Recently I saw over on Lorrie's blog, Fabric Paper Thread, that she had made Hob Nobs which are a delicious cookie somewhat like a digestive but with oatmeal in the recipe. I thought I'd give them a try. They are meant to be thin, and once they are cooled covered with chocolate. Mine spread quite a bit but turned out very well I thought. A bit more work than usual cookies but worth the bother. They are delicious right out of the freezer ( ask me how I know this).
Yesterday's trip to look for flowers was successful ( except there were no tomato plants that I could see)
There's even a little pot of Basil ( on the left). For now I'm going to enjoy most of these inside either in the sunroom or on the enclosed porch. Once the nights are less chilly I'll put them into the ground.
Thanks for visiting
Enjoy your new plants and flowers, your cookies, and your Easter celebrations.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
I wish I could send you some of my Tomato plants! So many grew and I dont need all of them!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are pretty and the cookies look delicious. I smiled as I pictured you eating a cookie right out of the freezer - I do the same thing with brownies. I find I like them better frozen.
ReplyDeleteYour little comic would be funny if it weren't so true . . . LOL. I think that was my picture looking at the plants that I would kill. It's good to be able to laugh about life. Last night I took two neighbors with me to Good Friday service. I dropped them off at the door and then found a place to park. When the service was over one of the ladies couldn't find her phone. She said that she took it out right as she was going into the church and turned the ringer off and the other lady agreed and said yes she saw her do it. So we had everyone looking all over between where we sat and the front door. Then someone ask me if I checked my car? Well, of course not, because they both had the same story, they saw her turn the ringer off as she was coming into the church. Well, I went to the car just to satisfy this person and sure enough there it was on the floor of the back seat in my car. We laugh so hard, because it wasn't just a senior moment but an agreeable double senior moment, LOL.
ReplyDeleteEASTERBLESSINGS to you and to all you beloved! I see you found beautiful plants for your garden. The Basil has to stay in some warm air, so you will care for him as experienced gardener. LOVE LOVE LOVE LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT Praise the Lord!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Granny! Your cookies look and sound delicious. I love your flowers too. and those little chicks at the end..oh my....I can remember when those were out with the cute little bonnets. Takes me back more than a few years. Happy Easter to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers – great cookies – Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteA hug from Viola
Easter bonnets! The children still make them at primary school!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe you have ever baked anything that didn't turn out just perfect. The cookies look delicious! The plants are so pretty, and those three little chicks at the bottom just made my day. Thank you for visiting my blog. It's so good to visit with you again.
ReplyDeleteLots of flower planting going on here. Your cookies look delicious to me! Happy Easter 🐰
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photos. Happy Easter to you ❤️ 😊
ReplyDeleteLove Lorrie's posts, and those cookies do look delicious! Nice to have them frozen, and ready to be heated and eaten! Loved your cartoon about the flowers. I raise my own in the greenhouse, and wait until May to buy flowers, if I do. But it sure is tempting! We had lows of 22 here several nights last week. No hurry yet to plant, lol! Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeleteYou got a nice collection of plants. Maybe the tomatoes will come a bit later. The chicks in their Easter hats put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon about plants you will kill had me laughing so hard! I will kill them all because I am not good with plants. I am, however, very good with pets, as I have had cats most of my life...cage birds, such as finches, as well. I currently have two zebra finches, male, though, because I didn't want to breed, just enjoy their company. The cookies look soooo good! I had to come back for a second look, and I wanted to say that your blog header is so stunning and heartwarming! Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you tried the HobNobs. I made another batch recently and left off the chocolate. Not quite as sweet.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many plants in my greenhouse just now, and lots of tomatoes. I'll share them with my children. It's still too chilly to plant them outside here. I always wait until the May long weekend.
Your plants that you purchased are all so pretty and will add color wherever you have them. The Hobnobs look yummy!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Easter with your family.
You found nice plants and your cookies look delicious. Love the picture of the plants you kill ( it’s a bit like me 😂) I have not got the “ green hand” as we say in French!
ReplyDeleteLoved the funny - I forwarded it to Kate because I know she'll appreciate it!
