last night i made Ginger Spice Cookies. in an effort to be healthy, i substituted apple sauce for most of the oil (i still put in a little bit, though; i'm trying to be healthy, not crazy). they turned out awesome. the batter was super sticky, though - which is often a side effect of cookies with molasses in them - but i shoved the batter into the freezer for 15 minutes to harden it up. anyway, this is probably my most successful attempt at ginger cookies. will definitely be keeping this recipe in my files (is it sad that i have an elaborate filing system for recipes, and yet i have no idea where my resume is?).
the best part was that my entire apartment smelled like Christmas.
tonight is all about homemade mushroom soup and whole wheat biscuits. i am basically centering my life around comfort food. also, tonight gwen stefani is doing a live special on muchmusic! for about 3 seconds, i contemplated going down there to see her live, but didn't think i'd really fit in with the crowd. plus once stefani sees me, she'd totally want me to go on tour as her stylist/assistant/best friend, and i just don't have the room in my life for that right now.
lastly, i started reading a book about having a Quarterlife Crisis! i figured since i am exactly 25, i might as well read a book with "quarter" in the title. the book is pretty good and if you are in your 20s or early 30s and feel like you aren't "doing" life right or are wondering if you are going down the wrong path or whatever, you may be interested in it. basically, the theory is that we are of a generation that has so many effing choices available to us that we often second guess the ones we make. it also focuses on how not to compare yourself to your peers, and how to find the "right" path, if there is such a thing. it is pretty much a self-help book. i feel pretty stable and rut-free lately, but every so often it is nice to read a self-help book because Lord only knows that a rut or a panic attack re: my life choices is just around the corner.
good times.
