Today, My Mom and I turned on the Christmas music and baked cookies for my Aunts and Uncles, a family friend and our mechanic. We made sugar cookies and decorated them, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookies.
One set of cookies ready to be delivered tonight.
For supper, I experimented and made something similar to hamburger steak. I made hamburger patties and seasoned them with Italian seasoning. I sauteed onions and when the hamburgers were done, I added mozzarella cheese on top and let it melt. It was a nice change from regular hamburger steak. I made pan fried potatoes.
Pan fried potatoes recipe
Peel and cut potatoes up into thin circular slices.
Boil them in salted water until tender but not falling apart.
Drain the water.
Add oil in a pan, transfer the potatoes over and fry, turning regularly,until golden brown. Best if you use a pan with lid and keep the lid on in between stirs.
You can add butter to them when you take them off the stove or without it is good too.

It is very cold here and getting colder as the night goes on. It is 23.3 F right now. Brrr!
I didn’t feel very well Friday and Saturday but today I have felt better.
Tonight, My Aunt gave me a few things that reminded me of my Grandmother. She made chocolate oatmeal cookies and sent us some crème drops. My Grandmother always made chocolate oatmeal cookies for me and my sister. We always requested her to make those and biscuits with tomato soup. It was our favorite!
My Grandmother’s favorite candy was crème drops.
Armando took some beautiful pictures at Lake Guntersville today. Check them out here.
Last night I had an awful dream/nightmare. It seemed so realistic! I dreamed that I was in a doctor's office and the doctor was telling me that I needed brain surgery. I was in shock and asked him if there were any other options? He said no. I remember going to the Operating Room feeling very nervous. (I've been through many surgeries so that would be nothing new to me, but this was freaking me out.) I was having a hard time coping with what could go wrong and happen to me before I woke up. Then I remember coming out of surgery ok but then being concerned over my shaved head.
I don't know what brought that nightmare on. I remember reading an article the other day in Discover magazine about a new technique being used to put electrodes on the brain to stimulate people who have had a brain injury. Could it be that somehow got me dreaming about brains, or rather, my own brain? No idea. It was weird.

The hambuerger where so good darling, very good idea. and they go very good with those potatoes. thank you very much
well, armando can have the burger, but I want to be on the cookie delivery list! they look sooooo yummy.
I checked out the lake photo of armando's -- very rich.
the nightmare could be from the article or if you ate something different before going to bed.
On another note, if you want to call in the afternoon, please do. I forgot about you working nights.
