Even though I don’t have anything too exciting on my workdesk today, I didn’t want to miss out on the final WOYWW of the year!<\/p>\n

\"2011-12-28-woyww\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Really there’s just a lot of post-Christmas debris, you know: \u00a0leftover gift labels & cards, tape, pens, tissue paper and such.<\/p>\n

In the bowl is my MP3 player which I gave to my son last night to repair and he managed to finish off completely, lol. \u00a0Ah well, I may use the parts for some steampunk art or something.<\/p>\n

My serger is on the table because after trying for months to get a new thread guide ordered from the manufacturer, I finally just had my brother-in-law weld it for me. \u00a0Yay, Dave. \u00a0Woot!<\/p>\n

I’m a little annoyed with the guys at the sewing machine repair shop (they’re the reason I’ve been months without my serger) so I’m going to try to get the part adjusted to the correct angle by myself, rather than bring it to them. \u00a0(That I am post-Christmas “broke” is a contributing factor, as well.)<\/p>\n

You can also see that I’ve been taking apart the purple coat<\/a> in preparation for cutting a new pattern out of the pieces. \u00a0The coat itself has come apart quite easily, but the lining is serged, so that’s been a bit more work.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the jury is no longer out on which Peanut Butter Bon-Bon recipe is best. \u00a0My grandmother’s wins, hands down.<\/p>\n

The recipe I gave here<\/a>\u00a0is way too sweet, in my opinion. \u00a0It also doesn’t have enough peanut butter flavor. \u00a0 Finally, while the pretzel does make it easier to dip the bon-bons into the melted chocolate, the pretzels get stale quite quickly.<\/p>\n

So, just in time for your New Year’s celebration, here is my grandmother’s recipe.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bon-Bons<\/strong><\/p>\n

3 cups peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, your choice)
\n1 box confectioner’s sugar (3.5 cups)
\n3.5 cups Rice Krispies
\n1 stick butter
\n2 – 14 oz. bags chocolate chips (Have you noticed that they now come in 12 oz<\/strong>. bags? Betcha they were 16 oz. bags before that. Huh.) Anyhow, it’s about 2 cups of chips per bag.
\n3 T. vegetable oil<\/p>\n

Melt butter, stir in sugar. Mix in peanut butter and Rice Krispies until combined.
\nRoll into bite size balls, refrigerate until cold.<\/p>\n

Melt chocolate chips with oil in double boiler. Use two forks to roll cold peanut butter balls in melted chocolate. Place bon-bons on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Chill in fridge until firm.<\/p>\n

Try not to devour all at once. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you’re wondering why I posted a boring photo of my workdesk, go here<\/a> to see LOTS of workdesks from around the world. \u00a0I’m sure many of them are far more interesting than mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
