Cooking
Sometimes, all you can do is bake.
One of the easiest cookie recipes I've come across, and so good. Soft, fragrantly peanut butter-y.
They're for a few friends of mine; I can't do what they do, but I can bake. So, DP, Sere, et al? Help yourselves.
This month, we're sleeping in a little late, but the party won't suffer...we're having Brunch!

Maybe it's because Brilynn finally joined Twitter, but I had this sudden urge to make empanadas. Quick search found this; the pastry was fantastic. The filling, good (using Morningstar Farms crumbles for me) but could use a little something else....
- Scenes From A Party...in Space
From Alex's party yesterday; the theme was outer space and yes, he dressed as Mars' most famous son, J'onn J'onzz. He was trying to look all serious, and super-hero-y here. With the mask...which was pretty nifty. Live-Action Comics!...
