these got me thru a situation where everyone around me was munching on stuff so I pulled my cookies out of my purse and was satisfied. I didnt have baking powder so I made mine with baking soda and they turned out just fine. These also saved me during a bout of fits and cravings the other night I rushed to my oatmeal and made a batch and ate them real slow with a cup of decaf and was a content as could be

Oh, my! Is that a leopardy ribbon that I see up there?

I wonder if PB syrup added to a Strawberry Creme shake would make a P & J flavored shake???

Leopard it is!! I was feelin' like a wild chick

PB&J...hmmmm that's a good one...maybe do half a vanilla shake with PB and half a starwberry shake with J and make a swirl...

Nothin' like fun with MF & Davinci

Oh - a SWIRLY!!

I must tell a cute little story about a little boy who was in my combination first-second grade classroom.

I absolutely loved this boy and ended up teaching him from 1st-5th grade and I also taught his two older sisters and brother.

His name was Lee ad he wore

little round eyeglasses with thick lenses that magnified his green eyes to humongous proportions.

He wore a green polyester leisure suit with a black bowtie and wrinkled slightly yellowing white shirt every Wednesday to school - it was chapel day.

He was always looked a little like Jiminy Cricket to me.

Usually in need of a haircut, his long front bangs often needed to be brushed out of eyes as he read and did his school work. When his Momma gave him a haircut, he looked very spiffy.

I suggested that he try some Dippity Doo to keep his hair back out of his eyes. I said I had some at home and would bring it to school or him to try.

I brought it in one of those teensy two tablespoon Tupperware containers and he loved it - he dipped, he doo-ed, he dippity-doo-ed his bangs and had them slicked over to the side like Alfalfa from Our Gang and he had a little quail-like head tweeter cow licky thing goin' on at the back part of his crown.

All too soon he dipped his last dippity and the bangs flopped forward covering his Mount Palomar lenses...

In my classroom, were two little potty stalls and a sink in between the doors to the boy's and girl's BR.

There was a mirror over the sink and the kids loved to make faces at themselves and

check out their loose tooth or a scab on their chin while washing their hands for lunch or after having visited the BR.

I had pepperminty soap in a cutesy little pig pumper bottle and a sign by the sink saying, "wash your hooves!" The kids would love to bubble up and wash their grubby little hands and smell like a peppermint patty after using the BR.

Ever the little dictators and mothers in training, if a boy dared to use the BR and return to his desk without having washed his hands in the pepperminty bubbles; a bunch of girls would pipe up and bark out the command,

"Wash your hands, Sir!"

One Wednesday morning, Lee went to the BR, made the stop at the sink and bubbled, emerged from the area with water dripping down the sides of his head onto his grasshopper leisure suit and returned to his desk with a very

wild updo - he looked somewhat like a combination of Bob's Big Boy and PeeWee Herman - I asked him about his "new" wet look hairdo. He replied in his high-pitched voice, very matter-of-factly, "Mrs. P. I did a SWIRLY"

The girls all had terrified looks on their faces as they came to grips with the fact that Lee had stuck his head into the toidy, reached up to the little chrome handle and flushed a new hairstyle into swirled spikedom....

and you wanna make swirled PB & J shakes? I think I'll pass on that one, Little Darlin'!

Ahhhhhhhh!! You are so wonderful... that was such a cute little story. Lee sounds like a Doll. I don't have kids (yet- Aunt to 4 though) but I can imagine I would have a real hard time letting sending little Lee all by himself to school in that little grasshopper suit with his thick little glasses & a swirly hairdo.... too cute for words!

I bet you are a wonderful teacher... you are to us!

Nancy, can you give me the recipe for the pancakes I have also heard others refer to also. Looking forward to trying the cookies soon.

Hi here, Miss B ~

I would

to send you a recipe for

pancakes but I don't have one - I suppose you could make the oatmeal cookies really skinny (thin batter!) and cook them in a pan sprayed with Pam or bake 'em on a cookie sheet.

Add a bit too much water or an excess of DaVinci syrup will do it...I love the Chai Spice DaVinci syrup...it is great in the Apple Cinnie Oatmeal & cookies.

I just made the oatmeal cookies with the Maple Brown sugar instead of Apple Cinnamon - yummy! I also used less Splenda - I am sensitive to it - and they are still pretty sweet. Just right with a cup of hot tea!

PS Nancy - the Otis comment was too funny

Yup, I think the Maple & BS oaties are plenty sweet w/o the Splenda, too.

Now if we can get the Food Court at the malls to bake Medi-oaties and pipe the smell of fresh-baked healthy cookies throughout the concourse, shopping for skinny clothes will be a lot more fun!

OK, these were delicious scraped off the foil I had lined the cookie sheet with (yes, I forgot to spray it first!). I only have one box of oatmeal that I ordered specifically to try the cookies, though, so now I need to get more.
