The Case for Staycations: Funny Friday

Today’s post is this month’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

1. Child to himself: Go on vacation, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

2. Child to his mom: I know you don't want me to get sunburned, but doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of going to the beach?

3. Mom (in an eerie voice): You are the ghost of vacations past . . . Boo!
  Child to mom: This is what I get for going on vacation with you in October.

4. Child to mom: When I said I'd carry the towel down for you this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

5. Child to mom: Really, mother, aren't we both a bit too old for peek-a-boo?



 And now for something yummy:

Cinnamon Pecan Cookies with Caramel Apple Drizzle
   ©www.BakingInATornado.com


Ingredients (makes about 2 dozen giant cookies):
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup cinnamon baking chips
1 cup quick oats
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup pecans, chopped into small pieces

36 Werther's apple filled caramels, unwrapped
3 TBSP apple cider or apple juice

Directions:
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper.
*Place the cinnamon baking chips into a food processor or coffee grinder and crush them to crumbs.
*Cream the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and crushed cinnamon baking chips. Mix in the quick oats, flour, salt and pecans.
*Drop batter by rounded teaspoon onto baking sheets, leaving plenty of room between the cookies.
*Bake 8 - 10 minutes, until they are thin and browned.
*Remove from the oven but keep on the parchment paper. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
*While the cookies are cooling, place the candies and apple cider into a bowl and microwave at 20 second intervals stirring well in between, until smooth. This will take about 2 minutes. Drizzle over the cookies. Refrigerate to harden.
*Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between cookies.
