Yeah, I don't have any food. But I finally perfected the heat upload system in my office, and don't want to move.

(My parents got me one of this zip-up cocoon-y blankets and a space heater for Xmas, and if I prop my feet up on the space heater, the coccoon thing acts as a chimney for my whole body! And I can stick my hands in every so often, and I am toasty warm!)

Since I just about froze last night, this is an exciting development.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Danke, Kat.

We're planning on doing a lot of baking in the next month or two, so all cookie recipes are welcome.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I always thought this [link] recipe for Disney Oatmeal Raisin cookies would make good Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.

Substitute "Chocolate Chips" for raisins, of course...

OTOH? Great with raisins. Hmmm... Both? There's an idea.

Thanks, Daniel. I'm going to try adapting some, so I can add that to the bag.

We're sort of on a cookie quest.

But I'm not driving down there either.

Counts as busy.

I'm very picky about cookies. But I have a yummy zucchini bread recipe.
