Since I don't have enough to do (ha ha), after getting emails from our new ADPi Alumnae Chapter President, I decided I needed to get involved. She is doing a fabulous job and encouraged us to help the local chapter (Beta Beta at UTC) with Recruitment. So about an hour ago I dropped off cookies for the girls to munch in preparation for today's Philanthropy party. I had a vision of a wonderful recipe from my friend Kathryn for White Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut cookies. Then I thought, I could make cookies decorated with our letters. Then I thought I am tired and I am buying a box mix. Which is what I did...well two boxes of Double Chocolate to which I did add a bag of white chocolate morsels to jazz it up. They turned out great except that it was a little tricky to get all the chips incorporated. Oh, and in who's world does one box produce 3 dozen cookies? Is that based on a hobbit's rounded teaspoon? I mostly gave up on answering that question years ago but I would like to note that two boxes and a bag of morsels produced 43 normal sized cookies.
Anyway, I took the cookies to the lovely Lindsay Street Hall, where ADPi is holding Recruitment this year.
And to think we were just happy when we had a room with windows and a little molding instead of that stark plain walled room in the middle of the University Center. Though, I wouldn't trade my beloved Furman for any place in the world. Continuing on this theme though, I'll be returning to the hall on Saturday, black dress on (and my pin!), for what we always called Pref Tea but they have referred to as simply Preference. It should be an interesting experience. I am looking forward to meeting some other alumnae. I think this may be the outlet for my volunteering energy after I take my "retired from active duty, paying lesser dues" status with my aforementioned organization that shall not be named. :)

Violets, diamonds, BYA and Pi love to all!
