10 Things Tuesday 3-6-12

10 Things Tuesday is a blog hop/party that is to help inspire ideas, grow your blog audience and foster new blog friendships.

Today the theme is:

 10 Things You Can't Live Without.

10.  My computer.  How else could I keep in touch with all my friends and family far and wide?  And how else could I possibly waste so much time surfing, pinning and posting?

9.  Family and friends. You know who you are. 

8.  Coffee.  I just love it so much.  It's even better when enjoyed with some of the fore mentioned folks.

7.  My boots.  Currently my favorites are seemingly surgically attached.

Friendship Friday 3-2-12

Question Of The Week
What Is Your Favorite Blog Post That You’ve Ever Written & Why?
Share Your Thoughts!

Before I started Blessdom, I had a blog called "Legacy".  I had maintained that blog for about 5 years.  

My favorite post is from that blog.  It's called, "Excuse Me, I Don't Want to Go"

It was a reflective post about my struggles with loneliness and depression.

It's always been one of my favorites mostly for the way my thoughts flowed that day.  It just felt like some of my best writing.

Please check out some of the other friendship friday posts!

Homemade Oreo Cookies

 
Homemade Oreos  
(recipe from Smitten Kitchen)
Adapted from Retro Desserts, Wayne Brachman

Let’s talk about the sugar for a minute, shall we? This is a sweet cookie. A good, sweet cookie. Yet, if you think of an actual Oreos, the wafers are fairly un-sweet and actually on the slightly salty side, which contrasts with the super-sweetness of the filling bringing harmony, happiness, yada yada. If you want your cookie closer to that original, you can take out a full half-cup of the sugar. If you want to make the cookie by itself  go ahead and use the full amount.

Makes 25 to 30 sandwich cookies
