Drizzle, Drawing and Cookies!

No photo from yesterday. I am really grumpy about my camera quality. How do I keep breaking CF

cards? Sigh... Breaking out some watercolor pencils is much more fun for me this way. If I should 

want a crummy, grainy picture, I should just draw it instead! Except trying to do plaid; it is very 

difficult for the novice. The weather was miserable, but I was cozy in some knit tights, hat and 

boots. Bring it on, Winter!

Since it was requested, here is the yummy recipe I used to make Butterscotch-Chip Oatmeal Raisin 

cookies last week. Experiment with the added goodies (do coconuts and raisins go together?) and 

try making a half-batch, since you'll probably eat them all the first day ;)
