I was so amused by Charlotte's name tag here... we'd gone to MOPS that morning and she'd insisted on writing her own name tag. I hope you can see it in the picture...John and Sarah having been staying with us for just a little while, and I think through the rest of our lives, we'll all call these the "no bake days". We've been making loads of batches of no bake cookies and we're now all happiest in sweat pants... I can't believe I'm admitting all this on the internet! Anyways! The point of this pitiful confession is that these really are sweet days. Yes, for obvious reasons (that each batch of "no bakes" takes two cups of sugar), but also the friendship, the hope of spring, and the late evenings spent telling stories and laughing until tears come... these are delicious days!
And to share the love:
2 c. sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 c. milk
5 tsp cocoa powder
slowly bring all these to boil-- let them boil for 2-3 minutes.
remove from heat and add:
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. oatmeal
mix it all well then drop by spoonfuls...
they'll harden (enough) in less than ten minutes!

YUMMY :) I am missing those winter blues/spring is coming...maybe days! I cant get away with sweats here now...its shorts already. Miss those LONG AK winters for the sole purpose of "feeling ready" for tshirts and shorts plus the extra cookie baking....its on to lemonade and cookie stands and walks around the neighborhood, cant be a winter hermit any longer! Glad you are making the most of it with no bakes, my fav.
