Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies

Here is a recipe that my mom gave me for Peanut Butter Cookies.

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (note: if using crunchy style, add 2 Tablespoons more)
1/2 butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place oven rack just above oven center.
In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla;
Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
In another bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.
Stir into butter mixture until well blended.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
Place balls 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Gently flatten each ball with form in a cris-cross pattern.

Bake in the top half of 375 degrees oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove cookies from sheets; cool on wire racks.

Makes 24 cookies.

In need of a dish drainer

We remodeled our kitchen back about a month ago and purchased a new black sink. One side of the sink is bigger and deeper than the other. So I was thinking of putting a dish drainer in the smaller left side. I can't use the type that sits on the counter because of the sink lip being up so high that the drainer wouldn't hang over it. Problem is....I don't know where to find unusual size drainers. I am sure someone must make them. These sinks are very popular now. I looked at Bed, Bath & Beyond and didn't have any luck. If anyone has any idea where I could find one please let me know. I like having a dish drainer when I only have a couple of thing to wash instead of running the dishwasher.

Brunswick Stew Recipe Anyone?

I know your going to think this is the craziest thing ever, but I have never tried Brunswick Stew until this past Saturday night. I live in Northeast Alabama and I honestly don't think many people eat it around here. We went to a restaurant called Smokey Bones and ordered it as an appetizer. It was actually very good, so I am searching for a good recipe. I want one which consist of pork and BBQ Sauce. I could tell they had those ingredients in their stew. If anyone out there has a recipe they like I would appreciate you sharing!
