Chocolate Cookies (Recipe)
Image by Ruthieki
I don’t usually stray too far from my standard cookie recipes (chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin), but I made this recipe the other day because I was craving cookies and I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. They were GOOD. Really, really good. Possibly my new favorite cookie of all time, even. They’re soft, a little cake-y, and really chocolatey (sort of like eating a brownie in cookie form).
2 cups all purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ¼ cups (2 sticks plus 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temp. (don’t microwave!)
2 cups sugar, plus more for dipping
2 large eggs
2 tsps vanilla extract
1. Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. Beat butter, sugar, and eggs on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. Add vanilla, mix to combine.
4. Gradually add flour mixture, and combine on low speed.
5. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
6. Heat oven to 350.
7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Dip top of each ball into sugar. Place on baking sheets about 1 ½ inches apart.
8. Bake until set, about 8 minutes.
9. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Makes about 45, or just short of three cookie-sheets worth.
I found that baking them for exactly 8 minutes in a properly pre-heated oven yielded perfect cookies. They were very soft and prone to falling apart while they were still hot, but once they cooled the texture was just right. Yum, looking at this picture makes me want to make these again right now… they only lasted about 2 days in my house, mostly since I was eating three for breakfast and three with every meal and three more as a bedtime snack.

Great Grandma’s Pickle Recipes
Image by Chiot’s Run
Last week my mom and I went down to my grandma’s house to go through some stuff. I asked my cousin about a few of my grandma’s recipes so I could take a few photos of them. She showed me all of grandma’s recipe boxes, they were filled with cards she’d written recipes on and clippings from magazines. She also showed me my great grandma’s recipe book. It was a collection of recipes scratched and pasted in to an old Railroad Ledger. It’s so great to see old well-used recipes written by my grandmothers.
I’m planning on taking these and making each one, taking photos and making a cookbook of family recipes, including photos of the recipes written by my grandma’s. I think this will make a wonderful Christmas present for family members.

mint tea & recipe
Image by austinevan
we enjoyed some energizing mint tea at a rest shop while on the long drive to the North African coast
After sampling various mint teas throughout Middle-East and Africa I found the "perfect" recipe (a very typical recipe for North African Mint Tea):
Ingredients:
8-12 leaves of fresh mint
4-6 leaves of fresh sage
1-2 sprigs of chamomile
1-2 t of "gunpowder" green tea
lots of sugar
In a small tea pot, add all ingredients, add boiling water to the fill, allow to steep for 3-5 minutes.
Serve in small glasses pouring from above the glass to create the traditional "foam" (takes some practice doing this – be careful).
substitute dried sage but use much less as dried sage tends to be much stronger and can give the tea a very bitter taste.
