COOOOOOKKKKies!

So, today, I bake cookies.  I changed the recipe a little by using butter instead of shortening (cause shortening just looks like something no one should eat) wheat flour instead of white, and less sugar than it says too!  I think they're pretty good!

Chocolate Cookies

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

3 eggs

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup cocoa

powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.

Add eggs, then sift in dry ingredients.

Chill for about 30 minutes.

Roll in powdered sugar.

Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

Serving Suggestion:

mmmm milk and cookies!

We all live in a yellow submarine...

So, Thanks to Monica I tried out this great new bread recipe (new to me anyway).  It was much easier than one I had previously tried, and instead of sugar, it called for honey! Excited to try my new bruschetta recipe on this bread!

Today, my neighborhood had a neighborhood yard sale!  Here are a few of the steals I got!

Big steal: Beatles CD's for 50 cents  a piece!

50 cents for the set!

I decided to try to spruce up our back patio a little bit...not only do I think the neighbors would appreciate it (we share it with them, I'd only be sprucing up our half) but it'd be a nice place to sit and eat dinner this summer!

Well...I guess that just about covers it, I got some other goodies, but this is all I took photos of....oh, and I should mention, I was joined by my lovely friend Joanne!  That always makes things much more fun!
