    I'm actually not fond of Cherries
    But since were talking Baking. Me and mom Have Agreed that were doing a $hit load of baking this year.. She told me she wanted to do Sugar and Gingerbread cookies and that the rest was mine, this is what we came up with

    Sugar Cookie -(Half of them will be snickerdoodles)

    Gingerbread men- (cough, dinosaurs, cough)

    Ranger Cookies-I remember eating these as A Child, so I couldn't resist
    Ranger Cookies III - Allrecipes

    Indian Pudding-NOt really a cookie, But my mom being from New England and her side of the family coming down for Christmas, we decided this is a must

    Butter Tarts- http://www.joyofbaking.com/ButterTarts.html

    And this random thing- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/f...pe2/index.html

    We also ended up making this for Thanksgiving, and omg It was so good... I ended up almost dying from sugar rush. We still have it in the fridge, and the moment I get home from Tuesday, its gone

    I like bachelor buttons...

    Small amount of peanut butter dough, walnuts or pecans with a Hersey's Kiss on top... delicious! My mom came up with the name, not sure if the name was original...

    Seeing as how I'm turning 16 I see it as the whole "coming of age yadda yadda yadda" I've wanted to do something intersting for my Birthday. Now I've already talked to my parents and I've having 2 get togethers. 1 just for the family and 1 just for the friends, and the thing is I can't decide what I want to do! I mean I've come up with a bunch of idea's but I ultimialy can't decide on what I want to do.

    The way I see it

    Family= 2 options, We can have a cookout at my/aunts house, Or I can find a restaurant that I want to go to.

    A lot of times, I'd would just go with the cookout. But I wanted to do something different this year so with the restaurant I have to find a place that

    A) Is good enough for me and mom (upscaleish, not just fast food) but good enough for my dads family (my grandpa things buffets are the greatest thing in the world, and would eat at Ryans or Golden Corral everyday)

    B) Distance, Again Clarksville doesn't really have a lot to offer and I'm afraid that my grandmother wouldn't be able to make the drive to nashville because of her ears.

    And with the friends I can't decide whether

    A) Doing something cool (Taking on the Vermonster, a Ben and jerries ice cream sundae, 20 scoops of ice cream, 17 scoops toppings, bananas, cookies, whipped cream, etc..

    B) Having a house party..

    Choices, choices.
    I'll brb, I have to go for my run

    House party sounds good for the friend gathering, but it can be a bit overwhelming, especially for mom and dad. ;)

    The family gathering, I think you're probably safer with the cookout, that way there's a variety of food, everyone is in a relaxed environment and can sit around and talk. In a restaurant you're seated in one spot and can't talk to everyone.

    It's up to you, 16 is a milestone it should be something fun that you'll always remember.

    My parents had a surprise party for me on my 16th. They lined up a babysitting job for me, which was a bit funny. The people I babysat for were regulars but out of the blue they call me up, tell me they've decided to go out for a pizza, could I come watch the kids. No problem. I get there and the kids are already eating delivery pizza. I was a bit confused as to why the parents were going out for pizza when they already had some at home.

    Turns out they didn't go for pizza at all, they went to my parents house and helped decorate. :)

    All my friends were there, it was a complete surprise, didn't see it coming. :)

    Great, more drooling. Sadly I can't make anything with nuts here, hubby's allergic, deadly allergic. But, if he starts being a brat I might ask for the recipe. ;)

    Try them, even without the nuts they are really, really good... didn't get any this year so far. My daughter said that she will bake some for Christmas though.:)

    Hey, you. I just wanted you all to know I will be starting a new job on Monday. So I'll probably be on here a lot less. It's only a temp-job so it won't be forever. But I'm here for just a minute. How has everyone been?
