Bill Clinton's Oatmeal Cookies
"I don't know where Bill got his cookie recipe from, but they look vaguely familiar. These are straightforward good cookies. They have a slight twist in that the oats and the nuts are toasted before they are made into cookies. The flavor is very good."

Not tried & true by me yet.. I wanted to share this Amazon review: "Bill Clinton's Oatmeal cookies - The president could not eat chocolate, so Sherry wheeled out these delicious cookies. This is the first time I've seen it mentioned that the trick with oatmeal cookies is that you must work fast, or the oatmeal will absorb all the moisture and leave you with dry cookies."

Did you know that you can type in the degree symbol ° by holding down the Alt key and typing 248? Go ahead try it, I'll wait. Cool eh?
Just a note to anyone making my recipes. If you have taken pictures of them, please feel free to post them right away. I love seeing what others come up with and want them all posted.
Also, I am VERY slow to return Zmails. I'm sorry, but that's just how I roll. I will of course answer you if you have questions, but it might take a day.
Thanks! :)

I am also very glad to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I see His blessings in my everyday life. I am married to the love of my life and we've been together about 10 years. I always follow the rule of Faith first, Family second, Career third. Since I've had those priorities in order, everything has fallen right into line.

I have 4 children at home - 12, 10, 8, 6. My oldest son is 12 and has severe autism, and he lives with his father. I also have a baby boy - Furrynando. I think he gets the most attention.

I have fibromyalgia and I also have quite a few back problems. I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart :)
UPDATE:
I had my surgery! Oh thank God I can walk and sit and do so many things again. I finally have life to live!

My star system....
5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks!
4* = Very good, but needs 'something'.
3* = We ate it, tried it anyways.
2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead.
1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it.
I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over.
