These cookies always make me drool Michelle. So delicious looking and here I am trying to stay away from sweets for a little while. I am just sugared out.
The Philly's your hubby used to get at Giatano's sound familiar. I think Giatano's had a brief stint on Food Network. Larry is from Chicago and LOVES his Philly's so getting them right was important to me. I practiced with a quite a few variations before finding the right one for him.
How the heck do you start playing World Cafe? I downloaded the program thing I think but how do you actually go and start a cafe?
BTW, Friday, I am purchasing a program called Artiseer 2, used for putting blogs together the easy way. I was learning actual computer programming language to create a blog layout and short circuited. This program is amazing! Oh, and I have got to show you my new aprons I have been trying to sew. Red rose fabric and cute rhinestone buttons on the top front. So cute!
Talk to you soon, Shandy

These cookies look good and sound good. I guess I have to make them to find out if they taste good. Now, that is a good idea.
