Shortbread Caramel cookies
Shortbread Caramel Cookies
Ingredients
35 unwrapped Kraft caramels
1/4 cup water
1 box Nabisco Lorna Doone shortbread
2 12 oz bags milk chocolate chips
Preparation
Combine the caramels with the water in a small pan and melt over low heat. Place the shortbread cookies side by side on an ungreased cookie sheet. Spoon a little of the caramel onto each cookie. Place all the cookies in the refrigerator until the caramel firms up. In a double boiler over low heat, melt the chocolate chips. You may also use the microwave for melting the chocolate. Just zap the chips for 1 minute on high, stir, then zap them for another minute. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator. Rest each one on a fork and dip it into the chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the pan or bowl to release any excess chocolate.
Place each cookie on a sheet of waxed paper and let them cool at room temperature.

It says: Write it on your heart that the ones you love are life's most precious gifts.

WHAT FUN
Yesterday I had such an exciting day. I drove about 50 miles to get private lessons on my Silver Reed 860 and especially help with DAK. I learned so much in the three hour session! If you have never heard of the Fine Line http://www.finelineca.org/ . What a great place. One room was full of knitting machines, another full of weaving looms. I will be trying some things out and then post pics.

Sun Tea with Mango Syrup
On the machine needles
The colors are not too good in this picture, but I have a yellow loose-knit top that I am experimenting with on the needles. Bottom up, tension, adjusted down as I go. I hope it will be a loose short-sleeve top for over a cami. Tamm Estilo yarn.

starting over and over
I didn't like a design band I did on my husband's sweater so I started over. I also started over on the surprise spring shawl kal, gave up and quit, started over again and well, still going on it. Pictures to follow.
