big fat experiment

June 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Got this recipe from my mom’s cookbook, entitled Big Fat Cookies.  Tried the “Butterscotch Blondie Marble Cookies” for the first time today.  They were a little bigger and a little fatter than I anticipated. Voila, the result:

I’ll proportion them better next time.  They still taste pretty darn good.  Stay tuned to see what I do with the loads of free time I have on my hands these days.

most wonderful time of the year

June 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

For some reason, I love June 2. Call me crazy, but I think its one of the best days of the year, and I have absolutely no idea why. Here’s a few of my theories why this random date might be significant to me…

  1. When I was graduating the 6th grade, I remember that our celebration/graduation party to move up into Jr. High youth group was on June 2.  I have no idea why I remember this, except that I thought I was the epitome of cool to be in Jr. High. Maybe I’ve learned some things since then.  Also significant about this day…I stepped on a bee in Westdale Park and my foot swelled up so big it couldn’t fit in my shoe.
  2. My dear neighbors back home in Bako had their second daughter on June 2, 1998.  I was almost ten, and got to go to the hospital to visit the mama, daddy, and new baby. It was incredible.  I have never seen a baby so new or so perfect. She turned 11 today.  Time flies.
  3. I just found out (thank you facebook) that my pastor’s b-day is today…Happy Birthday Bryan!
  4. For most of my life, I’ve either been just beginning summer break or so close I can taste it on this date. Its a wonderful feeling to be almost there.  The anticipation is building, and the boredom of summer hasn’t set in yet.
  5. It’s my blog’s 1 year anniversary!

And that’s all I can think of for now.  I just love June 2nd.
