Hazy, hot & humid.....

Good afternoon!  Raining, again, it is hot & humid, but I want sweet!!!!  Solution, No Bake Cookies!  Don't have to worry about heating up the house with the oven. 

 

The grands sure devoured these quickly.  I have been using the same recipe for years.  Not sure where I got that one from.  I have heard them called No Bakes and Missouri Cookies.  Here is what I do:

 

2 cups sugar

3 Tbls cocoa powder

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/2 cup milk

pinch of salt

3 cups quick cook oats (rice crispies are good also)

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla

 

In a large sauce pan, bring the milk, sugar, cocoa, butter and salt to a rolling boil.  Keep stirring, boil for 1 full minute.  Remove from heat and add the peanut butter, stir to be sure all melted.  Add the vanilla and the oats.  Stir to combine.  Using tablespoons, spoon onto waxed paper on a cookie sheet.  Let set in the fridge for about 30 minutes.  I do keep these in an airtight container.

 

Enjoy! 

Good afternoon.  Has been a few days, sorry about that.  Finished off bike week by flagging in the parking lot and got to watch all the interesting bikes that come to the area.  Was sorry that we were not able to ride like we normally do. 

Then on Monday, packed up the car & trailered up the bikes and headed to the ocean for the week.  Just love the Old Orchard Beach area!  It is the best of all worlds for me.  I get to have beach time in the morning, we jumped on the bikes and headed to Oxford Casino.  The honey ended up $27.00 in the hole.  While I came out with $200.00!!!  I was happy.  Normally I'm the one taking the honey's winnings and putting them back into the slots. 

Did some fishing on the jetty at Camp Ellis (you have to stop for breakfast at the tiny ass little store/restaurant that is right there, Trina cooks real good!)
Only caught 3 mackerels which the honey used for bait trying to catch the stripers.  He did catch 2 nice ones on the beach in front of our hotel. 

 

These always taste real good!!!!

 

So that is it for now, will leave with a few pics of the beach!

 

 

Friday Night

Good evening!  It is Friday of bike week (90th) and I actually had the night off!  Was able to take the bikes out (went away from the weirs!) and went for a nice long ride.  Stopped to have dinner at a diner and watched the bikes going by.  Did get a little bit wet, but we don't melt.  The Honey saw the clouds coming up and we stopped in time to put our jackets on before the downpour came! 
Real quick tonight, tired and ready to put my feet up.  Have a good evening all and ride safe!  :)

Good evening.  It is the middle of bike week here in the Lakes Region.  Of course, its raining, has been since last night.  Would not be bike week with out a bit of rain.  I have been working at my bro-in-law's parking lot.  So I have the awesome chance to watch all the bikes going by.  The people are all awesome!  I have never had an issue with anyone, always friendly.  I haven't had a chance to really ride yet with working but at least I get to ride to & from work.  Last week I made some goodies ahead of time to bring with me to work.  Chocolate chip cookies, brownies and some "brookies"  half brownie half cookie.  I found it on pinterest (doesn't that have just about everything!!!)  (That could be a blog all itself!).  Jocelyn over at Grandbaby Cakes put on these and are very good!

So, I'm tired, and am putting my bod to bed.  Tomorrow the bikes will be really coming in and I will be standing all day/night.  Ride safe & enjoy!
