Most women feel that maternalistic includes materialistic - got to feed the

They go to the wall right after the politicians (sending the politicians first
will weed out a wide swath of lawyers and *might* send a message to the
survivors). Accountants will never learn, greedy scutters that they are.

Cookies are easy -- you can even make them in a child's E-Z Bake toy oven.

      Title: Easy Bake Oven Cookie Mix
 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Grains, Fruits, Chocolate
      Yield: 9 cookies per batch

MMMMM----------------------------MIX--------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Quick-cooking oats
    3/4 c  All-purpose flour
    1/4 ts Baking soda
    3/4 c  Packed brown sugar
    1/2 c  Shortening

MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES------------------------------
    1/2 c  Mix
      2 ts Water
      1 tb Raisins
      1 tb Semi-sweet chocolate morsels

  "A fresh alternative to the prepackaged mixes that cost so
  much money. This recipe for chocolate chip raisin cookies
  makes 8 batches of cookies with approximately 9 per batch."

  In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, baking
  soda and brown sugar. Cut in the shortening until the
  mixture resembles cornmeal. There should be no lumps of
  shortening left. Measure 1/2 cup of the mixture into
  re-sealable bags or containers for storage. Label and date
  each bag. This mix can be stored in a cool dry place for
  up to 12 weeks.

  To make the cookies, empty one package of the mix into a
  bowl. Stir in 2 teaspoons of water, 1 tablespoon of
  raisins and 1 tablespoon of mini semisweet chocolate
  chips. Mix well and shape teaspoonfuls of dough into small
  balls. Place balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and
  flatten with the buttered bottom of a glass dipped in
  sugar. Follow your oven's instructions for baking.
