@ossobuco,

Sounds like a great day, osso.

Shopping therapy is good for the soul.

I wonder if Wassau will let me bring my new puppy in here. I hate to leave the little fella at home all alone.

At the moment, he's still small enough so I could slip him into a very large handbag, and he's very well behaved (apart from not being at all housebroken or even paper trained yet Laughing

). And there are so many dog lovers in here, I think they'd have a good time playing with him, and the experience would be good for the puppy.

Maybe, I should sneak him in, and, if Wassau objects, I'll just leave.

pickled mushrooms. I'd never heard of pickled mushrooms.

Really? I'm surprised about that.

I used to buy them at Trader Joe's, then I found out they are very easy to make, so I just made them myself. Haven't done that in a while. I had a good recipe somewhere, I'll have to search for it.

I can be happy woman just standing in an aisle, looking.

Me too.

Part of the joy of shopping is the joy of just browsing and looking, I can be very happy just looking at things.

Maybe I can join you and Diane on a future outing. You sound like kindred souls.

@firefly,

I used to go to one of the first TJs in the US, in westLA, but the one here is too far away for me here in land of sand. If you find the recipe, lemme know.

@firefly,

We're different humans, but appreciate each other except when we spat and even then we love each other. We know each other pretty well.

@firefly,

Surely Wassau will let him in, because they resemble each other - just look at the eyes.

@ehBeth,

I've heard the words, snickerdoodles. Past that, huh?

0 Replies

A snickerdoodle is a type of cookie made with butter or oil, sugar, and flour rolled in cinnamon sugar. Eggs may also sometimes be used as an ingredient, with cream of tartar and baking soda added to leaven the dough. Snickerdoodles are characterized by a cracked surface and can be crisp or soft depending on preference.
Snickerdoodles are often referred to as "sugar cookies". However, traditional sugar cookies are often rolled in white sugar whereas snickerdoodles are rolled in a mixture of white sugar and cinnamon.

Pepperidge Farm makes them

I bought them. Probably because the name intrigued me. I don't recall much of a cinnamon taste or sugar coating. I just didn't care for them all that much, but you might enjoy them.

@firefly,

We don't see many Pepperidge Farms products up here, which is ok as I don't find them a particularly good product line. I guess I may have to cave and bake some snickerdoodles if I can't find them in a bakery somewhere.

I definitely want a cinnamon taste if I'm having a cinnamon cookie!

A snickerdoodle

I totally love that name - snickerdoodle! Somehow I just cannot imagine going into a shop or cafe in the UK and asking if I might have a snickerdoodle? But - hey - anything goes here, within reason, so, please Wassau, may I have a snickerdoodle? Oh, and with a root beer please - not sure what that is, but I've always fancied trying it.

Of course you can hold the puppy, vonny. He wants to meet you too--just look at how fast his little tail is wagging as he's running over to you.

I'm glad it's such a nice day and that we can sit outside on the patio, where the puppy can run around, and play with his toys, and get to know everyone here.

Puppies are such a great mood elevator aren't they? I wonder if this one can work his magic on spendius and get that old curmudgeon to smile and be less grumpy? We'll see...
