And the jeans they suggested for me in RS? Over $100 bucks. Ya, right!! Funny – I was browsing through those very magazines tonight at Barnes & Noble — with pretty much the same thoughts.

That craft table for example, a few years ago she did the same thing in a hutch for people who don't have a whole room. If I find my copy I may post it. I've kept all the magazines much to my hubbies chagrin...ciao I didn’t renew my MS subscription this year, they are a repeat of older issue only not as good.

I am now duty-bound to correct it. Honey is NOT a straight substitution for the sugar in this recipe - try using about 1/3 cup of honey instead, and see how it turns out. Otherwise the dough will probably be a big gloppy mess since the honey is much more liquid than sugar. Or, just use the recipe I use: 1 cup butter, 1/3 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 1/2 cups flour. Beat butter, honey and vanilla about one minute, then add flour slowly. Press into mold or pan, then bake at 300 for 35-40 minutes. That's all, and it is so easy and yummy. Apologies, and I will now retreat to lick my wounds (which taste of embarrassment, not honey). I hate when I make a mistake! I am now duty-bound to correct it.

Except for the shortbread recipes, those are good. I think I'm over making valentines unless they're cookies or something. I think the immediate shelf stocking of hearts and candy after Christmas that did me in. I need a holiday break! I, too, found the Feb issues of RS and MS a little underwhelming.

Apparently different types of honey have different flavors, but I go for clover. Delish. May I also add my drool to the puddle around the craft table...

I was a total magazine junkie last year - didn't subscribe, just bought on the newsstand as I was in denial that I was an addict :-). But I find magazines so hit and miss that now I just take them out of the library. My mom gave me a subscription to Country Living, though, which I generally like. I agree with you on those.
