I admit it….

I’m a wuss, sap, crybaby, sucker when it comes to animal-type commercials.

Of course my all time favorite commercials are the Budweiser draft horse ones…some of them will even bring tears to my eyes.

Here in Washington state we have a lottery and there is a new commercial in town.

I….LOVE….THIS….COMMERCIAL!

Can I say it again???

I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!

Now I have no clue how videos on line work but I am posting a link to my current very most favorite commercial. I have no idea how long this link will be active, valid or otherwise viewable so I appologize in advance if you should come across this post sometime in the future and cannot view the link.

I have an old paperback cookie recipe cookbook that I have had for years….so long in fact that I have lost the front cover with the copyright date on it. On the second page it has the letters MCMLXV and knowing this somehow relates to a year I googled those letters and found out it is the year 1965 of the Gregorian Calender (looking at the illustrations/drawings in the book I would have guestimated it was somewhere around that time frame).

What exactly is a Gregorian Calender you ask? You can read all about (and then some) HERE! My eyes were actually crossing by the time I was finished!

Now in my antique cookie cookbook is an easy, no-bake, scrumptious Fudgy Oatmeal Cookie recipe. The granddaughters came over the other night and I didn’t have any cookies so I quickly made these up-much to the hubs delight (he simply cannot have just one, or two, or three or….well you get the picture!).

Fudgy Oatmeal Cookies

2 c. Sugar

1/2 c. Milk

1/4 lb. Butter

3 Tbls. Cocoa Powder

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Vanilla

1/2 c. Peanut Butter

3 c. Quick Cooking Oatmeal

Combine sugar, milk, butter and cocoa in a pan. Bring to a full boil for one minute-timing accurately. Remove from heat and add salt and vanilla. Blend in peanut butter then the oatmeal. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon on wax paper. These will become firm as they cool.

New photos of our Hint of Asia collection. We actually did two photo shoots with this one. The first with a more Asian theme, the second a more light and airy spa theme! I love them both!
