Baby, It's Cold Outside!

The weekend's gloomy, cloudy skies finally caved in yesterday...and gave us, drought prone LA'ers, some much needed rain. I have a love/hate relationship with the rain (as I do with LOST...2/2/10). Love the free car wash. Love the bathed lawn. But, hate the freezing house...58 degrees (inside) in fact.

In a previous post, I mentioned how much our house heater sucks. It's old and far from eco-friendly. We are major weenies and refuse to use the Lusk signature fireplace in our living room. So, what's a semi frozen blogger to do? Bake. Bake like a 50's wife and pray I don't set the smoke detectors off.

I found an easy peasy recipe a few months ago that I've been dying to try out; Crispy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (talk about a title hook!) And let me just say, I literally used the words, "heaven's to betsy" when I took the first bite- that's how amazingly delicious they were. 

Goliath cookies were on Chris' mind and so, he conquered. 

He made sure to include a quarter for good measure. Geez, this takes me back to my elementary school days of Friday after-school bake sales which included jumbo pickles and saran wrapped giant cookies at 50 cents a pop. Those were the days.

And what better way to end the post but with a picture of our much awaited sectional.

She's here!!
