Saturday has been a busy day…well, busy by my lazy standards. This morning I went to have my blood let and got a sweet button and pin proclaiming that. I then went to my local library‘s “Friends of” semi-annual booksale.
But the main event: cookie making! Specifically, a recipe my grandma used to make back in the day for Christmas. There is a Don Rockwell picnic tomorrow and this is my contribution. Now, to the picto-recipe after the cut!

I think I’m in the mood to do some baking this weekend…but bake what? I have a recipe for some brown sugar peanut-butter cookies which sounds yummy…
…but I also have some low-fat cream cheese in the fridge which is keening for a cheesecake. Maybe a Key Lime Cheesecake? Marble Chocolate? Hmm…
Any ideas from internetland?
Welp, it’s the time for school to begin for elhi to college students alike. And, perhaps feeling the vibes, I’m actually thinking about taking a class or some classes myself. Part to learn something new and cool and part, if I’m being honest, in the hope of meeting new people. Though, really, hard to do in a 3-hour one-time class…hmm…
Still, classes! As a resident of Fairfax County, I’m looking over the Fairfax County ACE courses. I’ve looked at them all, and most of them sound cool, but FC is a big county and I’m not really looking to have to drive 1 hour in rush-hour traffic after work to get to a class. So, I’m focusing on ones near me (Annandale-ish area, the Plum Center is ideal).
To that end, I’ve identified two courses that I might do. First is Lebanese Cuisine: Vegetarian and the other is Indian Cuisine: Vegetarian. Very veggie of me, eh?
I’m also looking at Thai Cuisine as well, but it conflicts with the Lebanese course. I suppose right now I’m trying to decide, do I do Lebanese or Thai?
So, my two or so readers and my 5603242237 Russian spammers, which one should I choose? (I thought about doing a poll, but polls on WordPress aren’t as easy as I thought so I said screw that. It’s relaxing weekend time!)
Yours in student,
Matt
