I know that title doesn't scream delishousness, but they are so good!! I really don't know if that is the actual name for them, but it's what I call them. Yum-O!!

2 cups Sugar
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
5 1/3 cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Nutmeg

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix together first four ingredients. In seperate bowl, mix dry ingrediants, blend thoroughly. Add to sugar mixture alternating with sour cream. Divide dough in half.

The job hunt continues & food!

I didn't hear anything on all the resumes I sent out over the weekend....Bummer. I did go and fill out an application for a secretary position at a nursing home. That could be a good job and it's close to home, so that's a plus! There were two other ladies filling out apps as well, but I'm hoping they were applying for the nurse position. I know it's doubtful, but a girl can dream, right? The receptionist said the hiring lady was on vacation and it might be 2weeks before we{the applicants} hear anything.

If hubby ever gets home we are going to have a late dinner and watch a ne.tfl.ix movie. It has JG in it so it has to be good! =} I have ccoked up a feast of pico de gallo, gaucamole and enchiladas...all homemade and from scratch!! All of these great recipes can be found in my new favorite cookbook I recently bought it and was instantly hooked. I'm making my way through the book. I haven't cooked/ate anything I didn't instantly fall in love with. Her website has even more scrumtious recipes - DELISH!
