@ArachneJericho Ditto! I did the Flit Orphans storylet (Shadowy 40) until it finally took away the Try Again.
@pathar I admit I worry about not being able to see the new stuff just because I play every day. (I'm nearly maxed out now.) #ebz
@ArachneJericho Quite convenient :D I'm going back to that when I'm done Duelling- it's one of the most fun sections, even w/the minor grind

Cranberry, Oatmeal & Walnut Cookies
When he found dried cranberries at Winco in the bulk food section (love), he asked me to make him a batch of cranberry walnut cookies. Now, one thing you should know about my husband is that he’s crazy for whole wheat. I changed out all-purpose for whole wheat in my chocolate chip cookies and made him a very happy man, so I knew that whatever recipe I wound up using needed to use whole wheat too.
In the end, I took one I particularly liked for inspiration and played around. I think they came out pretty darn good — and I’m not even that particularly crazy about oatmeal cookies! These aren’t spreaders, they bake up soft, puffy and chewy with just a hint of spice.

Mini Coconut-Chocolate Pies
Okay, these little minis are really little brothers to my German Chocolate Pie with a few changes. What I love about these is that they’re fast, single-serving pies with plenty of crust and room for topping.
Now I loved the German Chocolate Pie, but it was just on the edge of being too sweet. I decided to try semi-sweet chocolate instead of sweet chocolate and was amazed at the stronger, richer flavor. The sweetness was just perfect.
Daring Cooks Challenge: Salmon en Croute
The 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Simone of Junglefrog Cooking. Simone chose Salmon en Croute (or alternative recipes for Beef Wellington or Vegetable en Croute) from Good Food Online.
Overall, this dish came out very well. The pastry-wrapped fish is not really to my taste, however, so I wouldn’t opt to make this again. I would much prefer a simple broiled salmon with butter and lemon to this. But, if it appeals to you, I can vouch that it is quite good.

Flourless Chocolate Cake (With a Twist)
A flourless chocolate cake made from beans? That I have to try. It’s just so out there, at least to my mind, that I really want to see if it works and if it really, honestly, truly tastes like chocolate fudge cake.
The verdict? Soft, fudgey and definitely chocolatey. Guilt-free chocoholism at its finest. The Truvia worked well, though I wonder if I cooked it even slower than might have been strictly necessary.

Happy Anniversary to us!
Yesterday was my husband and I’s 1st anniversary. We’d been discussing what we should do for a few months, floated the idea of going to our tiny town’s new fancy restaurant, Sostanza, and mused over our options.
In the end, we decided to stay home and cook a multi-course meal of some of our favorite dishes.
