Oh, I forgot to tell you about this!
So “we” decided to try something new. Grilled peppers. Of course it started with a trip to Williams Sonoma to get this special pepper holder griller thingie. SuperGuy likes going to Williams Sonoma almost as much as the toy store hardware store.
They (SuperGuy and Texas Boys) wanted to get the super duper secret double probation pepper corer. But, alack and alas, they were out of that little gadget.
Looks, yummy right? Stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese and I don’t know what else. Grilled right there on our Weber grill.
Have a wonderful and relaxed weekend. I usually like to give you a hint about what Monday’s post is going to be about…but… I. Have. Not. A. Clue.

Admit it…
these just make you want to run to your kitchen and bake an apple pie, don’t they? Pies are one of my claims to fame in the kitchen. Bake them from scratch. Darn good at them if I do say so myself.
As a total aside…do you notice the hint of reflection in the silver bowl of my kitchenaid mixer in the background? Yep, I’m out trying to get that perfect reflection shot for this month’s contest too.
As another total aside, I love my camera. This was shot at 6400 iso with my macro on f 3.2. My camera rocks the high iso.
Okay, back to the subject at hand…do you bake pies from scratch? Or what is your kitchen claim to fame? Tell us!

This recipe has been in our family for generations. It makes the best oatmeal cookies ever. Really.
1 1/2 cups flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 t cinnamon
3/4 cup shortening (I use butter, I’m sure my grandmother used lard…)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3 C Old Fashioned Quaker Oats (you can use Quick, but I prefer Old Fashioned)
couple tablespoons of powdered sugar for flattening cookies
Makes about 3-4 dozen, depending on size.
Cream shortening, both sugars, and eggs. Preferably in a lovely KitchenAid mixer. I heart my Red KitchenAid mixer. (Yes, I realize my grandmother mixed her cookies by hand, but I had to go tangential there for a minute. They are still authentic traditional oatmeal cookies if you use a mixer. Trust me!)
Add the rest of the incredients (except the powdered sugar). Mix well. Drop cookies onto greased cookie sheet.
Put some powdered sugar in a bowl. Try not to makes a mess like I did.
If it’s Christmas time and you use a red bowl, so much the better. 
Flatten the cookies with a fork dipped in powdered sugar.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Serve with an ice cold glass of milk. (and if you think that’s all the cookies I ate, you’re sadly mistaken! 
) You can also substitute a nice glass of wine for the cold glass of milk. Both work well as a side beverage. 
Enjoy.
