My biggest dream is to have a lazy river around my property. I think this would be AWESOME. 

Volunteer

One on the things that I believe we should all do is; Give back to our communities. Lets all volunteer !! It can be in the animal shelter, cleaning up the streets, anything you can think of. If you know someone that is struggling to make ends meet, buy them some groceries. If your money is tight spend time with the elderly. Time  means the world to  some people.

LET'S ALL GIVE BACK !!! 

 

Cookies - Thin Mints

How I love thee cookies. All kinds of cookies. One that I have love forever are Girl Scout Thin Mints. I have come across this recipe that I want to try and will try.

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/3 cup milk (any kind)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 tsp peppermint extract

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. With the mixer on low speed, add in the milk and the extracts. Mixture will look curdled. Gradually, add in the flour mixture until fully incorporated.

Shape dough into two logs, about 1 1/2 inches (or about 4 cm) in diameter, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1-2 hours, until dough is very firm.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Slice dough into rounds not more than 1/4 inch thick – if they are too thick, they will not be as crisp – and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cookies will not spread very much, so you can put them quite close together.

Bake for 13-15 minutes, until cookies are firm at the edges. Cool cookies completely on a wire rack before dipping in chocolate.

Dark Chocolate Coating

10-oz dark or semisweet chocolate

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Melt on high power in the microwave, stirring every 45-60 seconds, until chocolate is smooth. Chocolate should have a consistency somewhere between chocolate syrup and fudge for a thin coating.

Dip each cookie in melted chocolate, turn with a fork to coat, then transfer to a piece of parchment paper or wax paper to set up for at least 30 minutes, or until chocolate is cool and firm.

Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it smooth and easy to dip into.

Makes 3 1/2-4 dozen cookies.

Skydiving

I did not always want to sky dive but I had a few friends that went and they said they could not even describe the feeling that they had as they fell to earth. I watched their videos and decided I better do this or I will always wonder what that feeling was that they could not describe.
