What. A. Weekend.
We went to the Minnesota State Fair for fried food and a concert. I made my first batch of Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookies, aged for just under 48 hours. I found out the secret to my mom’s delicious Chex Mix (over twice as much butter as the recipe calls for!), which explains why I’ve always hated the packaged version. College football started, and both of our teams came out on top. I splurged on some great seafood. We finally started the process of painting our bathroom. I transferred the pictures from the first half of the weekend to my computer, and then my hard drive died. Kind of a bummer, but the result was replacing my nearly 5-year-old computer with a shiny, new computer, so not really that much of a bummer. Pretty awesome, actually.
Hope you all had a great weekend!




























Are these cookies as good as they claim they are?
They’re really good. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a chocolate chip cookie that changed my life, but they’re worth making.
Which MBP did you get? I LOVE mine.
The 15-inch. Not the retina display one. Still trying to figure it all out…
