TGIF Scoop

  presented by Kay Baker & Associates

Hello and Welcome to the TGIF Scoop.

The National Association of Realtors has posted that the existing home sales rose again in September.  This affirms that a sales recovery has begun.  Read rest of story here...

This is an awesome time to consider buying a second home at the beach. Wilmngton NC home buyers this may be one of the best  home buying opportunities due to historic low interest rates, foreclosure and short sales, and the large inventory to choose from. Don't miss out on a once in a life time chance to get a really good deal.  Call us, use our local knowledge and experience to help guide you. Visit www.cbbaker.com for up the minute MLS listings of homes in our tri-county area. And, we can send you a detailed list of all the short sales and foreclosures on the market. Just send a quick email to kaybaker@seacoastrealty.com. We will send the list right to your email box.

Directions
COOKIES
Mix all cookie ingredients together with electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. You can separate dry and wet ingedients if you have the time (optional). Drop heaping rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. I use pam. Bake in pre-heated oven 350 degrees for approx. 17 min., until lightly browned. Let cool completely.
ICING
In small bowl, combine icing ingredients and blend until smooth. Heat until very liquidy (40 seconds) and drizzle over cookies. Works best on cooled cookies.
