cookie time

•I cannot write this post without thinking of dear Nie.  I have been praying, fasted, and continue to pray as well as read her sister CJane's blog about any news/progress.  Like many other bloggers, Nie has inspired me, and I think she would truly approve of this entry. 
•Dear bloggers, I do think of you often.  Is that not normal?  We are connected somehow in a unique way.

•Because my newlywed buddies put me up for a few days it was only right that I cook for them in their darling, vintage Provo home.  I made Pioneer Woman's oatmeal crispies.  Probably my second favorite cookie now.  I am in love.  With the simplicity, the crispiness, and the fact that they were a hit at "cookie night."

•My friends, Dan and Robynn- happy with the stack of...

•delicious.  light.  food orgasm.  oatmeal crispies.  with, oh yes, pecans mixed in.  divine. 
•and I love stacking my cookies on a plate, gives a great visual look.  It would be fun to place them in glasine bags, tie them with gigham ribbon, and a homemade tag.  Hmm... I smell a Christmas idea coming on! 
•I don't know about you, but at the end of my life I want to stand before my maker and say, I MADE EVERYTHING I COULD.  I BAKED ALL I COULD, CREATED ALL I COULD, LOVED ALL I COULD, AND I AM USED UP!  I am carefully sucking every ounce of creativity out of myself.  Good idea, huh?
