Lane, Easton and Rhet end of year school awards. (2022)
Joan made chocolate chips. Denielle made rice crispy treats and Joan also made cornstarch cutout in letters of the alphabet. We used icing to hold the cookies onto paper plates that spelled out the kids' names. While we were at it, we made the same ' name plates' for our families.
Regin’s Baby Shower——6/22
I made: chocolate walnut puffs, thumbprints and Christine's.
Joan made: cornstarch cutouts in the shape of baby bottles and three flavors of pizzelles (chocolate, vanilla and anise). Joan also made one of those soft cushions liners that you put the baby in when using a shopping cart.
Christmas Cooking Baking with Maria, Garrett and Gerald Anthony---2021
On Saturday, December 18, Maria and family came over to bake. She brought lots of ingredients, stuff to eat along the way and a 4 section bundt cake pan gift for Joan. She also had a double batch of pre-made Cornstarch Cookies. I had a sponge cake for Petit Fors, Butter Balls and Kpiful dough. Maria had the three colored cakes for her Napolians. As the day went on, I mixed Basic Dough for a fig loaf and Maria really wanted to try Gampa Dalesio's stove top Pizzelle iron.

Christmas Cookie Baking on Nov 23, 2021 with Denielle
Each each, Denielle takes the week of Thanksgiving and spends it with us. Lynder comes with her and if the work schedule allows, Tumeca comes too. This year, Tumeca coldn't get the time off.
Each year, we spend some of the time making Christmas cookies for the girls to take back to New York. They share them with friends and co-workers. I think Tumeca shars them with her aunts too.

Covid 19 had its influence on cookies this year....a minor hiccup compared to the real tragedy.
None of the nieces, nephews or family came ove to bake.
Joan and I started on Dec12 and finished up by the 14th. The goal was to mail off cookies to friends and relatives by the 16th.
Joan made: Chocolate chips, Sugar cookie cut-outs, Linzer tarts, Chocolate and Vanilla checkboard sugar cookies(a recipe from Elaine Welland's gift cookbook) and Multi-colored pinwheels.

March 1 thru March 9, 2018
Mary with Gerald and Margie with Joe arrived for a visit on March 1. Judy and Nancy from PA arrived on the 7th. Lots and lots of laughs, memories recalled and created. Before the cousins arrived, we all ate at ’Anna Maria Oyster Bar’ and it was Jered’s treat—a gift for my birthday. We’ll go out again when Jeneve and family arrive after March 31–still on Jered’s treat!

Homemade Pasta made with Chickpea Flour
Once, when on a strict no carb diet, I developed this recipe because I like my pasta.
1 cup chickpea flour
1 egg
1 Tablesppoon olive oil
I’ve doubled this recipe, but not much more than that . It’s not a very forgiving dough and can be difficult to roll and cut.
It has a nutty, not very pleasant flavor when eaten raw. Once cooked though, you can barely tell the difference between it and regular semolina flour dough. It’s really good!
