Chicken Stroganoff ...p77

Pleasantly simple and absoLUtely delicious.  What more can I say?


Well, ok, for posterity's sake, 
I'll tell you Tricia's favorite 
mushroom joke.
This is for you, Trish!


A mushroom goes into a bar and sits down to order a drink. 
The bartender walks over and says, ''I'm sorry sir, but we don't serve your kind here.''

The mushroom sits back and asks ,''Why not? I'm such a fun guy (fungi)!"

Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies ...p101

Ok, I'm prejudiced.  Of all the cookies I've ever had these are my main weakness...so this was Wedding Cookie #3.  Equestrian and friend, Donna Glanville, gave me this recipe years ago so to her, I will always be grateful both for my time with her horses and eating these cookies in her kitchen....

Spend the time beating the cream; it makes a difference to the texture.  And you don't have to use the ice cream scoop unless you're indulgent!  I make up for down-sizing them by having twice as many......

And, incidentally, if you've already tried to make these and wondered at the small amount of flour - your instincts were right - the recipe in the book has a typo.  Be sure to correct it (recipe follows).
