What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!! If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...
These are soooo awesome! I love eggnog and these cookies capture the essence of that holiday flavor perfectly. One of my co-workers liked these so much that he asked for the recipe and had his wife make more for him the next day!
ReplyDeleteThey are SOOOO good! I'm so glad I found them and if you pick up some of that egg nog from TJ's I might make you a batch. :)
DeleteI think this may be my favorite of the year too. I'm firmly in the eggnog lovers camp, but I buy light eggnog and then cut it with skim milk. The idea of that flavor in a cookie makes me really happy. Plus this year I found light, pumpkin spice flavored eggnog so I'll totally be trying a batch with that.
ReplyDeleteYou'll thank me later! :)
DeleteHmm..not a fan of eggnog but might have to try these for the nutritional value...83 calories for a cookie..heaven!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely and I think you'll actually like the taste. More nutmeggy than anything.
DeleteLOVE eggnog. I'm a junkie thats why I stay away! I never really knew there were people who didn't like it ;) I'm not a baker, but you're inspiring me! Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you make 'em, they yummy!
DeleteI am in that camp with you, sister. I can't stand the thought of drinking the stuff, but eggnog flavored cookies? YES PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'm hungry now!
DeleteI am definitely a NON-egg nog lover. Can't stand the oopy, goopy stuff! I'm a bit too skittish to try the enhanced stuff too :/
