Hey Lyn ~ When I was reading back I saw that you had made some cookies and froze the dough. Do you have to do anything special to the dough or do you just make the little dough balls and freeze them??

I flashed freezed them (I think that is what it is called). I used this recipe, but add a little butter-flavored crisco to make it more sticky....

http://www.30daygourmet.com/eNewsletters/Archived_Newsletters/Articles_November_2001/Stress_Ball.asp

they weren't really soft cookies when they were done, more like a round granola bar

....

But, I made a ton of little balls out of the cookie dough and set them on a cookie sheet. I then put a layer of wax paper on top of those balls and put the rest of my cookie balls on top....so it would take less space in the freezer. I put the whole pan in the freezer so they would get hard, stop sticking to each other and keep their shape and then, after we ate dinner I put all the cookie balls in freezer bags. Before I put food in the bags, I always write the type of food, date and the thawing/baking/reheat directions....I think if you put them in the bag without cooling/freezing they would all stick to each other and it would be more work to bake them later.

I like that idea because you can take out and just bake what you want. You don't have to make a big batch of cookies.

yep, and last night, after I cooked dinner, I just made enough cookies for us since the oven was hot. And then this weekend, if DH's friends come over, I can pop a bunch of cookies if they are several guys or just a few if they is only one or two extra guest

last week I made those ice cream shop pies that are on that website...they turned out too good, DH is rationing them and he didn't want me to take any to my sister's work crew

...but it was so easy the other night when my DMIL invited us over for hot dogs, I just brought a pie.

I didn't join or pay anything....I just went and looked at the free recipes...I am going to try the cheesy potatoe one and the broccoli soup too .

Lyn5 · Jan 20, 2006

I got a call about my car, brakes need to be fixed

I am not suprised...I actually figured it would need to be done soon....hopefully they will get done fast so that I can pick it up soon.

It is always something when it comes to the Car.
