Laundry and Stuff

It was a typical Monday just like the one I expected last week's to be before we left the house in a rush. I did laundry today, a bunch of it, and baked a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I looked the recipe up online and made the Tollhouse version except that I used 2 1/2 cups of flour instead of 1 1/2. (What were they thinking?) Yes, I did eat one. I've been cheating lately and paying the price too. It's so hard to resist.

My new "flower" stopped by for a quick visit this afternoon. Of course she wondered where the other little "blossoms" were but they had already gone home. My mind is now running through how to make my backyard into a "flower bed". Somehow the situation suddenly seems urgent, maybe because the weather is so beautiful and I want very much to be outside.

  1. Those look SO delicious!

    I've been cooking lots of meat lately (beef briskets, and pork) for sandwiches at K and A's wedding reception. And today I've been making cookie dough truffles. Sorry--no picture of them on the blog yet, but I hope to post a bunch after the wedding!

  6. These cookies did turn out looking pretty. It was a good idea to make them with peanut butter.

    Steph, I used this recipe http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?id=30357 but put in 2 1/2 cups flour.
