the beginning
Friday, February 15, 2008It is the beginning of my new project, which takes a lot of yarn. Twenty balls, to be exact. I am using color 24, green, same as the pattern calls for.
Debbie Bliss's Ruby. I started last night, haven't made much progress, but am just so happy to be working on size 8 needles. The only other person I have seen out there making this is Rebecca over at poshyarns. Ravelry only has Rebecca listed, also. Anyone seen it?
This weeks cookie: Mexican Wedding Cookies.
The recipe comes from a bakery in Florida that shared the recipe and is no longer in business.
1 cup butter :: 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for sprinkling :: 2 tsp water :: 2 tsp vanilla :: 1/4 tsp salt :: 2 cups flour :: 1 cup chopped pecans (do not chop too fine, lean on the larger side) Makes 12 cookies. Only,12!
Bake at 325 for 20 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar.
**Hide from kids, so there are more for you. Pull out dough from the freezer and bake those for them.**
My mother, sisters and I would have these in the morning with coffee and knitting. It really makes for a beautiful morning.
Enjoy your weekend!
