2016-06-11 - Saturday - Muddy Fun and anniversary

Saturday was Muddy Fun day. We had a small class, but they were a lot of fun. Vince and Dorothy helped me out with it and we all had some laughs.

Three of the five students were there on their Mother's Day celebration. Wow, what good daughters!

Since Saturday marked the five year anniversary of the day Clayworks moved to this building I brought cookies to help celebrate. I think Harris Teeter cookies are the traditional five year anniversary gift.

June 2 - Sunday - Celebration

Sunday we were celebrating Meredith's graduation in Pennsylvania with the rest of the family.  We went out to dinner and then back to the house for dessert.

Karen ordered custom cookies on etsy.com

Meredith with a smile.

Special pound cake.

Kitchen Sink Cookies

Here is the recipe for the cookies that I brought to Clayworks on 12/21. Several people asked me for it and while it's not very healthy, here it is. (After all, it's only once a year, right?)

I have NO idea why blogger is putting such a space between the title of the recipe and the table I created, but here it is.

Kitchen Sink Cookies
from my friend Mary

#1	#2	#3
3/4 C. shortening	1 tsp. vanilla	1 tsp. cinnamon
1 C. brown sugar	3 C. uncooked oats	1-1 1/2 C. raisins
1/2 C. white sugar	1 C. flour	1 pkg. chocolate chips*
1 egg	1 tsp. salt	some coconut
1/4 C. water	1/2 tsp. soda	various nuts
		other dried fruit

* ~2 C. liquid measure = ~12oz pkg of chips.

Beat together column 1, and 2 & 3, but if using nuts, chips, or
raisins, add them last or they'll not mix well.

350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until done. If making giant sized
they could take up to 25 minutes.

Makes about 4 dozen "regular sized" cookies.
