Okay, this isn't as bad, but it's driving me nuts -- I put "B.B.?"
on my grocery list for today; I know it's something Christmas related
for Miguel (DH) or Buddy (DS), which is why I didn't write it out.
But now I cannot remember, and I'm leaving for the store soon. Argh!!
Baseball? Bilbo Baggins? Butter beans?

Sucks getting old(er)...

Don't you sometimes put things on your basement freezer and forget

If it were something small, I would suggest it's under
a magazine or something else that was recently moved
into the house or living quarters.

Because they're jars and you meant to hide them, a
different strategy must be used. You put them
someplace you don't normally put things.

This reminds me of an incident a few years ago
when some friends were about to leave, but the
husband couldn't find his car keys. I distinctly
said "Did you check all your pockets?" and he said
yes, but later it turned out the keys were in his
back pocket. I asked him why he said he checked
his pockets when he didn't check his back pockets,
and he said he doesn't normally put his keys
in his back pockets. His wife and I cracked up
over that one.

Some weeks later, the same thing happened, except
this time I said "Did you check the pockets you
don't check when you check your pockets?". He
checked his back pockets, and found 'em. His wife
and I cracked up even more over that one.

Oriental Almonds
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine_
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce_
1 teaspoon salt_
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Dash of hot pepper sauce_
1 (10 ounce) package Blue Diamond
Blanched Whole Almonds (2 cups) (mine were unblanched)

These were good:

Savory Cocktail Almonds

Posted by CookinMom at recipegoldmine.com April 27, 2001

1/2 cup whole almonds (with or without skins)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning (or use 1/4 teaspoon each of salt,
celery salt and onion salt)

1 teaspoon dry parsley flakes

Combine almonds and butter in saucepan or skillet; sauté over low heat
for about 5 minutes or until roasted, stirring often. Lift nuts with

mixtures; toss well.

If you want almonds that are more crisp turn seasoned almonds onto
cookie sheet and place in 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
Cool - store in closed jar to keep fresh.

These are Sandy's:

Good suggestions -- I never did figure it out. Oh well, I guess if it's

keep them safe from her husband's enthusiasm. She never did find them.
Not even when they moved.

Mom took a purse and a transistor radio (shoo-hoo!) away from me when
I was in elementary school. Never showed up, even when we gutted the
house 30+ years later, after Dad passed.

While cleaning out Dad's basement, my ex-sister finally found the
sterling flatware that she'd been coveting. Dad had hidden it for
safekeeping. In a cat litter bag. Full of used cat litter. I'm glad
she's eating with that stuff and I'm not!

In the bathroom under-sink cabinet?
Guest room closet or bureau?
In a shoe box in your closet?

For these, it's "cheap." I like Brach's' Bridge Mix but these PB
cookies deserve a real kiss. There's something about the stars -- i
think it's because they're not wrapped and they bump against each other
and get kind of a shopworn look to them.
Margaret doesn't consider either of them to be real chocolate, and
certainly not edible. Little do SHE know!

My Mom hid the silver in a trashbag between the washer and
dryer--in the basement that got flooded with backed up sewage.

My demented dad apparently had quite a bit of money, and he
hid it so well, we never found it. Maybe the folks who moved
into the house did when they renovated....

I like the original milk chocolate and the ones with almonds. But I
don't care for the other variations, even the dark chocolate ones.

I made peanut blossoms for a bake sale in October and they were the
first things to go.

1/2 cup almonds??? That's not even eough to fill a tooth cavity.
When I go through the trouble to make something like that, I measure in

You sure he didn't eat them? My hubby eats the stuff he's

Well, the stock answer here is "Up Ike's ass!"

I have no idea who Ike is. We did not name our son Isaac for this

They sometimes look like crap when you buy them, but once they're
baked and a little melty, everything evens out.

Beepity-bleep-bleep-bleep! I can't find my back-up disc. There's a
picture of a Peanut Blossom with a star candy on that disc. Grrr! If
I find it, I'll post it. They really make the cookies pretty.

ObHistory:
I try to find the source of as many of the recipes I use as possible.
The source for the Peanut Blossoms recipe is:

I made these last weekend and tried the mini Kisses on them. I always found
it awkward to try and get two bites on the cookie with the big kiss. Any
how the mini Kisses don't seem to stick to the cookie as well as the large
Kisses. Boy they do look impressive with the big Kiss on them.

I did experiment this year with 2 different Peanut Butter Blossom recipes.
The one I have I got in the 1980's and it's always been good. BUT I saw the
above recipe on the Mini Kiss bag and thought well maybe the recipe had been
improved. So, I made a batch of them too. The new recipe didn't seem as
good when I did taste testing with friends and my kids. Don't get me wrong
we're not throwing them out they are good, but they didn't taste as Peanut
Buttery as my first recipe.

No kidding. I made 2 cups worth. My little silver gift bags will
contain about a half cup each. It's all about looks on this one.

Nope. He swears innocence. And I believe him. (And they've been
found.)

Right. My Source: Pillsbury Flour recipe flyer -- in the 1960s? This
is the original recipe. Note: When dough is measured with a
half-tablespoon measuring spoon, this produces 60 cookies.
Note: It was one of the 100 finalists but didn't win anything. Heard
it on the news this week. Or maybe in last week's Taste Section - I
think that was it - it was about cookies. startribune.com/taste, I
think.

If there were such a thing as Mad Almond Disease,
I could tell you why this is happening. :-)

Well, there's your problem, now. They're bite-size cookies. You didn't
know that, I see. Now you do.

Not bite size for me. My mouth isn't that big. Now my teenage son...
that's another deal. He thinks 2 to a mouthful is just right.
