Poker and Boobs

Yes, you read it right...poker and boobs.  Joe and I took a day trip to Lake Cumberland yesterday and spent the day on the lake with my sister Karen and her husband, Rick.  It was Poker Run...there was a lot of flashing of breasts (by others, not me!).  But Karen's were quite possibly the best....

I think she ended up with more beads than women who were showing the real thing!  Besides her beautiful breasts, she also made us all our own poker hats.

We had a great time, sun most of the day, plus a major thunderstorm but we had suits on so it didn't matter if we got wet!

I brought down some cookies from my recipe stack.  Consensus was everyone liked them but I had some issues, I either cooked them too long or not long enough, I couldn't get it just right.  I'm a pretty good baker but a terrible cookie maker.  I guess this recipe is a keeper:

Family Favorite Cookies

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used 3/4 cup ap flour and 3/4 whole wheat)

1 tsp baking powder

1tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup (2 sticks) margarine (butter)

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup crisp rice cereal

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup uncooked quick or old fashioned oats

Preheat over to 350 degrees.  In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.  In large bowl, with electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.  Beat in eggs and vanilla, scraping sides occasionally.  Beat in flour mixture until blended.  Stir in chocolate, cereal, coconut and oats.  Drop by rounded tablespoons 2 in apart on ungreased baking sheets (I didn't grease the first time and had trouble getting them off the pan so I greased up after that!).  Bake 12 minutes until lightly golden brown and edges look crisp.  Let stand on wire rack for 2 minutes.  Remove and cool completely.

Enjoy.  Now I'm going to go rest up and do nothing else today.
