I'm not sure the effect will be as tastey w/o Nestles, but...everywhere I go I'm asked to bring a batch of my choc chip cookies. I know, I know, just choc chip cookies. But adding a little more flour takes theses babies from good to super. Recipie: 1 c. soft butter 1 c. dk brown sugar 3/4 c. gran sugar 1 Tb real vanilla Cream well. Add 2 large eggs, cream again. 2 3/4 + 1 Tb flour 1 tsp bak soda 1/2 tsp salt Add to creamed mix Add 1 3/4 cups semi sweet Nestles chips and 1 cup walnuts Put large golf-ball sized balls on baking sheet allowing plenty of room for spread. Bake 11-15 min or until done at 350. The key is the extra flour. It makes them stand up higher and spread less. The larger size makes them look gourment, like you bought them from Mrs. Feilds or some other such place. Let me know how they cook up over there!

Okay...I guess....you twisted my arm...<wink>

I know a Kell once, back in elementary school...she was a redhead. Do you look like your avatar??? If so, Happy Birthday tomorrow. If not, Happy Birthday anyway! ( A day early because you'll be sleeping soon???)

So you DOOOOOO carry them there? I'm utterly confused now...

WELL! <wink> That's okay. I'm just not sure how it'd taste w/o Nestles...

Do you all get Nestles Toll House morsels over in the UK? If you do, I'll post the best cookie recipie ever. Promise.

LOL! You're offering samples on your blog then??? I'm coming over for a a try. ( Just sounded kinda cute )

Mmmm...I only moved from So Calif to Utah and I miss good French bread! ( And fresh seafood!) I'd miss all of the variety I get when I travel out of state!

It comes down to that old industry word, "subjective" ...I guess, as a writer, I'm somewhat jaded.I'm so darned particular now, it's crippling!

Diana Setterfield.???

After being a faithful Nora Roberts fan for years and seeing her stories become stale and more importantly, overwritten, I can't bring myself to buy any of her new stuff. I do, however, continue to read her old works. She was an incredible craftsman: Honest Illusions being her most impeccable work to date.

Anybody else reading this? I'm 25 pages into it and yawning, supplementing my reads with gallons of Pepsi. Is this something that warms up as you go or is it hopeless???? Advise please.

You mean everyone ISN't named MICHELLE?LOLOL! Oooops....blonde blunder on my part. Sorry, all! I'll be better. No, I don't have an affinity for the name, either. Just a little loopey over here.

So many great suggs! Whatever shall i doooooo???? I'm off to Barnes and Noble to search. Thanks, all!

Thank you. I would say that I could pick one of my fav authors books that same way: everything good about their writing is in this book. Perfect!

Actually, I'm kind of skimming through the first chap here...and surprised to be doing so.

Thanks, I'll add that to my list as well!

Thanks, KELL! I'll look for it!

Drama. Exotic locale. Intense situations. Deeply woven characters. And all of this simply builds and builds in this war torn part of the world in such a way that your eyes are opened and you are unable to stop visualizing and thinking about these characters and their lives. I was so relieved to find out that they are going to make a movie out of it. I can't wait to see it! Hope you enjoy it. Tell me your feelings on it when you're finished.

Thanks, Michelle. I'll check it out. I've asked a lot of people this question and I never get the same book title from any two people -- he must have a lot of books that are good.

What would it be? having never read one, I 'm looking for suggs. Thanks in advance!

I just saw that one at a used bookstore and almost picked it up. I will now, at your reccommendation. I like to get reccs because ususally you get the pick of the bunch that way. Thanks, Michelle!

I've never read any Tess G. Is this the best one? Which would you reccommend, if you were to pick just one? Thanks in advance.
