friday . . already?

(the weeks go by so fast.) i made a banana, peanut butter and espresso smoothie (with almond milk as the base) for chanda and i for breakfast. it was incredibly tasty and i hope to make it tomorrow morning before she goes off to her dress rehearsal/recital performance. she has to leave at 8 am and has two shows. greg and i will attend at 6 pm.

  i made a batch of chocolate chip cookies from the madeleine shaw cookbook. she uses coconut sugar as a sweetener and i was impressed with how well it creamed with the butter. i did a mix of rice flour and buckwheat flour and broke up a bittersweet cocoa bar for the chips. i mistakenly didn't follow the directions for dropping the dough on the cookie sheet. i neglected to roll them into balls and they all melted into one another.

 i did much better with the second and third batches.

i'm on minerva duty this weekend. she's such a sweetie.

here she's all tucked in for the night.
