this and that

it's almost december!!!!

tonight, i am going to bed hoping that the rain outside turns to snow and dreaming of snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes! (yes i am aware that it does not snow in southern virginia in december, but a girl can wish right?)

also, to put me further into the holiday mood pa-thug and i made a batch of Christmas cookies!


also, an update on our training: we finished the 10k just under 70 min!!! not 1/2 marathon pace but good for our first run together!




here is our official picture as we crossed the finish line (don't you love how my dad was sporting MIAMI!!!)

kooking with k-dawg

today k-dawg and i are making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. yummy!!

while i do love my brother very much he is v. strange and has some odd quirks. First, he refers to lisa as "my mom" eventhough she gave birth to ajh and i and is currently mother to all 3 of us. Secondly, if he believes that something was done one way once he has to do it the same every time (pronounced EB-er-RE TIME). one might call this obsessive compulsive, and one might be correct. thus we made a new recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies on a metal jelly roll pan.

oatmeal cookies are a family staple. we always make the vanishing oatmeal cookies from Quaker Oats they are amazing and perfect. K-dawg is convinced that lisa makes the recipe on the back of the Toll House Chocolate Chip bag. she does not and i am sure of it. she might make the regular chocolate chip cookies from there but NOT the oatmeal ones. they are very different and the milk in the Toll House recipe plumps the oatmeal and sort of conceals it. good for the non oatmeal lovers. BAD FOR ME!

as for the metal jelly roll pan apparently lisa uses it. i think this was a lie on his part and when he goes outside to play and i am switching back to the cooking stone (better cookie bottom).


all in all my time spent with k-dawg was productive and we ended it on happy terms with cookies for lisa and thug when they return from work. I give it an A+!
