Introducing the No Accessory Crunchy Icon Oatmeal Cookie

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, April 3, 2016

You know, and I know, there are as many oatmeal cookie recipes in the world today as there are fields of oats.
 
As for me, I like a crunchy oatmeal cookie with no accessories – including raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts or whatever you might add.
 
Thanks to the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, I found a no-frills oatmeal. And, with a couple of my own twists, created the No Accessory Crunchy Icon Oatmeal Cookie.
 
The original recipe says you’ll end with 54 cookies. Since I like large cookies, my alterations ended with 24 cookies.

Snow in April? Please say it ain't so

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, April 3, 2016

3:30 pm Saturday, April 2, in Ada saw sleet and snow, covering the ground and early-blooming flowers and trees.

Cold temperatures won't bother spring bulb flowers much, but magnolias tree blooms will turn black and other flowering trees may loose their spring finery due to current and anticipated freezes the next few days. (Monty Siekerman photo)
