OK, I tried the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with chunks of peanut butter cups, and they sucked.  They were too dry & not sweet enough, but I think I figured out why.   When I made the cookies the first time, I goofed them up a bit (I was in a hurry and on the phone), I  thought I balanced it out - however I didn't follow through on my corrections and only corrected the amount of butter after the goof up. So, I am going to make them AGAIN today with PB cup chunks in them.  I have updated the recipe to include my goof up. 

Next:  Remember my rose bushes?  I transplanted them from my neighbor’s house?  Remember?  I told you about them a long time ago, I thought they were dead, but a few of you told to be patient and they would come back next year.  I also did some research on the internet and found out you guys were indeed correct, they typically go into shock and come back the next season.  Something I read on the internet said as long as you see green in the stem of your bushes they should come back the next year.  All three of my bushes had green in the stems, so they were good.  Well, there is this one older Korean man that works the grounds of our neighborhood, he does all sorts of things, keeping the lawns mowed, sweeping the sidewalks (everyday), raking the sand on the playground and so on.  Anyway, he would walk by my rose bushes look at them and shake his head.  He ask me several times in Korean and in hand gestures if I would like him to pull my dead looking bushes up, I would tell him no in English and hand gestures NO, and to leave my rose bushes alone.  Every day I would see him walk by my bushes, stop and shake his head.  He could not stand them and it was obvious.   One day a couple of weeks ago I came home and he had pulled up 2 of my bushes and was working on the third.  Then he totally cleaned out my flower garden.  I guess he had enough and could not stand looking at my sad looking flower garden anymore.  I never see him walking by my house anymore.

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
