Not a lot to say today. I satisfied my craving for Hot and Sour Soup on Tuesday. Plus had lots of good eats at the Mandarin restaurant. I expect that will be the last visit this year. I also bought some for takeaway which I will probably have for lunch tomorrow. Matt isn't really interested in it so just bought enough for me.
One thing, I was looking at a ring on Amazon.ca for Matt to buy me for Christmas. I went right through the process up to the end when I discovered they wanted $40 for shipping and handling!
What? one tiny little ring to be shipped in Canada to a Canadian address. Nuts to that. Pity. However there are two jewellers locally going out of business so maybe we will go see what they have. I have gone nuts about Tanzanite and really want a ring. Mind you, the ones I would really like are considerably outside my price range, running into the thousands. I seem to remember this particular one which I showed the other day was up in the high $4 - $5,000s, The one I was looking at was at a very reduced price, although I couldn't tell just how small it was. I would possibly have been disappointed I guess.
As I said, I have never made cookies. So I thought maybe I would have a look at some recipes and see how hard, or easy, it would be for me to do. I came across this one from Kevin's Closet Cooking. I have left in all the details.
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Option: Top with drizzled chocolate!
Have a great day
