At first I was a little confused as I was looking for a Dicks Bakery. But after deciding that it was actually the grocery store we went in and had a couple of those tasty sugar cookies. Also, we brought home an Elmo cookie for the Princess who loves him.<BR/><BR/>The cookies were good competition for Parsons Bakery in Colonial Square on 2600 N (?). If you haven't had the ummmm, pleasure, you should to treat yourself to it at least once.<BR/><BR/>Dicks had some other interesting things in the bakery that I'll be trying in the future.

Is it less time than the rice maker? Probably because of the pressure factor. Me thinks I have something new to try. <BR/><BR/>I love DI! I broke my slow cooker today and I thought... I will go to the DI to see if I can find the insert replacement. Huh? Huh? Totally rocks that there actually could be one there and it won't cost 25 dollars. <BR/><BR/>Love ya MSunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608249416231922732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458583721644967759.post-85537819346847768882009-03-15T16:31:00.000-07:002009-03-15T16:31:00.000-07:00DI and sugar cookies - heaven on earthDI and sugar cookies - heaven on earthPapa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458583721644967759.post-6052113211311102342009-03-14T20:44:00.000-07:002009-03-14T20:44:00.000-07:00It's the whole "pressure" word.

I had one but just never used the pressure thingy. (thingy?)<BR/><BR/>I like putting things in the crockpot in the morning and then smelling the aromas all day. Also, my 5 qt pot will make about 8 meals for the two of us. I'm big on freezing soups and sauces. Slow-cooked shredded chicken is a staple in my kitchen and is used in all kinds of meals. <BR/><BR/>I have three trips to SLC in the next week. Will definately be stopping by Dicks.

The treasure hunting is for old discontinued china and stoneware and bags of fabric for sewing. <BR/><BR/>A brand new DI is going up about two miles from here. I'm so excited!!<BR/><BR/>A pressure cooker has never been part of my kitchen arsenal. For some reason they scare me. Crock pots are the weapon of choice. There are three in my cabinets and they are used constantly. I'm a lazy cook.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and my car also detours in Bountiful to Parsons Bakery for sugar cookies. Mmmmmm.. Where is Dicks?
