choc chip cookies!

My female owner is out of steam, coz everyone around her is in a holiday mood and she is finding it difficult to maintain her momentum… to start work on her ethics essay due on Monday. She sat on the essay for a few days because she was just so tired of pushing herself. Besides, she had endless to-dos to see to each day.. and that took up hours each day. She can’t believe that she has to go to school from Mon to Thurs next week, even though she only has two clients booked in. The only reason why she doesn’t need to go to school on Friday is because she need to fly home (yay!)

As part of her procrastination and trying-not-to-feel-like-a-loser-who-cant-have-a-holiday-when-everyone-else-is-having technique, my female owner tried baking some chocolate chip cookies just now with a recipe she copied from the bookstore… The picture had looked promising..

See her maiden choc chop cookie dough (with a hint of crushed walnuts)

They expand really big and quick, like her temper!
The customary close-up. Certainly not what she was aiming for.
A slight back-track to how the cookies looked, baking in her untrusty oven
The cookies remained soft and suspiciously uncooked after 10 mins. So she did another 3 + 3 mins... and the cookies ended up looking charred. =(

Hmm… so apparently the cookies turned out the way she expected them to (not the charred bit though), and not in the way she hoped they would. So that means that she needs to go on trying other recipes, in search of that magical (and evasive) taste.
