I spent many years in search of the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. Everyone's taste is different when it comes to the right chocolate chip cookie but this recipe, given to me by my neighbor, suits our family's taste buds perfectly!
1C butter
1C shortening
1 1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 C brown sugar
4 eggs
Dab of hot water
2 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 C flour
2 tsp. soda
2 tsp. salt
1/2 C oatmeal
1/2 C peanut butter
chocolate chips (I only use milk chocolate chips. Semisweet just don't compare in my opinion)
Cream butter, shortening and sugars. Add eggs, water, vanilla and peanut butter. Add all dry ingredients. Drop onto cookie sheets (I use only stones) and bake at 350 for 10-12 min.

Thai Chicken Curry
This recipe was the closest thing I could find to a favorite dish that I always get when we go the Mariner's games. I served it at the family reunion and am posting it at Emily's request. It's super easy, really fast and so yummy!
1/8 C red curry paste
1 can coconut milk
1 1/2 tbsp. fish sauce
1/8 C sugar
3/4 C shredded bamboo shoots
1/2 of red pepper sliced julienne
1/4 of an onion finely chopped
Chicken breast--about 2 large
I usually just throw the chicken in the crockpot early in the afternoon and slice it and stir it in at the end but you can stir-fry it before cooking the veggies if you'd rather. Mix the paste with half of the milk, whisking until combined. Saute veggies in wok until crisp tender. Add the remaining ingredients, including other half of coconut milk and cook until warmed through. Serve over rice and like to add chopped nuts on top.
