do you ever read something and think about it for years afterwards? almost four years ago, smitten kitchen wrote about her relationship with leafy greens. she talked about how she always thought she’d grow up to be the kind of person who loved them. but she isn’t. and that blog post stuck with me. because i’m a healthy cook and eater (despite my love for baked goods). and i always want to like leafy greens.
since we’ve been back in california, i’ve made dozens and dozens of delicious cookies! but i didn’t get it together to take pics of all of them. so i’m sharing just three cookie recipes (even though lots of the pics were taken with the iPhone, and thus a little blurry): chocolate raspberry tarts, nutella cookies, and soft ginger cookies.
whew, i made it through fall quarter! after writing and writing and writing some more, i’ve finally turned in all of my papers. yay!
well friends, believe it or not, my blog just reached its three-year anniversary! i cannot believe i’ve been blogging for three years! or that the past three years flew by so fast!
hi everyone, i’m back from my trip to the midwest, and finally sitting down to post after a long week at work. i had a fabulous time with my family in indiana and chicago – we had beautiful weather, and spent time celebrating my great uncle’s 99th birthday, looking at pictures with my great aunt (my grandmother’s older sister), walking around the campus of purdue, viewing exhbits at the chicago art institute, taking the “l” to wrigley field, and most importantly, getting to know our family in the midwest a lot better and learning about my norwegian heritage. i discovered that my love for cooking and welcoming friends into my home is decidedly norweigian, and learned that norwegians get upset when people visit without calling, because they can’t prepare coffee and bake cookies before inviting guests into their homes. to that end, when our friends came over this weekend, i decided i had to honor my heritage and make some cookies (albeit with them, not before they came over).
