December Adventures


So figure this one out: I Can only type Capital C's, H's, and V's (no lower Case). How awesome is this laptop?!?! Can anyone else smell a restart in my future? At least spell-check is Catching some of them. 

This week I made the most delicious Christmas treats from a recipe belonging to my great grandmother Hutchison:

Grandma Hutchison's Christmas Graham Crackers

Ingredients
24-30 graham crackers
1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup raisins
2/3 cup slivered almonds
1 cup candied fruit finely chopped 
 
Directions:
Line a cookie sheet with foil, folding up the edges. Grease the foil (optional).
Arrange crackers on foil- dont leave any spaces.
Sprinkle fruit and nuts evenly over crackers. In a saucepan melt butter, over low heat. Don't boil.
Add brown sugar and bring almost to a boil for 3 minutes. Glaze should look like fudge.
Remove frrom heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour over nuts fruit and crackers.
Bake at 400 for 7 minutes.
Cool 15 to 20 minutes then cut



 This week, I also made a new dog sweater for Dakota (Lenny's family dog). Here is Sally modelling it in Various stages of Creation:
