Holiday Party Tips
Saturday night I used my trusty GPS to get to a wonderful holiday party I might have passed up otherwise. I turned it on and followed a completely strange route to a distant suburb (telling myself I could call the host on my cell-phone if I got lost). As I came upon one unknown street after another, I listened to my kindly "guide" and actually arrived at my destination quickly with no glitches. It was a far more efficient route than I would have chosen.
There were no parking spaces in front of the home, so I parked down the block and unclipped the GPS. But in order to let possible thieves know it was not in the car I draped the empty cord (still attached to the cigarette lighter) over the windshield mounting.
One more tip--I then took out the small red plastic flashlight I carry in my purse and used that to light my way down the dark street to the party.
Here's another: My hostess gift was a plate of the most delectable cookies I've eaten this year, even though they were not the most elegantly decorated.
Here's the EASY recipe:
Swift Peanut Butter Cookies.
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Turn oven to 325. Mix ingredients together. Roll into balls. Place 2 " apart on cookie sheet,.
Flatten with back of fork, sprinkle with colored sugar or chocolate chips.
Bake 10-12 minutes (or until lightly browned and puffy.) Cool before removing from sheet or they will crumble.
Happy Holidays!

Sandy,
