Last week, Charlie surfaced just after my banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookie extravaganza. His first words were a sorrowful, "There aren't any with raisins?" So, today I made cinnamony, oatmealy, raisiny cookies for the lil' bro. Then, I dipped them in a thinned-out cream cheese frosting.
Things I've learned:
- I've gotta quit making this face. It isn't attractive.
- A kitchen can be a jungle gym if you're of a petite nature.
- You can never have too much cinnamon. Ever.
- My take on a hand mixer. Spiffy—they're the best tools you got. One might even call them handy.
- Never photograph a half-cookie. Viewers are likely to wonder who consumed the other half.
