Falcor's Magic Luck Cookies

We have no wonderful, new photos to upload, so instead I (Dani, of course) am going to divulge the secret which I accidentally discovered for cookies so good they could unite all of humanity. If these cookies were humans, they'd have a starring role in "The Neverending Story" and poor Artax the horse would never have slipped into the Swamps of Sadness and I wouldn't have that awful, scarring image of Atreyu freaking out burned forever into my mind. So, here goes:

Heat your oven to 375

1/4 pound + 2 T butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/8 c flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t cinnamon
1 1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c shredded coconut

Mix the butter, sugars, eggs & vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients. Mix those together and add the chips & coconut. Bake them an inch apart for 10 minutes (or longer if your oven is a weak, old piece of crap). Eat a couple and give the rest to somebody who makes you happy.

Throughly Sullied

Beach Bums

We headed south to Ventura and Santa Barbara for Thanksgiving. It's so beautiful there and kind of exotic to this valley girl. I guess it must be the beach culture - all those little bungalows and grand, old seaside bath houses and resorts. I could have stayed for a bit longer, for sure.
