So I decided to take
Hershey's prize basket's suggestion and just go ahead and make
Peanut Blossoms with everything that was sent. I followed the recipe
almost to the tee - I used butter-flavored shortening and doubled the vanilla (as usual). And just as I was mixing them up, I got a call from
Claudia, who was in town - all the way from Peru! She is working at Cascade Mountain ski hill in Portage over the winter (her "summer" break - poor girl) and had a friend drive her into Stevens Point to visit with some people from Woodlands who she had met in Peru.

The cookies came out of the oven just as she arrived, so we were able to catch up a bit over glasses of milk and warm Peanut Blossoms (that's when they're the best - the Kiss is nice and gooey!).

It was fun to laugh and remember moments from Peru, as well as tease her about willingly coming to Wisconsin in the middle of winter!
