t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

Thin Mints...A Work in Progress


A work in progress and they have to be served to company! I made an attempt at thin mints today in honor of Randy Pausch and The Last Lecture. We are discussing the book tonight for book group and I am in charge of refreshments. I thought thin mints would be fitting (he refers to them in the book). But I think it is impossible to make a dipping chocolate with no sugar. So instead I made a mint chocolate filling.

They taste good but the texture is dry. I need to work on the recipe. To add some much needed moisture, I will serve with whipped cream. Brent called them minty dog bones. I thought that was cruel....he doesn't like chocolate or mint...I shouldn't have even offered him one. Thankfully I am also serving my Mulit Grain Granola.
