BAKED TREES AND CHOCOLATE ROLL

Today our thermometer (which is a professional) reads 117 degrees!!! Can you even believe? We lived in Mesa Az for 10 years and I seriously thought that was the hottest place on earth BUT now I know............its OKLAHOMA!!!  Two years ago I planted two fir trees.  One on each side of our big windows in the front of our house.........they are burned to a crisp!! Not from lack of water.........as we faithfully watered them but due to the heat reflecting off the front of the rock on our house and has just baked them!  I am almost to give up watering my flowers........really hard to keep up with them.  AND it looks like this is going to continue.  Bob has threatened to tie our mattress on top of the car and head for California.........back to the dust bowl days!!!

This is the easiest dessert in the world but so good and great to prepare ahead for guests.  You know those chocolate wafers by Nabisco?  Very hard to find here.........Misty, my daughter sent me four boxes as I used them to make chocolate crusts too.  Just whip up a cup of cream.......and start layering cream and chocolate cookies.........until you have a roll like the picture on the box.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.........good to make the night before.  Slice to serve..........really nice to top with fresh raspberries.  This has always been a family favorite in our house.
