Peanut Butter Chews
Try these Peanut Butter Chews. A no bake cookie recipe. I went to San Marino High School in San Marino, California the '70s. I hated high school. I moved to California my freshman year and was always an outsider. I still feel like an outsider, anyway, nothing that years of therapy won't solve..... I digress.... One high point in my time there was a "cookie" they sold in the cafeteria, which also sold corn dogs that had a greenish tinge to them! This cookie-ish thing was called a peanut butter chew. It was very weird and wonderful. You don't even have to bake these! So for all my SMHS friends, without further ado - the peanut butter chew! Nice rhyming, if I do say so! My friend Kay from SMHS took this wonderful photo!

Bolognese Sauce
I love making Bolognese Sauce! Chopping the vegetables in a food processor makes this classic bolognese very fast and allows them to disintegrate and thicken the sauce, which helps coat the pasta. You can also add some red wine to this sauce.
