Weekend 12.1-3

AMISH OATMEAL COOKIES

3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups Crisco (shortening) (or lard!)
1 1/2 cups raisins
2 1/2 cups oatmeal (quick-cooking)
1/2 cup dark molasses
4 eggs
1 cup peanuts (salted)
1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
2 tablespoons baking soda
2 tablespoons baking powder
6 cups flour
1 teaspoon each of nutmeg, cinnamon and salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use shortening to lightly grease cooking sheets (too much goop and the cookies spread out too much).

Grind raisins and peanuts.

Sift together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.

Cut in Crisco using a pastry blender; add sugar, oatmeal, raisins and peanuts and mix well.

Dissolve baking soda in sour milk and add molasses and 3 of the 4 eggs (beaten).

Chill one hour.

Using your hand, roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut and press slightly flat.

Beat the last egg (add another one if you need to) and paint the top of the cookie with egg.

Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown (8-10 minutes).


Now this is a happy baby:

Thursday 11.30

That link for the bizarro Christmas-inflatable displays we mentioned is www.kingdomofinflatables.com.

Wednesday 11.29

Our "Random Acts of Kindness" begin on Thursday, with our street team anonymously helping make people's holiday seasons a little bit better here or there. If you can provide a tip as to where our street team might go...no promises, though...email us at morningmix@mix97fm.com.

Tuesday 11.28

Holiday Time-Waster / A Christmas Story homage: now available at www.dontshootyoureyeout.com.

Monday 11.27

Regarding the interview we did last week about the "Would You Rather" game: you can find it via www.zobmondo.com.

Weirdest hunting accessory ever: SeasonShot. Shoot and season your deer (or turkey or whatever) in one shot.

We'll put up the Holiday Parking Decree tomorrow right after the show! (UPDATE: Er, make that Thursday.)

Weekend 11.24-26

Morning Mix Holiday Parking Decree is coming soon!

Wed/Thu: 11.22-23 - HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Morning Mix will be back on Friday...until then, here's some helpful Thanksgiving ideas on how to carve, how not to stress out (from Dutchess County's own Dr. Joyce Brothers!) and what to do with the leftovers.

That stuff about the tryptophan in turkey making you sleepy is a load of nonsense. It's mainly the carbs and the alcohol doing it to you. Also the Detroit Lions.

Monday 11.20

Click here for more info on those cushy new Charmin-sponsored public restrooms in Manhattan. Meanwhile, if you're going to the city for the holidays but won't be in that part of town, watch this page and we'll have other updates on where you can find decent public restrooms in the city.

Weekend: 11.17-19

Here's a great list of kitchen tips for parents of toddlers...even the little ones can pitch in and have a great time doing it. (hat tip: www.littleredrobin.com)

Thursday 11.16

Yay for the suburbs!

Wednesday 11.15

We at the Morning Mix are confident enough in our masculinity that we can state that Eliot Spitzer looks far better in a swimsuit than we do. Rrowr!

Tuesday 11.14

We're overdue for some at-work time-wasters...if those lazybones over at the Wall Street Journal have time to goof off, then so do you!

Monday 11.13

Oh, heck...here's a hint for the Five Question Quiz, but only in the most nebulous sense of the word "hint":

In every Five Question Quiz there's at least one question whose answer is related to something or somebody in the Hudson Valley.

"Mambo # 5", the Bob The Builder version.

The squiggly little line on this aerial map is a road, believe it or not.

Weekend: 11.10-12 - HONOR A VETERAN THIS WEEKEND!

And here's a link to the new National Purple Heart Hall of Honor in New Windsor. 845-561-1765 for more info.

As usual, The Onion has the most accurate campaign analysis.

Thursday 11.9

Friday on the Morning Mix, it'll be an in-depth discussion of potty training. Mr. Jones is paying his three-year-old daughter Maria a quarter each time she uses the potty and cleans up after herself without prompting. Miller thinks this is an outrage (mainly because he's only giving Sal a dime and doesn't want the market driving his costs up). Talk it up Friday morning on the Morning Mix!

Wednesday 11.8

Congratulations to Hudson Valley congressman-elect John Hall...he'd be the one in the middle of this classic 70's album cover.

And given the last Congress' reputation, let's just be clear right now that those other guys are the rest of the band, and not pages.

Here's some pics of Miller back on Saturday at Terra Nova Four Seasons Pizza in Kingston. (He kept his shirt on, thank goodness.)

Tuesday 11.7

Be sure to check out the Morning Mix on Wednesday morning for all the results, plus lots of semi-informed pontificating from Miller and Jones! Was Miller serious about running for office? You'll have to keep listening.

Holiday Parking Decree '06 is in the works.

Mr. Jones is psyched: Genesis is back together again, with plans for a US tour some time...next fall?

Monday 11.6

A funny one from Friday night's Air Force-Army game...

Thursday 11.2

Mmmmm...bacon-flavored bubbles.

Wednesday 11.1

For next Halloween, that website we were talking about that sells old-school candy is www.oldtimecandy.com. All hail the mighty Zagnut.

Interesting tip if you work at home: on how to beat boredom from the "2 Minute Commute" blog.
