For New Year's I made homemade Chewy Pecan Cookies. I didn't have time for making them for Christmas, so I opted to start 2023 with a sugar high!!! When I took the first batch of two cookie sheets out of the oven to cool before removing them with a spatula, I found this one! Of course, me being the searcher of hearts anywhere I can find them, I called DIBS!! In other words, Bud must keep his mits off of it. He said "You should save it". Ummmm, and not taste the yumminess of the pecans? "I'm eatin' it!" In fact, while still warm, both of us had two cookies each. And me? I had a large cup of ice-cold milk to wash 'em down. The recipe made 4 1/2 dozen; I froze most of 'em. The secret to keeping cookies soft and chewy is to undercook by about 3 minutes....otherwise they get crunchy. I like soft, chewy-centered, cookies best of all. No store-bought cookies for me.
Now that I bored you with that I'll move on to something else that may bore the heck out of ya'. Ever see the movie "The Lone Ranger" starring Johnny Depp? When I was standing at the work bench in the garage the other day, I turned the over-head light on and I have a tortise shell windchime hanging near by to clean off the dust to get it back indoors to put back up near one of the AC/Heat outlets on the ceiling. Well, the windchime cast a shadow! Instantly I saw Johnny Depp [Tonto] with his crow on the top of his head and all of the reshaped Native American profile of his make-up. Yes? Well, maybe you have never seen the movie, that's your loss. It was considered a 'flop', but I really enjoyed it. So many parts made me laugh. One of my favorite lines in the movie is when the Lone Ranger asks Tonto why he keeps calling him Kemosabe and then "what does it mean"? Tonto's answer is "wrong brother". LOL And of course the music!!!!Then last but not least...Isaiah
He's probably just as bored with the whole thing as you all are!
