COOKIES OF THE MONTH

When I first moved to Knoxville in September of 2016, I was introduced to the “best cookies ever,” as some members explained to me They were from Ham & Goody’s Bakery in Knoxville I have found this recipe to be a close substitute for when you can’t make it to the Bakery. But, for me, these cookies just scream “Spring in Knoxville.”

Ingredients:

2lemons

1 cup(2sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cupwhite granulated sugar

1large egg

2 1/2 cupsall-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoonbaking soda

1/4 teaspoonsalt

1 teaspoonmilk (if needed)

Lemon Glaze:

6 teaspoonsof the reserved lemon juice

1 1/2 cupspowdered sugar

Directions:

Rinse lemons, dry, and roll firmly against the counter to help release juices Zest lemons, being careful not to get into the pith Reserve zest in a small bowl. Juice lemons and reserve juice in a second small bowl. Preheat oven to 350F and line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper Cream butter with sugar for 1 minute until just combined, but don't beat too much air into the mixture Add egg and 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice and mix until combined In a clean bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 4-5 additions, mixing until a few flour streaks remain If dough appears chalky or dry, mix in 1 teaspoon of milk. You want the dough to be moist but easy to work with - not too sticky. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut cookies Place onto prepared baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart Gather up remaining dough scraps, roll out again (flour surface again if needed) and cut out more cookies Bake on center rack 9-11 minutes or until cookies are just set. Don't wait for them to get too brown, or they will taste dry. Let cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining baking sheets Let cookies cool completely

Continued....Lemon Glaze Directions:

Stir together powdered sugar and lemon juice until fully combined Pull a fork or knife through the glaze The line you make should hold its shape for about 5 seconds If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar If it's too thick, add a little more lemon juice Make additions in very, very small amounts, mixing well between each one, to test consistency. Use a butter knife or the back of a spoon to spread glaze onto each cookie Let sit at room temperature until glaze is set

(GLUTEN-FREE)

This is a simple, yet delicious cookie. This is one of my favorite cookies growing up as a kid My aunt would make these for me every year at Christmas time and it never seemed like Christmas until I got my cookies It is still a cherished memory to me to this day Ah, the simple pleasures of life

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup Hershey’s Cocoa

1/2 cup evaporated milk

3 cups your favorite oats (quick 1-Minute oats)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup peanut butter

Directions:

Bring butter, sugar, cocoa, and evaporated milk to a boil for 1 minute

Remove from heat Add oats, vanilla, and peanut butter Mix well Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper Cool, then serve

Hi everyone, my name is Taylor Falk, and I am super excited to be a Co-Head Coach for Tsunami’s this season! I have been swimming since I was 10 and I cannot think of a better way to spend my summer than in the pool. I will be a 2023 graduate of ECU with plans to attend graduate school in the fall. During my time in college, I was a member and President of ECU Club Swimming, Go Pirates! During my free time I enjoy hiking and camping and have recently been learning how to rappel canyons (if you’re interested in national parks, I’m your girl!). I am looking forward to my second season with the Tsunamis!

Swimming and Coaching are huge passions of mine, and I am extremely excited to start my journey with the Tsunamis!

I’m a rising junior at NC State and a proud member of their club swim and avid supporter of our school team (the only program in the nation with combined top 5 men’s and women’s teams!)

GREG KEARNS YOGA INSTRUCTOR

My name is Greg Kearns, yoga instructor, at Wakefield Plantation Shortly after the training I received to become a yoga instructor, I also sought training in how to deliver Yoga to individuals dealing with past trauma. Over this time, I have enjoyed teaching of a variety of yoga classes. If the class being taught was for a large group, one on one, children, athletics, seniors, strength, flexibility, hot, or just relaxation; I was able to learn the needs of the participants, thus becoming a better instructor I enjoy bringing joy and humor to any class that I lead.

Please enter and exit bunkers on the low side Exiting the high side loosens more sand, leaving the bunker face soft and unlevel

After your bunker shot, always rake out your foot prints. Use a push and pull raking motion and try to avoid pulling the sand out of the bunker. Fill your divot on tees and fairways with the sand provided This will encourage level re-growth and keep your playing surface level

Cigarettes, cigar butts and broken tees are trash. Please put them in the trash receptacles.

Avoid cart and foot traffic through areas that have been recently sodded These areas are irrigated more frequently and will cause turf damage. There’s also a great chance you could slip.
