During the Christmas season, we like to make one of my favorite recipes:
Cape Cod Oatmeal Cookies


Now to make this recipe, you need a large mixing bowl! And if you don't have one, we have several beauties listed at OLA.com!!! These are just a few!! And why buy new when the old mixing bowl are absolutely wonderful vintage pieces!! And most are made in the good old USA!!


Now for the recipe!!


Melt 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortning in the microwave. Add 1 cup sugar and blend well. Add 1/4 cup milk and 1 beaten egg. Add 1 TBL molasses. Stir in 1/2 tsp soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix well. Add 1 3/4 cup oatmeal and 1 cup raisins. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts if desired.


Arrange by teaspoonfuls on buttered cookie sheet. Bake until edges are brown. 10-12 minutes at 350. (I love using parchment paper!!)

To make a spicier cookie, DOUBLE the spices!! I like to add 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix, too!! And I ALWAYS double the recipe as I freeze them!! We LOVE eating these wonderful cookies right out of the freezer!!

So, for your baking needs, check out OLA.com!! And we would love to have you visit our store, Korn Kountry Treasures!! Thank you!!

Jadite Fire King Glass and White Restaurant Ware

Fire King is collectible, sturdy glassware made by Anchor Hocking Glass. Fire King can be found in various colors and patterns, and some people collect the different mugs made by Anchor Hocking over the years. The most collected and popular color is a pretty green, called jadite (also spelled jadeite or jade-ite). Fire King dishes were made for home use, and also for use in restaurants, etc. The sturdy, plain pieces made for restaurant use are called, appropriately, restaurant ware.



I have some of the white Fire King restaurant ware W295 saucers available for purchase on onlineauction.com. The white restaurant ware pieces are harder to find than the jadeite in this line, as collectors know. They are marked Fire King, and they date to circa 1959-1967. Close examination shows some manufacturing/molding imperfections, such as swirls/lines in the glass, tiny bumps, etc. as are often found on Fire King glassware. That being said, these saucers are very nice, with no chips or damage, and they have nice shine. I currently have four of these saucers available, listed for purchase in lots of two.
