Milk and Cookies

Deven's school does a fund raiser each year selling pre-made cookie dough, perfect for a fun evening activity while Daddo is away golfing. I paparazzi'd Deven for his first 'just baked cookies and cold milk session'...certainly not our last!!

Blogging

I find myself alone on a Thursday night, chocolate cookies and wine in hand, my favorite version of Pride and Prejudice (the Keira Knightley one...blasphemy against Colin Firth I know but it's true) on the big screen and a blog severely in neglect...let the updating begin...

Shall I start with the theme of the month? Tulips. Here is visual a preview of the up coming entry.

Baking

Per my previous post I have had a little more time on my hands and I have rediscovered my love for baking, much to Nick and my waste-line's dismay. I think the holidays have played a role in this but non-the-less I have been trying new recipes and we have been eating some good sweets lately. To my surprise I realized that I had never made gingerbread cookies before. I decided that this tragedy had to be fixed. I ended up not being able to find a gingerbread man cookie cutter so I made due with a snowman, a Christmas tree and a holly sprig. Nick, who is not known for his unearned cookie complements, approved and so I believe we have a new December tradition!!
