COCONUT COCOROONS

*1939 Recipe*
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1C sugar
2C corn flakes or other flaked cereal
1C coconut
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Preheat oven to 350. Add salt to egg whites and beat until stiff. Beat in sugar gradually. Fold in cereal and coconut carefully. Add almond extract and mix thoroughly. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. Remove IMMEDIATELY from cookie sheet. Makes about 3 dozen.
Put some outdoor lights up and make a simple project into more than it needed to be. Can't find a simple star in all those Christmas boxes. Made a big mess in the attic. Will clean it up later, maybe after the project of taking it all done in 2009. Laugh it helps.............

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
