It won't cure your knee, but it will give you the courage to get to the doctor, and as an aside, a little strength to bop him/her if they don't give you an answer!

Jen, it's a double batch of Tollhouse, some with and some without walnuts.

Well I just had to try this recipe from one of my online food boards - marshmallow filled exploding cinnamon buns!

MARSHMALLOW CINNAMON ROLLS
Dip big marshmallows in butter, roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture, wrap in Pillsbury crescent rolls like diaper. Pinch edges REAL WELL. Dip in butter, place in muffin tins. Bake until brown and the marshmallow is melted. Frost with powdered sugar glaze. Hint: when baking place cookie sheet under muffin tin in case marshmallows explode.

A couple of them did explode, but those are the ones that taste extra yummy!

I'll have a cuppa hot cocoa and I'm set for the evening!

Walnuts? Did someone just say walnuts?

You won't believe this, but we actually have a non-cyber walnut tree in our back yard and I have bags and bags of dried walnuts. I just tasted one to see how they were and they are still nummy. So please feel free to use some of my Oregon walnuts in your cookies. That sounds like just the right combination.

For our newcomers - please don't feel intimidated by the joke requirement. It can be as simple as this....

What do you call an unemployed jester? ... Nobody's fool.

Why, those were Oregon walnuts, now that I check the bag!

Gosh, if yours are still in the shells, that's a job to keep Mario busy - anybody wanna supervise? Because I have a feeling we'll need to make up another batch of those cookies before the week's over!

And I'll even make some the way Ma liked 'em - with no (or few) chocolate chips, just walnuts. That one cookie, scraped from the dough left in the bowl, always was reserved for Ma, but this time, I'll make a whole tray of 'em.

Those Cookies and Hot Cocoa sounds yummy! I think I'd like some. It is so cold outside.

How is everybody tonight? Hope you are all doing okay. David, I hope your knee gets to feeling better. Maybe the Doctor will be able to help you. Please keep us updated.

I just stopped writing Christmas cards and thought I would drop by to see what is going on.

Well, first of all, I would love a cyber hug...........and then I can pass it on to the next person.

Chocolate chip cookies with WALNUTS! It always makes me nuts (forgive the pun) when people say they don't like nuts in cookies. Choco chip cookies just gotta have nuts in them.

Mario - isn't that cute - each one of your little fingers has a marshmallow on it. No - don't put them up your nose! Oh Mario, Santa is coming soon - and you had better be good - or no cherries in your stocking!

Okay ladies and gents. How is this one..

A pirate walks into a bar and sits down next to a guy. The pirate has a wooden leg, a hook for a hand and a eye patch. The guy next to him looks at him and says "wow,you must of been throgh a lot of adventures,how did you get your wooden leg?" So the pirate says "Well I 'twas out at sea and fell into the water and a shark bit off me leg." "Wow!!!" "So how did you get that hook?" "Well" says the pirate,"it was a nasty sord fight with Black Screwy Joe,and he cut off me hand." "Interesting," said the man. "and your eye patch?" "Ahh," said the pirate "a bird pooped in me eye." "I don't understand," the man said. "Arr," said the pirate "it was me first day with the hook."

Wenisrubber, with that entrance joke you'll fit right in with this crowd! I'm cookng a fresh batch of hot chocolate and coffee for the morning people to drop in. Mario, don't you think that santa suit is a little TOO big?!

**Killearn Kitties** · 12-07-2006, 05:19 AM

Oooo smells good, David. Could go some of that hot chocolate right now. After three magnificent bright sunny days, our rain is back this morning. Grey, grey and more grey!

Happy Thursday everybody! Cyber hugs all round.
