Cookie Heaven

I'm baking a new kind of cookie right now. They are called Mother's Cookies, and I have no idea why. Perhaps someone's mother made them. I don't know. All I know is they smell really really good. They contain oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chips, and rice crispies (besides the usual stuff for making a dough - flour, salt, sugar(s), baking powder and soda, egg, etc.) MMM...I saw rice crispies on the ingredients list, and I just couldn't help but make them.

Tonight we're having left over corn chowder. I think I'm also going to make some scalloped potatoes. I have never ever made scalloped potatoes before, but I've been craving them for the last year or so.

I'd say it's time.

I love cooking. I love baking. And I love new recipes. Maybe John's right...maybe we should open a bakery/coffee shop.
