Wow wow wow, this came at the perfect time! I’m looking for a cookie recipe to be hand carried over from Singapore to my Thai counterpart! Brilliant! Thanks. I’m loving it!

Pam: I saw that woman-gets-arrested-story! You can bring me and Greg some scones in jail…with a mini-saw in them.

Kathy: thanks for sharing the recipe.

Pumpkin Petunia: welcome! Profiles in Courage is certainly worth the risk. And please! No judgment here.

Profiles in Courage. Isn’t that awful? But I just couldn’t part with it. And buying a shiny new one (was it in print at the time? I’m not sure) would not have helped as the folded corners and worn pages and traces of those who read it before me were so much a part of the read for me. I was young, don’t judge me. : )

I LOVE Spritz cookies, also love almond flavor so when I make them I use approx 1/4 tsp LorAnn almond oil (VERY STRONG). My mother’s recipe:

Marilyn,
I will visit you and Greg in jail. Better yet, Josie can come to stay with us until I get the cash together to come and post your bail …….

Hmmmmmmm. Let’s just say of all of the people in my household, I am the least likely to have a fine at the library. One of the others in my household, I have a little control over (and she keeps her library receipt on the frig so I can remind her when they are due) so I’m pretty sure she doesn’t either. The other one in our household…………would be the one. Maybe I better start looking thru our thousands of books and make sure they are actually ours!

Jo: yow! I can’t believe it came to that. Well, you’ve got bigger (much bigger!) fish to fry right now.

Boy: you’re not the boss of me, priggy little archivist man! I am totally outing your secret identity. And mentioning everything you ever “borrowed,” too.

Marilyn: I don’t know; I still don’t have a copy of that degree I earned, because the whole having-a-book-out thing put a hold on my account. They won’t let me have it until I pay up. (Although, to be fair, I’m not going to need that piece of paper anytime soon, either. Not for anything more than decoration, anyway. Not like you have to show the certificate to apply for a job.)
