50+ thread

My first child (a baby boy) is due in April, and I'll be turning 50 in May.
I quit trimming my ear & nose hairs a few weeks ago just to prepare for the dad role

 

Congrats.

Gator wouldn't start sooo lock her in!

 

Wait... how do you ..umm no Why Do you .....ahh what does she do post her medical appointments on the Bulletin Board and what they are for ?? I would be so tempted to tell anyone who wants a question answered on Monday they will have to wait till they can get her head out of her ass .. or um wait till you can run your answers by her before answering them... . You know on second thought you are looking a little green around the gills perhaps you need to see the Dr about stress leave....Cause you are being sexually harassed come on she discusses her chest and then her butt really !!!

Funny you don’t look 50 in your avatar..

 

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read this or I would have spit it all over the iPad!

 

Martin! You were up awfully early this morning!

 

.
Yes sir. Getting that time of year. As soon as the LTVA season ends (Apr 15) my days will start earlier yet. My plan is to be home by 1300- 1400 so they'll have to start (at the office) by 0300-0400. There may be some days that are totally backwards where I go to work late afternoon and get home at 0 dark.

 

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup (2 sticks) soft butter

1-1/2 cups sugar

1 egg

½ cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine flour with baking powder, soda, salt and nutmeg, Let it set off to the side.

Mixer at about a medium speed with an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and egg until fluffy.

Mix in sour cream and vanilla until smooth.

Gradually add flour mixture, beating until fully mixed.

Make dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Split the dough into 2 equal parts. Put half back into the refrigerator until you’re ready to roll out.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover baking sheet with grease and lightly dust with chocolate drink powder or use parchment paper .

Flour a hard surface and roll out dough, one half at a time, to ¼-inch thickness.

Cut out cookies cookie cutter make sure you dust it with flour. Place about 2-inches apart on the baking sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes until slightly brown around the edges. If you over bake you will not have soft cookies

Cool on a wire rack

There are instructions on frosting them if desired but I cannot read the card they are written on it is fairly old and part of it is missing it got wet a few times while these were being made.

I can read powdered sugar … amt ? Water…amt? and nothing after that so you are on your own.


I have several others on cards that are quite readable if you want I can take a picture of them and post. This one lol umm bifocals and a strong light and 20 minutes to read it but hey I just typed it all out so I will print it off for myself lol

Hermits, Whoopie Pies single and double batch, Half Moons, Date Nut Bread.
I also have a complete Cook book written by A very very nice Nonna but every recipe you want to use has to be converted from Works to word to use them there is about 100 plus recipes she wrote them down for family and since I was the computer geek neighbor .. ":}I have book 1 of two I think book 2 is on a back up drive some where if your interested I would have to search for it kind of busy this week though.

Evening Everyone !!!

Just getting back from Dinner with my friends , these are the friends who cooked me dinner on Monday . I bought them dinner tonite and they enjoyed it



@Martin64

Martin nor sure if you like Street Outlaws but tonite on Discovery channel they're showing the no prep race from Tuscon

 

I try to watch it sometimes. But the drama is usually too much.

 

This isn't street outlaws but a series of nine no prep races called no prep kings .it features cars from all over the US including the 405

 

Thanks. Will try that next time already made some from a 'net recipe. Saved as Cypher cookie recipe
