The World According to Zed's Official Seal

I saw this idea of a seal at Chris' Some Guy's Blog site and decided to make one of my own. So apropos I think.


Okay, I'm heading to the kitchen now to make dinner and--are you ready?--a Food Network recipe for yummy super-delicious Butter Cookies as part of my reward for returning to my blog (I'll use any excuse to make these cookies--they are that good).

Too bad you're not currently in the tri-state. We could share...

No. They're all mine.

Oh, okay. But just two; one for you, one for Alexander.

Isn't he ever going to get over his shyness?

I think he wants the weather to be a bit warmer. Did you also get some cold yesterday? I had to put the duvet back on the bed, and I guess I don't blame Alexander for wanting to stay inside where it's warm...

See how smart he is, and he's not even out of the womb yet!

That was bad, Chris. Meow.

Shelli, I made 1/2 batch, 12 cookies, and I gave 4 to Tanya and Alexander, ate 4 (bad!) myself, and gave two neighbors 4. They're all gone--they're that good. But NEXT batch, you're first in line. :) (Hey, I missed seeing you around! Thanks for stopping by!)

Okay Dick, here you go (yum):

Food Network Basic Butter Cookies Recipe

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (sometimes I switch out the vanilla extract for pure lemon extract)

Bake cookies at 350-375 degrees, until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes total.

ZED'S WARNING: These cookies will absolutely, positively give you a fatal heart attack if eaten with any sort of regularity whatsoever.

Yep, that's what they called me: Gimpy. Well, not to my face anyway. :)

The legs are doing so well, Sushiboy. (Thank you Lord!) I'm now a total non-gimp--still wimpy, but not a gimp. Woo-hoo!
