Today, I made Honey Oatmeal Cookies. My girlfriend is out visiting a friend this evening, and that friend requested cookies, preferably oatmeal. The GF says that whenever she makes them they usually turn out like little bricks, so I told her I’d give it a try. The description for this recipe says they come out, “Soft and flaky. Good tasting.” I would say that’s fairly accurate. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough honey, but I improvised, using maple syrup (the real stuff) and a little brown sugar to make up the difference.
General results: Not bad, even though oatmeal cookies aren’t exactly on the top of my list of favorites…

And therefore a good time to try to get a new start on some of the things that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I think I’ve actually been doing this goal pretty much straight for the past year, but I’ve just been slack on updating it much of the time. But I figure I want to definitely get out and do something each weekend and have updates on it for all of 2012 before I mark it as complete. So, without further ado…
Yesterday, the girlfriend and I went down to Lewisville to a friend’s house for a New Year’s Eve party. It was a pretty fun get-together, about a dozen or so people.
Then today, we took the dog down to Petsmart to get a couple of things and then over to the dog park for an hour or so. So, one weekend so far this year, one weekend getting out into the world and doing some stuff…
Oh, and the picture is of Ernie, our corgi, all harnessed up and ready to head out to the car…

but I’ve got another one going now. I was up to nearly half a year when I screwed up and forgot to write for a day. Now I’ve got another streak of about a month and a half going, and I try to make it a habit to write every morning first thing when I get up. We’ll see if I can make it to the end of October next year, though…
