B&C is busy painting her little heart out today but this one is darn close! Just watch your baking time..could be less than they state - B&C's cook time is about 15 to 20 mins.
[CENTER]Scottish Shortbread[/CENTER]
[LEFT]1 Cup White Sugar
1 tsp. water
1 Pound Butter, softened
4 Cups White All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
Put sugar in bowl, and sprinkle with the teaspoon of water. Cream in butter until well blended. Add flour and salt, and mix in until the mixture is crumbly. Press into a 9X13 ungreased cake pan, and poke holes about every inch or so. Bake in a 275 degrees oven for 1 hour, until top edges are a light golden colour. Cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Yum![/LEFT]

It is very hard when you loose loved ones. We have December Death Month in our family - grandpa passed away on 12/17 and grandma (not to be outdone) on 12/23. So I always feel bad for my MOm this time of year. BUT we do march on. I lost my uncle 13 years ago, he was like my Dad and it was HARD to move on after that. But now that we're the "middle" generation and our parents are the "elders" we really still keep it all going. Otherwise, the kids will not think it's anything special...ya know?
October's our death month (which sucks b/c it's probably my favorite month!). Both my parents, a few uncles, a few on my DH's side. Every year we breath a sigh of relief when October passes, LOL. Carry on......

My ex made the best peanut butter balls! I would munch on them until peanut butter was coming out of my eyeballs! And her mom made the best "snickerdoodles". I will be making a nice chocolate mint cheese cake this year - we are celebrating xmas with our old neighbor's and he loves anything mint! I'll let you all know how it comes out : ))
