this morning a little wrapped cookie on a stick was waiting for me on my desk. i didn't know who it was from, but when i found out i felt like a fool. of course it was from angelica. she is the queen of cute things and thoughtful gifts.
she is also the queen of letting you know of a good bargain. so it should come as no surprise that as soon as i told her thanks, she told me that it was one of the "rejects." you know, no offense. not that i would have taken any. besides it tasted great, i didn't get a hint of reject at all.
ps. thanks for the dinner samshrew!

last night was a pretty amazing food adventure, our meal at manresa took five hours. that's right, five. we arrived at six, and left at eleven. it started with madelines and ended with them as well. you'd think after a five hour meal i wouldn't want to eat again, but here i am the following day planning a wee dinner party. what is wrong with me?
in addition to making dinner I decided to whip up a batch of snickerdoodles. i usually only make chocolate chip cookies, but thought i'd branch out and try something new. besides, the cinnamon seemed fall-festive, and although the weather has been pretty nice, it's hard to ignore the season when it's completely dark by 6pm.
oh and for the record, i hate it when we lose daylight savings.
