That's essentially the recipe my mother used all the time. They're great. She always used shortening. Nice and crumbly. My sister mixes butter and shortening. I usually use the butter flavored shortening. Also she never added the salt. Peanut butter generally has enough salt and if you use salted butter, that too has salt in it but use if you like. A suggestion to speed things up, just grab a bunch of the dough and roll it in your hands into a log shape about 1"-1 1/2" or however big you want them, then break off the pieces and set in the pan. Take the fork and go at them. My mother's recipe said to dip the fork in flour but I usually touch the fork to the dough then dip it in sugar. As you're breaking off pieces, usually 2-3 in the pan and one in the mouth. Love that peanut butter cookie dough!

Thanks, Glenda. Oh, was that ever a treat. I think I enjoyed the pedicure the most. That and the chair with the roller than goes up and down your whole back! Ahhh! Now I'm all gussied up and ready to go. We split an Italian sub and had some Muncho's with it.

Thanks, Glenda--sure appreciate it. We left home at 8 this a.m. and didn't get home until 6:30. It was a long day--mostly waiting. I did fine--the picc line is my new BFF. Now I don't have another appointment until I start radiation Aug. 1. I don't want to think about doctors, sickness or anything but everyday stuff for the next week. What a luxury it will be. Y'all ate really well--but, then, you always have great meals. Almost for got. Stopped at Wendy's. I had a junior cheeseburger and Harry got the new pretzel bun burger and liked it a lot--especially the bun. Thanks--sorry I forgot who mentioned it earlier--but thanks for the tip.

Gosh the Italian style meatloaf sounds right up my alley, as well as the Reuben. Of course, any ole time for sausage and gravy over bicuits, is great comfort food. Enjoy pork cutlets as well, and wish I enjoyed eggplant. Hey lazypup, which style dill spears do you like: the new or the old? Marilyn, you are always so busy in the kitchen :o) I love the old, cause I think they have a greater flavor.
