Renewing A Tradition - Day 81

Tonight a much loved tradition was renewed...Wednesday night dinner at the McCullough Garden Cafe.  My friends Sheri and David invited me to share dinner with them once again.  David began a new job several months ago and it has left him with far less time in the kitchen.  I was very honored to be included tonight.  He made homemade Chicken and Dumplings with veggies from his garden and homemade applesauce.  Yum!  I brought six different cupcakes from Blue Bird Bake Shop.  We cut them into quarters and tried the different flavors as they made their way around the lazy Susan.  I needed this.  A relaxing evening with friends.

After dinner I headed home to bake for Diane, Carolynn and the rest of the Hot Pink Olives.  They are about to embark on their annual 3-day walk to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  For some unknown reason, I decided to experiment rather than go with a tried and true cookie recipe.  I threw together White Chocolate Peach Pecan Cookies and a tweaked  version of the Crispy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies I made this weekend.   I needed a taste tester, but Maddie would not cooperate and I was far too full.  Hopefully the cookies will taste as good as they look and smell.

Many hugs,
Kathy
