My gift to you: Christmas Tequila Cookies

Christmas Tequila Cookies

1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup (two sticks) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit (dried cranberries or raisins)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups all purpose flour
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila (silver or gold, as desired)

First, sample the Cuervo to check quality.
Take a large bowl.
Check the Cuervo to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Pour another 4 ounces in a measuring cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer.
Beat one cup of the butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add one teaspoon sugar. Beat again.

At this point, it is best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK.
Try another 4 ounces, just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break two leggs and add to the bowl and
chuck in the cup of dried fruit, picking the frigging fruit off the
floor.
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers,
just pry it loose with a screwdriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift 2 cups of salt or something.
Check the Jose Cuervo.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table.
Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall
over.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and
make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

My New Year.

Well, here in Northeast Ohio, the new year ushered in some warmer temps!  After almost a month of not making it to twenty degrees we got socked with a warm front, of all things!   Alan was building his annual snowboard ramp in the front yard and with all the snow we’ve had, he had the starting point of the ramp near a height of about 4 feet.  I just went out and looked at it, it’s a pitiful foot or so high, lol.   In fact, it’s just about the last remaining remnants of snowfall on our entire street.  Green grass up and down and all around the neighborhood except for the pitiful remnants of the snowboard ramp.  *boooo*

Funny how Mother Nature does things.  Everything was so incredibly frozen for weeks!  Now it’s all thawed.  I wonder if that happens so that the animals and birds can get like fresh water and – you know – survive and all.    Either that or it’s nature’s way of giving us an opportunity to see all the piles of dog doo that were frozen for weeks under all that snow – and clean it up.  Or, get cars washed… take down the Christmas decorations without sliding off the roof and breaking our backs… all the stuff we need to do.   Other than all of the above, I’ve mainly been relaxing, lol.   I’ve eaten enough chocolates and nuts to choke a horse.  I’ve napped.  I’ve watched the kids play Wii.  I’ve kicked their asses on Wii bowling.  – OH, and I am good at the 100 pin game!  2684 is my score, baby!

New Years Eve I went to bed at 10:30.  lol.   Shane woke me at midnight for a wish and a kiss and then I remembered I wanted to participate in the One World thing and devote the first 11 minutes on 1-1-11 to thinking of those I love.  So I did that and fell back to sleep.  So far, it’s an EXCELLENT year – very relaxing!   I gave Alan a driving lesson and we went onto a main street for the first time God help me.   Then it was a prosperity meal consisting of pork roast, potatoes and veggies, and noodles.  Yup, it’s gonna be a FABULOUS year!

How’s your year going?  Funny, but I remember last year like it was just yesterday.  *snort*
