cool autumn afternoons when el presidente refuses to be pacified by anything but cookie making. unfortunately, this afternoon i had approximately zero ingredients for cookies and i had to sort of make it up as a i went. the finished product turned out as about as good as i expected: irregularly shaped cow patty lumps. and to add insult in injury, we ate so much cookie dough that only 7 cow patties could be made. nevertheless, the afternoon was a success. and this totally took me down memory lane. growing up we had a ward cookbook in which one sister had submitted a cookie called the "cow pie cookie" with the caption, "looks real, tastes great" and my brother dave would always say, "tastes real, looks great."
in other thankful for food news: i am thankful for gigantic hunks of pepperoni that somehow make it into my pepperoni package and i am forced to eat them. i love me an obnoxious sized piece of pepperoni.
and i am thankful for cheap dates and mcdonald's 99cent twisty cones.
and my houndstooth hat.
and my houndstooth hat.

OH MY GOSH! You are so totally rockin' that hat! I love it. (Be honest now - did legaleagle buy that for you?)
hook me up sista!
I'll have to look up that recipe...come on, spill it- which sister was it?
I love el presidente's cookie pirate face.
What did you do to get the McDonalds people to make the cone so blasted tall?? I never get it that big. Methinks I need to flirt more. Or get a houndstooth hat.
nat-i purchased the hat on my own whilst my mother watched my kids. i was supposed to be running errands.
rachel-i think it was sister woodall's recipe if i am not mistaken.
reva-it was the houndstooth hat for sure.
HOW do you know Reva??? From when you were in Georgia??? She and I went to school together at Arizona State forever ago and graduated at the same time...this is such a SMALL WORLD! ANYways, I just have to say, Roll Tide! Very cute hat!
I love the pictures! Awesome hat!
i love that somebody else patronizes dirty ron's besides me. but you play it safe with the ice cream cones, and i am all jacked up on the qp w cheese. we've got to come together and meet in the middle! we can do it!
Was Thomas driving while you took the ice cream picture? Sweet!
The cookies looked...real.
I'm thankful for your hat, too. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the hat!
Sydney Kate is always wanting to make cookies when I don't have all the ingredients! She also thinks you can make peanut butter with just peanuts and water.
