- This has all the ingredients for a great recipe lens for me... made from scratch not from a packet/can, original photos, easy to follow instructions, and a great layout. Nicely done, if you had smell-a-vision I would have dived in and eaten the lot, they look and sound really good :) Blessed.

- Yes, I do my own baking most of the time. This summer, though, being the hottest in history for Texas (over 70 days of triple digit temperatures so far!) I have not lit the oven a single time in over 3 months. So my poor hubby has had to make do with what we get from the grocery store. Don't feel too sorry for him, though, because we have wonderful bakeries in our local HEB stores.
The hermit recipe here sounds delicious, so I've printed it out to give it a try this winter - but I wonder if you have ever eaten a chocolate hermit? Glen's Bakery in Crescent City recently closed its doors, and they sold a tender cake-like mound of chocolate cookie loaded with nuts and raisins with a dab of chocolate frosting on the top, and called them hermits. So I had no idea that there were other cookie recipes called Hermits, that were not chocolate. Very interesting! Come on cold weather, I got the urge to bake cookies!

- Chocolate, nuts, and fruit? It sounds almost too good to be true. I will have to see if I can adapt this recipe to add in the chocolate...I don't think that it would be too difficult to do :)
