It's been a lovely, quiet Sunday afternoon. A friend gave us some 'melt in your mouth' shortbread cookies and they are not going to last long. Better still, she gave me the recipe and it's so simple. The secret is 454 grams of unsalted butter, of course. Now my sister wants to know how many cups that would be. This friend was telling me she put herself on the 'do not call' list and it has cut down on her telemarketing calls quite a bit. The people that are currently getting through will still be able to do so, but any new ones won't. I'm thinking about doing this.
L almost made it to the final of some tennis tournament this afternoon and is currently very miffed. The good part is she's now home and can start that homework.
M went to get the Festive Swiss Chalet Rotisserie Chicken special for our supper. It comes with 4 little packs of assorted Lindt chocolates, stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Hey Christine
I just made the Shortbread and will cook it tomorrow the real secret is icing-sugar and use 1/4 less the flour and replace it with rice flour!
We don't get all those telemarketing calls because we have digital phone! The other nice advantage is that all calls in Canada and the USA are local calls.
Hope you have a great Sunday
You make me hungry when I come here. Love shortbread too. Sounds like K is competitive - something that will be a good thing in later life. Hope you have a good week.
Mom, that rice flour idea is interesting (I'm thinking about people who can't eat flour for example). I also have to learn more about digital phones, thanks.
Lilly, I've found not all shortbreads are equal, so when I find a 'melt in your mouth' kind, I take notice.
