The Burning House!
This fascinating website where you post a picture of what you would rescue if your house was burning. Everyone then gives their name, age, occupation, website, etc. and a list of their treasure possessions. This picture is from Brody Tors, age 6, occupation – kid and from New Hampshire.

I know I have been doing a lot of recipes lately but it is the holidays and when the holidays are here, I cook! This recipe has been in our family for eons, nicknamed “Lorraine’s Frying Pan Cookies”, I am not even sure who Lorraine is, I think a friend of my grandmother’s. They are easy to make, impress your guests and it is the rare palette that figures out the ingredients. Recipe is easily doubled if you are entertaining or want to give cookies as gifts.
