Hey, long time no see. I know, I know, I’ve been gone a long time. Summer has been beautiful and really hot this year, just the way I like it. Why stay in facing a hot stove when you can be out in sandals on a patio drinking sangria? It’s a rather difficult choice, obviously.
I’ve been spending less on eating out lately – if you haven’t been living under a rock or in a cave somewhere, you’d know that the province will be implementing the HST shortly, meaning that eating out will be pricier. It all adds up. I’ve always handled my money very conservatively and nowadays I watch my numbers like a hawk most of the time. I was just at the bank this week to set up RRSP mutual funds. What can I say? I’m hoping to retire by, oh, I don’t know, 25.
When I retire I’ll probably end up cooking all the time, and maybe I’ll figure out a whole plethora of recipes that I consider tried and true. However, I only really only have a handful of those kinds of recipes right now, and I’ll share with you my favorite. This one is a no-brainer: these are the best chocolate chip cookies (to me). Everyone likes their own ccc differently; my favorite has a soft chew, an appropriate amount of chocolate, and sometimes a smattering of mysterious nuts. This is how it’s done.
