A Man is in my Kitchen and he is making Cookies
HOLIDAY TREATS THAT ARE EASY TO MAKE!
As a typical male, I am not a very good cook and if I do venture into the kitchen to try my culinary skills, the recipe had better be easy. These three holiday treats are very simple and the end product is so good I thought I share with you....Good eating and Happy Holidays!
(1) Creme Drop Fudge
You will need:
2 packages of Old Fashion Creme Drops and 1/2 cup of peanut butter.
Heat the creme drops in a small bowl in the microwave for 80-90 seconds. You may have to stir it about halfway through the heating. When heated, stir in the peanut butter and pour on to a buttered dish. Allow to cool, cut into pieces and enjoy.
[2] Peanut Butter Cookies
You will need:
1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 vanilla
Mix in a medium bowl. Incorporating all ingredients. Pinch off a small ball of dough about the size of a quarter, roll it between your hands and lay the ball of dough on a cookie sheet. Placing them about 3 inches apart. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 7-9 minutes. When you see the edges are turning brown, pull them out, even if the middle doesn't seem fully baked. The heat from the cookie sheet will finish the baking without burning the edges.
[3] Cinnamon Twists
You will need:
I package of pie dough mix
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
5 tablespoons cold water
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small shaker or dish.
Place dry pie dough mix in a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of cold water, mix with a fork. Slowly add the other 2 tablespoon in the mixture until all is used.
Roll out pie dough thin. Using a sharp knife cut dough into 1/2 inch wide and 6 inch long pieces. Give the dough a twist then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over it. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degrees in a preheated oven until they are lightly brown.
Thanks to Faylee James for offering these delightful holiday treats.

Getting Around Savannah
Savannah is a beautiful city and rated as one of the top 10 travel designations in the US. Finding your way around in Savannah can be defined by how people or guides refer to them. The historic district area includes the city's 22 famous squares and actually includes three historic districts: The National Historic Landmark District, the Victorian District and the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District.
Savannah's Midtown area stretchesrom Victory Drive south to DeRenne Avenue and is the home of another National Register historic district, Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent.
Spanning east of Waters Avenue to the Wilmington River is the Eastside/Thunderbolt area. Thunderbolt is a filling village almost as old as Savannah; the Eastside harborsonaventure CCCemeterynd the National Register historic districts of Gordonston and Daffin Park-Parkside.
Extending eastward from the Wilmington River is the Islands/Tybee portion of Chatham county. The islands are verdant residential enclaves, while Tybee, with its wide beaches, distinctive lighthouse and traditional seaside cottages is an alluring combination of the offbeat and upscale.
The huge area south of DeRenne Avenue is the Southside, a shopper's paradise that also provides a variety of recreational opportunities. It is also where you can visit other historic sites such as Wormsloe plantation and Bethesda Home for Boys plus the charming riverside community of Isle of Hope.
To the west of the Southside, past the picturesque Forest River and its wide expanse of marshes is Southwest Chatham, the site of the Interstate 95- Georgia Highway 204 Interchange with its many motels and restaurants. Henderson Golf Club is open to the public and a fun place to practice and play a round.
Northwest and due west of Savannah loom the fast-growing West Chatham municipalities of Garden City, Pooler, Port Wentworth and Bloomingdale. The Mighty 8th Air Force Museum is one of the many attractions that can visited in this area.
Savannah is a city of many cultures, venues and fun things to do. Just head in any direction and enjoy your visit and time in the “Jewel of the South”

The Haunted City - Part II
The Weston House which is owned by Savannah College of Art is now used by the school as a dorm but prior to their purchase is was formerly the Weston Hotel. It is located on 231 West Boundary St and is one of the various areas of Savannah where civil war battles were fought. It is reported that at all times of day students hear tapping on the walls, furniture moving in empty rooms, and a singing girl.
The Waving Girl on River Street is a very famous statue of the girl who waved a cloth or towel from the land as a helpful signal to boats coming into the city. The statue depicts here waving with a large dog sitting next to her. Many times the stone cloth has been seen waving as if in the wind. There are stories that the statue is haunted by a ghost boy who broke little children and animal necks. It is said he was hung near the river. On calm, autumn, under a full moon you can see him walking looking for victims.
The Old Pink House Restaurant and Tavern- This historic and popular tavern is said to be haunted by its builder, General Habersham. He often appears in the basement, which is now the tavern. There are reports that he sometimes has been known to walk among the guests in the upstairs dining dressed in his full general uniform.
The Telfair Museum is haunted by its former owner. She is said to roam the housekeeping people from doing what they shouldn't do. If you smoke a cigarette in the house or sit on the wrong chair, you can hear her footsteps coming at you on the marble floors.
Several ghosts are believed to haunt this old cemetery (Bonaventure Cemetery, including the ghost of a small girl named Gracie Watkins who is buried there. At times she cries in the night, and the life sized statue of her cries tears of blood if you take something out of its hands. People who visit the cemetery often place presents in her hands such as trinkets or flowers. There is also a pack of ghost dogs that haunt the grounds and you can hear them barking and breathing.
It is reported that at Fort Pulaski late at night it is known to have strange noises, such as a gun firing, people dying and a little girl crying.
The Juliette Low Birthplace – two former owners haunt this house: Sarah Gordon and her daughter-in-law Nellie Kinzie Gordon, who was the mother of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts. Nellie is said to rearrange furniture, play the piano, and slide down the banister after the museum closed down for the night. Visitors to the house often see Sarah, wearing an old-fashioned dress.
Kehoe House Bed & Breakfast – It is reported to be haunted by the spirits of children. A “Lady in Gray” who haunts not only the B&B in general, but particularly room #203. People who have stayed in this room have felt their hands being gently touched and have felt kisses upon their cheeks. She is a friendly spirit.
