Awww, I like raisins. Oatmeal cookies, oatmeal, in yogurt with cucumber and dill. Nom!!!

I have no strong opinions on these topics.

what I do have? alone time tonight, tomorrow and half of Friday. mac is off with grandparents to visit gg and his cousins. I am getting a massage tomorrow and possibly adult socialization.

Chocolate chips do not belong in oatmeal cookies. Raisins do.

Exactly. And nuts: my perfect oatmeal cookie has both raisins and walnuts in it. Or pecans. Yum.

But I often put chocolate chips in banana bread, at least I do for yeasty banana bread. Quick banana bread gets no chocolate chips from me, though. Dunno why.

I love choco chips in banana bread.

It's overcast here and has definitely cooled down. So much nicer than it has been in days and days.

Woo for adult socialization!

Which means HOOKERS AND BLOW.

ION, xkcd has made me want to re-watch LotR: [link] Yup, all I need is that tenuous of a connection to want to re-consume media. (I heard Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be with You" in the car on the way home and now I want to re-read "Welcome to Temptation." I really am *that* easily swayed.)

Yay adultness!

I am meh on raisins in my oatmeal cookies. I did however go to a little local bakery today with my mom and we got cinnamon rolls and sugar cream pie. Nom.

I am seriously gaining weight here at my mom's house. She believes I am otherwise underfed, appearances to the contrary.

Eh, I can take or leave chocolate chips in most non-standard places.

Whereas, I'm NUTS about NUTS!

I like nuts in almost everything, as well as by themselves, by the handful. Not annoying fake hazelnut or almond flavoring, but actual nuts. In salads, desserts, bread, cookies, on most breakfast foods (haven't found a good way to incorporate them in eggs and bacon yet), and even as a substitute breading on fish. Hmmmm. I'm noticing a lack of nut-related soups in that list. I'll have to do something about that.

Nuts should be ground into paste. I hate their texture. But their flavour can work for me.

Raisin oatmeal cookies are the one true cookie.

Jesse, did I submit a Batman link to the goodstuff tumblr?

God, I'm glad to be home. Now I have pear to eat in addition to the apple sauce.

Texture is why I don't like macadamia or Brazil nuts. But I like walnuts or almonds in most things. Cashews and pecans are hit or miss depending on the item. I avoid pine nuts since the dreaded pine nut mouth incident.

I like raisins in oatmeal cookies. I like chocolate chips as long as they are dark chocolate, in just about any sweet treat.

but don't get me started on what an abomination shredded coconut is!
