Llamas & Sheep

Feeling great again, so happy not to be sick. Actually almost got 8 hours sleep, which didn't hurt. B & Mil went and did their thing, and Edie & I got on the big bike and went to Frankie's on Court Street to have a meal with a good friend, who also arrived on bike. The three of us pedalled over to the Prospect Park Zoo for an afternoon of monkeys, llamas and sheep.

Got home 3pmish, and the bike ride was a bit much -- my constitution is not fully recovered, a bike ride so short should not have drained me, but it was great to be out in the crisp air. Baked a bit, then we popped over to some neighbors for dinner, it was a nice change of pace.


TODAY'S COOKING
Chocolate Chip Cookies: Wanted to bring something nice for the hosts, and I already had espresso-heavy chocolate ice cream in the fridge, so baked off some cookies to sandwich it in. Used the Cook's Country recipe, which while only subtly different, is vastly superior to the Tollhouse recipe, as it uses weights instead of volumes, and is designed to be that sweet spot between chewy and crispy --- when you go volumes, you never quite know if you'll get tall dry cookies or flat greezy cookies...
