@lioness Peanut butter blossoms are a favorite around here. I either use dark kisses, or hugs. Both of my kids love white chocolate and dark chocolate. I will probably be making some this week, I am anticipating seeing my daughter. They have been socially distancing and are getting tested before seeing us.

@gingerw That's so nice that you are feeling so positive. The move was such a great thing for you.

@Erinmfs I am sure you cousin will enjoy them thoroughly, who wouldn't (except for my husband, he has a thing against anything with peanut butter).
I hope she did receive them. For some reason I sent a box of cookies to my son once in CA. They never arrived and I contacted UPS. They said they would send someone out to look for them! I felt like telling them to look for someone with crumbs on their face.

@contentandwell Those where my favorites haven't made them in years . DId you ever do buckyies sp? I like them also haven't made them either both with dk chocolate

I received my new Alegria shoes yesterday! They are TRAq shoes. They have sensors in them to count my steps. I tested them yesterday, but the count seemed to be off? Has anybody else tried these Allegria shoes? I spotted the brand at the shoe store in the subway in Rochester one day.

I'm strange I guess, I like peanut butter blossoms, I like peanuts, but I don't like peanut butter sandwiches. I messaged her son on Facebook, he didn't hear anything about her getting her cookies from me. I hope the nurses enjoyed the cookies and chocolates.

You ain’t just a Kidding Linda, ick yuck and gag. That stuff is vile tasting. However I think what I ate was really strong and I think it was old too. I can eat the dark chocolate kisses and the dark chocolate that comes in sees candy but I’m not gonna say it’s my favorite by a long shot. Do you eat that stuff because you really do enjoy it more or because it’s healthier? Be honest now.

I live in California too and love cookies and white chocolate. Just in case you get in a cooking mood and don’t know what to do with them feel free to send them my way. My favorites are white chocolate macadamia nut, snickerdoodles, chocolate chip or chocolate chip with M&M’s and molasses cookies are great but I’ll eat any kind of cookies.

@jakedduck1 Both it is good for you the antioxidents in the dk chocolate but taste sooo good

I've heard of buckeyes but never made them.

@Erinmfs Those shoes sound interesting. I never heard of them before. Are they also a shoe made for comfort and therapeutic or do they just replace a pedometer?

It's frustrating when gifts are not acknowledged. I used to bring my PCP a very nice bottle of wine at Christmas and some home-baked goodies for the office. He never once mentioned them. I always wondered if one of the office workers just took the wine herself. I didn't expect a formal thank-you note but an acknowledgement would have been nice.
My step-daughter is the same too. I used to spend a great deal of time purchasing gifts for her and her family - multiple gifts for each of them - and they were never mentioned -- they were out of state, so the gifts were mailed. I would have to ask my husband the next time he spoke to her to ask if she had received the gifts. She always had of course.

@jakedduck1 My mother loved dark chocolate so I was sort of brought up on it, which is not to say we never had milk chocolate. The woman next door used to visit her daughter who was in a sanitorium close to a wonderful candy store and she always brought white chocolate back to us. I really do love it. Taza has one that 95% cocoa and I love it. It's sort of pricey though.

My son's favorite cookie is an oatmeal bar with caramel and white chocolate layered in it. It is really, really good. For anyone who likes caramel it could be addictive so I only make it when he is around. I never had a snickerdoodle until a few years ago and loved them but I used nutmeg in them too because my daughter and I love nutmeg. Plus I put white chocolate chips in them.

Do I have you drooling? I have always been known as the dessert person in the family, I provided all of the desserts for big family occasions. I was also known as the Wine Diva but not anymore. ☹️ I never drank a lot but I really miss a glass of wine with dinner and I loved learning about wines.
