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.

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

A friend of mine makes hers with Raisinets. Good stuff.

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.

Woohoo! Recipe exchange!

Sadly, I don't think I have anything really kick-ass here, as I've been neglecting to transfer the recipes at mother's to my kitchen.

Yes, this baking urge was brought about by the free sample issue of Cook's Illustrated that came in the mail today or yesterday. Which, as it happened, managed to touch on almost every baking question we've had in the last month or two.

I would really like a sweet potato now. Oooh. Or sweet potato fries. Those are way yum.

I don't like sweet potatoes, or sp fries, although they sell them at BBQ joints around here. Regular frech fries made at BBQ joints are the best fries in the WORLD.

EDIT I found pesto in my fridge! I can have dinner!
