It's a breezy chilly grey day here in Kansas City. I keep thinking about going out to rake leaves. After the last rain from a couple days ago, it seems all of a sudden everything is turning colors and leaves are dropping in bunches from the trees. But the breezes are strong today and leaves are being blown everywhere. So I think I'd better wait until the weather changes a bit in a few days.
That means I'm inside today, and I'm watching movies and making food. A new cookie has just been added to the menu and I'm making a batch today. These are butterscotch pecan cookies.
Roasted chopped pecans, butterscotch chips, vanilla, butter, brown sugar -- these are some of the ingredients which combine to make a wonderful complex flavor. I shape these into a rough rectangle and cut off slices for baking. The aroma that floats through the house as the baking nears completion is warm and inviting.
I like to crumble these over French vanilla ice cream. Sometimes I dip them in cocoa or milk. If you leave a plate of these out on the table, they will disappear quickly.
This weekend I will also be making a batch of a special pasta salad and taking photos in order to add it to the menu. The same thing will happen with eggnog, or I hope so, at least. I have ordered cups and lids that I think will work well and they have just arrived. If they perform as I hope they will, then eggnog goes on the menu. And eggnog cookies with a whipped eggnog frosting are coming soon. And also zimtsterne cookies.
Enjoy some good food today. And have a great week, everyone!
