HAPPY DECEMBER!!!

LJ: Good morning, Marguerite!
M: Morning!!!! Hit me!
LJ: You asked for it... Here's 104 pages of fic for you to print out, and that's only from one of the four fests you will be following this month. Check back in an hour.
M: *pets printer* Be good to me, honey. I've got more ink coming.

While my printer chugs along... recipes! They begin! I'm kinda posting in the order in which the recipes are easily available to me. (ie:no other at all). Some of your requests will be fulfilled in ways that you have to squint to see how your request matches the recipe, but lots of requests were similar (quite a few requests for vegetarian dishes and vegetable side dishes). If you don't like the recipe i posted for you, I hope you will like one of the recipes posted throughout the month. If haven't yet - feel free to add a request here. :D

This first recipe was the easiest. melusinahp requested my favourite cookie recipe. Happy baking!

These cookies (when not over-cooked) are a perfect combination of chewy and crunchy. And the oatmeal gives a nice hardy feel to them, while the chocolate is pure decadence.

A note on parchment paper. I use parchment paper on all my cookie sheet/baking sheets. It a fabulous for everything from cookies to chicken wings. Saves on the clean up, and it stops from ruining your food by losing half of it to sticking/burning. I use the disposable parchment that you can buy next to the plastic wraps/aluminum foil stuff. yes, bad for the environment - good for the food.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!! Happy birthday sesheta_66 ♥

My Wish List

What The List Is All About...
• Make a post to your LJ with a list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, big or small, expensive or free, fandom-related or not. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

• If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

• Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

• Surf around your friends list to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use—or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free—do it.

• You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf—to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not — it's your call.

• There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
