Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoyed baking. The brownies cookies and chips came out awesome. I enjoyed seeing your kitchen decorations, The tissue paper turkey is old fashion you're right but it's great and so is Michigan turkey too. Loved seeing the sign Kayla made when she was little. She had many years of fun with you in the kitchen. She has grown up and your nephews are growing fast also. Glad you have a nice weekend planned Thanks for all my nice hugs today and this afternoon hugs to all-Stephanie
okay serve em up to me! Brownies, yum! Oatmeal cookies and potato chips. love them all. Pass a plate of them, please :D it all looks like fun! Thanks for letting us be a part of it.
Team work! Send me some chips n a couple brownies please? Great job!
Hi Chris and Holly Looks like everyone had a great time baking and the goodies all look really good. I love oatmeal cookies but don't get them very often because John doesn't care for them. He always wants me to make chocolate chip cookies because that is what his Mom always made for the boys. But every now and then I still make my oatmeal cookies. I have my Mom's recipe and it is delicious. The brownies really look good. I haven't made brownies in quite a while. Now you made me hungry for them!!! I never made potatoe chips from scratch. I will have to try that sometime just to say that I did it.
Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner. It will just be John and I this year. But we will still have our traditional dinner with chicken instead of turkey. A turkey is just too much meat for only two people. Will be doing some baking this week after Monday. Monday my countertops are being installed. We are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and while the kitchen won't be done for Thanksgiving, it will be done for Christmas!! AT least I will have countertops for Thanksgiving.
Take care and have a great day. Gotta run. Hugs--John Debbie Mya and Allie
Hi Chris family and Holly, looks like another successful baking day calling all Cookie Monster they did a great great job the cookies look delicious and the brownies that I would love to have some of them homemade potato chips.
