Dinner and a Movie Friday

If you want a good laugh you need to go and see Tyler Perry Madea goes to Jail. We usually don't go and see these kind of movies. We did not know who Tyler Perry even was. Tyler plays several different parts you will laugh until you cry. We happened to see a story on Tyler Perry where he told how he was homeless, now he is making big hits in his own studio. If this show is playing in a theater near you check it out it is really funny.

My little buddy is on his way to town. Mom has Spring Break so we made some fun Spring Break Cookies. As I sit on pins and needles why they make the six hour drive home. I always feel better after they arrive safely. I don't know if I would drive 6 hours by myself with a two year old!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess while Daddy is in Afghanistan you do not have a lot of choice.
Spring Break Cookies

1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
31/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Colored sugar

Mix 1 cup sugar, the butter, milk, vanilla, almond extract and egg. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Heat oven to 375 F. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Divide one part into 12 equal pieces (keep remaining dough refrigerated). Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon colored sugar on board. Roll each piece of dough on sugared board into pencil-like strip, about 10 inches long. Twist into pretzel shape on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
