We had a dinner invitation yesterday after church. That never rarely happens to us.
We went to visit Lynnea's family.
(Taylor and Lynnea last week at our house. Pre-haircut for Tay. Such a cute couple.)
Our assignment was to bring dessert. After a miserable first attempt at whoopie pies (I won't ever make them again, although my family swears they are good, since they are enjoying the fruits of my failure efforts), we settled on our ol' stand-by favorite, (I first posted about them here) Pizookies. Back then I called them fazookies. Taylor set me straight ("They are a pizza/cookie. Pizookies.").
We made the scenic 1-hour drive to Conifer, where we enjoyed beautiful views, delicious food, and good company.
Mar even got to check out their chickens.

And, after I admired one of her houseplants, Lynnea's mother gifted it to me. She said she had wanted to get rid of it, but couldn't bring herself to throw away a perfectly good plant.
(I had told her how I had a similar plant, not nearly as colorful, that pathetically props against the wall, alone in it's pot, on it's spindly trunk. I've had it for well over 10 years. It manages to live on sporadic over-waterings and occasional leaf-dustings. It is perhaps not a thing of beauty, but I don't have the heart to throw it away.)
We enjoyed this on our Sunday drive home:
Who knows, we may see a lot more of Lynnea's family in the future. (Wink, wink.)
If is makes you feel any better on the name of the dessert, I'm gonna vote with your name. That's because there is a pizza place in Logan called Firehouse Pizza. They have those same desserts, and they call them FH'zookies, which we've always pronounced fa-zookies. So, they are fazookies in my book. Although, maybe since that's a Firehouse "name brand" then Taylor's pizookie name could work as well. But, then let's think about it, it's like Frisbee or Kleenex, you could call 'em "flying disc" or "facial tissues", but we never do.
ReplyDeleteWe had a Firehouse pozza by us (now they've closed down :(), but we would get the "fazookie" all the time, they are yummy. We even go the same skillet's i'm sure you have, hmm, I better make some of those again.
ReplyDeleteSo are you telling us a little secret? That would be awesome!
Then I'm going back to calling them fazookies!!! Thanks for the backup, ladies ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am sure anything you made tasted good, you are a great cook! Cute pictures! Let us know when that Wink Wink is official... :)
