This is a funny review of the year 2009

Christmas Pecan Cookies

2 cups of shortening
1 ¾ cups of confectioner’s sugar
5 cups of flower
½ cup of corn starch
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 ½ finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine in a blender the sugar and butter and mix until butter becomes fluffy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Shape cookies into desired form. You can flatten with a rolling pin and use a cookie cutter.

Place the shapes on a cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let them cool so they can finish to cook.

Yields 4 dozens depending on the size of the shapes.

If you have a computer that does not have Windows XP or its just too slow, and can’t afford to upgrade or purchase one with Windows 7, then Xubuntu (pronounced zoo-BOON-too) might be a solution for you. Download Xubuntu Here. You could buy a Netbook which most of them are in the $300 range and now come with as striped-down version of Windows called “Windows 7 Starter” like this ASUS 10.1-Inch Eee PC. Another option is to just replace your PC (not monitor), but this might also be out of range since the lowest prices are in the low $200 like this Acer or this E-machines, at this price they come with XP Home edition.

The best option is FREE! Use the computer you currently have and install Xubuntu. Now why I’m I promotion Xubuntu, well there’s several reasons…for one, its FREE, two, I have it installed and loved it, and three, I can reuse the old computer I have and save the Environment ; ).

You might think that your computer is too old to run anything, specially if you have Windows ME or XP with less than 512 MB of memory, if it is so then your are wrong. Xubuntu only requires a 300 MHz processor and at least 192 MB of memory (the recommended is 256 MB RAM), and 2 GB of free space.

Here are a few things to know before taking on the task of trying or/and installing Xubuntu: Read the rest of this entry »
