Peanut Blossoms

Sometimes I wonder what I do well. I'm not a sad sack & am competent at many things. I like to cook but things don't always turn out like the picture. Mostly things taste good but as they say on the cooking competitions I have more flavor than presentation. Everything is normally a little wonky, I have friends who think they are great actors or decorators & they are beter than I am at those things for sure. I have many friends with many gifts. I'm just never sure what mine are.

But one of them is Peanut Blossoms. They are pretty & yummy!!
