So the first oops being of course my lack of posts over the last month. That whole grad school/finals thing kinda got in the way of, well, lots of things. But seeing has how I’ve got some time off now, hopefully I’ll be able to cook and/or write about it.
Ok, so the second oops. I forgot the cord to connect my camera to my computer during my travels (ok, didn’t really forget as much as I didn’t think I would need it.) Which means I can either go buy a cord, hunt around my parent’s house for something that can work, or I can post things without pictures. Since I’m feeling rather lazy about the whole missing cord dilemma right now, we’re going with option number three.
I guess there is also a third oops to this post. Over the weekend I stayed with one of my best friends in NYC, who conincidently is enrolled in pastry school at The French Culinary Institute (yea, my friends are kinda awesome). Although when I showed up at her apartment on Friday, I was surrounded by cookies. We’re not talking a batch of your regular toll house either. There were at least 10 dozen of several different kinds. So pretty much my final “oops” to this post was the fact that 2/3 meals each day consisted of cookies. I would pretty much wake up in the morning and eat cookies for breakfast. I would come home, “not hungry” and yet somehow ended up eating a couple of macaroons. Oops.
So this is where I would add a couple of pictures of the cookies, which include (but not limited to) macaroons (french kind, not coconut), Russian tea balls, biscotti, chocolate mint thumbprints, gingerbread, chocolate shortbread….yea, I’m pretty sure I’m missing a couple too.
So [insert picture here]

Then you drool a little bit. Then I totally plug her mad cookie skills and say she’s decided to start selling her baked goods. Drop me a line if you’re interested and I’ll get you in contact.
