Amazing to think you have two older/older grands, we only see the younger ones, your alphabet boys. You have a beautiful family. Reading your post and all of the comments, I am wanting to bake some scones, but must wait now until tomorrow. The cranberry ones that you can freeze? I must look them up. We are not buying each other anything for Christmas. We just want each other and I want to hear from each of my children. That would make my Christmas, it truly would. I feel for families today with all the pressure that is on them from the media to buy, buy, buy. That is not what Christmas is supposed to be. It is supposed to be about love and family and togetherness. Off my soapbox now. Love you Monique. I hope and pray you have a truly lovely Christmas filled with love and joy and peace. xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-12282860392121321832016-12-11T22:50:13.235-05:002016-12-11T22:50:13.235-05:00Well I would take the tomato but Jerry would just ...Well I would take the tomato but Jerry would just want a bacon sandwich😬. I so have to clean out my basement so I can collect new "stuff" but that won't happen too soon. I must admit I am struggling to get into the holiday mode. Still adjusting to what life will be like here in the states come January. At least the grandkids keep me smiling. No Hobby Lobby here, so I'll make do with my plastic measuring spoons that snap into one another and don't get lost. I'll look up Ina's recipe too.Terrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600376549034269641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-64604753745530864272016-12-11T21:40:39.200-05:002016-12-11T21:40:39.200-05:00Have you tried the Ina Garten ones?

Shortbread cookies are the best. Those cookies look good but I'm not a fan of almond extract. Do you think if I were to substitute say 1/4 cup of almond flour and reduce the regular flour and add vanilla extract I would get that almond taste or should I substitute more almond flour?Terrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600376549034269641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-946408906259322162016-12-11T18:04:52.929-05:002016-12-11T18:04:52.929-05:00You too Linda!You too Linda!La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-12970648018057741052016-12-11T16:05:10.979-05:002016-12-11T16:05:10.979-05:00Special post with lots of cute photos of the famil...Special post with lots of cute photos of the family.
