36 hours of cookies

I have found it!  The best chocolate chip cookies in the world.  I've seen many blogs referring to the 36 hour chocolate chip cookies printed in the New York Times. I've never made these cookies (because really, who wants to wait 36 hours for cookies?) but decided to finally try them. The dough must chill for 36 hours before you can bake them (this just meant Erik ate dough out of the refrigerator for 36 hours).

These cookies were fantastic!  Really fantastic!  My friends Tricia and Andria tried them and thought they looked like cookies you'd buy at Starbucks or some other coffee shop (although mine were yummier!). 

Wait!  One is missing!  Where could it be?

Aha! Here is the missing cookie :).  Erik ate the cookies as well as the dough.

This summer we went swimming at the Lifetime pool every Wednesday.  Due to the fact that Sarah would indiscriminately jump in the water whether she could touch or not, I thought she should have swimming lessons for safety reasons.  The girl has no fear!

So both girls are in swimming lessons and are loving it.

Erik was gone last weekend to a church conference in Minnesota.  He learned a lot and loved the conference but was exhausted when he came back.  To celebrate his return I made a nice dinner served on our china and made salted caramel espresso brownies for dessert. Below is a picture. They tasted so delicious, but my salted caramel sauce was too runny. It had only half a cup of heavy cream and half a cup of water in it so it didn't have too much liquid.  I think I'll have to keep experimenting with this recipe though.

Bummer.
