Thoughts................

Was thinking about how the President has canceled the American defensive missile project in Poland, to appease Russia - and the next day on the news programs we see Iran announcing that they now have the capability to make THEIR missiles!

But.........I will stop thinking about it right now, as thinking about what's going on in this government lately is giving me headaches. I need a break!

*************************************************************************************

How about this: a recipe! For all of you who would love a very simple cookie-type recipe, THIS is it. I clipped this from a newspaper quite some time ago (the recipe was from a Bette Lindmark of Lee's Summit,MO.), but have never tried it - until this past week. It is so quick and so good! Great for the kids' lunch-boxes.........

TOFFEE CRACKERS (Preheat oven: 350 degrees / ungreased jelly-roll pan)

40 graham crackers (I broke them into two)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup margarine (but I used a full cup of butter, instead of half margarine)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts

.....arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the ungreased pan, placing them close together so crackers touch
.....combine butter, margarine (or just one cup butter) and sugar in small saucepan
...heat to boiling over medium heat - boil 3 minutes
.....pour butter/sugar mixture over the graham crackers
.....sprinkle the nuts over the crackers and sugar mixture

BAKE: 350 degrees - 12 to 15 minutes

Immediately remove cookies from pan and place on aluminum foil to cool quickly - let cool before serving.

Trust me - these are SO good! :)

P.S. I also tried this recipe using plain and whole-wheat soda crackers - very good, too ....... a tad less sweet, but quite good. Next time I am planning to sprinkle some chocolate chips over half of the recipe - and think you can sprinkle about anything you want (except for that kitchen sink!) on them. :)
