Accomplishment

My my....yesterday I felt so accomplished! I was hungry for some homemade, fresh, hot-out-of-the-oven cookies, so I "whipped some up" in about 15 minutes (not counting baking time) But that's not exactly why I feel accomplished.....it's the fact that I was out of certain ingredients, and made do, and they still turned out! Ah! Nice! (Forget the fact that we ate Indian version of Ramen Noodles for supper....and had no side dishes....I guess all my creativity went to the cookies instead *ahem*)



Because I am still basking in the success of my recipe, I will attempt to repeat it for you (I do not have the recipe nearby):
