I awoke this morning to a gorgeous day! This was especially pleasing because I was expecting rain. I am very glad I got this ride in … on the way back it started to really cloud up, get cold, and windy. Not much else to say today, just some pretty pictures.

Had an amazing post-ride Jonagold apple.

Tonight, I’m cooking lemon herb chicken and “Baby Bella” mushrooms on the George Foreman. Salad. Multigrain bread. Maybe a little cheese. A glass of red wine. Oh, and homemade from scratch coconut cake for dessert.

I made the cake for a birthday party on Friday.

The party was canceled. Oh, dear…

Skyping with my Sweetheart … he says he loved the cookies, but that I’ll need to remake them so that he can check again!

He’s hoping for more and wondering why it’s been a month since I’ve made him cookies. Looks like more cookies this weekend… hmm … must think of new experimental recipes … what’s in the pantry?

He’s requesting classic chocolate chip with walnut or pecan.

Classic chocolate chip pecan it is.

Later …

Only one problem … I forgot the pecans, but I did sneak some toffee bits in there.

From the smiles these cookies brought, I don’t think he missed the pecans too much.

It’s important to understand that when you decide to be with a foodie, that you may sometimes be subject to experimentation. Recipe experimentation, that is. Introducing the beta batch of Almond Butter Toffee Cookies … They smell good. They look good. Will they taste good? I’ll know the official results when my sweetheart arrives later this afternoon.

And, just in case these are not a hit, my Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

… sure to please!

We’re headed off to friends’ 25th wedding anniversary party tonight.
