First, my sweet cousin Peg in NJ sent us an absolutely wonderful Christmas gift today. First a little explanation. I grew up spending summers in South Jersey visiting my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousin. One of the highlights of our trips (other than family, of course!) was always the food\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Philly soft pretzels, italian ice, and Tastykakes! Fast foward to today\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the box that arrived was filled with authentic philly pretzels (vacuumed sealed and ready to warm up!), Tastykakes (chocolate, my fav!), Herr\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s potato chips, and Goldenberg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s peanut chew candies! Oh my!! Those pretzels were GOOD! For those interested, go to\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phillymemories.com\/\">www.phillymemories.com<\/a>. Thanks again, Peg!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/im1.shutterfly.com\/procserv\/47b6cc02b3127cce8faa61ba2c3400000016108AYt2bRu1cs8\" width=\"428\" height=\"272\" align=\"top\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the second treat for today! These cookies come from a recipe that came with my Mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cookie press that she received in 1963 for a wedding present. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember a Christmas without these cookies! I now make them with my kids (with explicit instructions to share with my Mom!) I bought a new press last year, thinking it would work so much better than Mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s screw-type one. Wrong. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m back to using Mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and it works like a charm. I lost count on how many we made! Abbey posed for this picture\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and, then grabbed a cookie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today has been a day of memory-inducing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6foods!
