What I'm reading: Contest entry #5 of 8
First - a request: My POV workshop will be cancelled if I don't get some more people signed up. If you know anyone who might benefit from some the workshop, I'd appreciate it if you'd send them in this direction. If the class is a "go" it'll most likely be small enough to permit some one-on-one help.
Thanks to Shelley Bell for sharing the trials and tribulations of book promotion.
A while back, someone on Google+ asked for recipes using molasses. I used to make this one for my kids (and since I don't like peanut butter it meant I wasn't tempted to eat them all--and because the kids aren't around anymore, I didn't bake them to take a picture for the blog.)

Shoo Fly Pie is a good molasses recipe. It's a bit long, but not terribly complicated, so I'd suggest looking it up!
I'm aware of Shoo Fly Pie, but never made it. Just reading the recipe makes my teeth hurt! :-)
I would never have thought of adding molasses to peanut butter cookies. I'm trying to imagine the taste. Hmm - guess I'll have to make them!
Karen -- let me know if you like them. My kids did.
