Deeelicious Vegan Cookies!


I love to bake cookies-- seriously, I can't get enough of it-- and recently I have stumbled upon two AMAZING recipes. I'm not so much of a "recipe inventor" as a "recipe follower", so I will just share the links to the original recipes.
The picture above features "Molasses Vanilla Bean Snickerdoodle Cookies" from
VegWeb.
I took the picture myself, which is amazing, considering that I had to stop eating them long enough to grab my camera. Usually snickerdoodles aren't my favorite kind of cookie (I'm more of a chocoholic), but this recipe is really, REALLY good.

The other cookies I made were "Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies" from The Post Punk Kitchen.
I made these for the 4th of July, and unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to take a picture before they were all eaten (although that gives you an idea of how good they are.)
Side note: the dough for these turned out very sticky: so much so that I had to use a spatula to scrape it off my fingers. I'm not sure if this was an error on my part, but the end product was delicious!

..and so, an idea was born!


Today, I had a grand idea. Illustrations. See, I love blogs that include pictures, with little witty captions. And while I can't promise any witty captions, I can sure as heck provide some illustrations. As of yet they don't follow any logical pattern or story line. I guess this is sort of a test run.
Above is a portrait of Momo, my 4-year-old Tortie cat. Here, she is playing one of her favorite games, "Bite the Hand that Feeds You."


Here is a man that I drew. I did not look at a source image. I do not know who this man is. He originated from the recesses of my brain. Actually, I draw a lot of these people. I guess drawing imaginary people is my specialty. I could probably be a professional imaginary person drawer.

Since I've just graduated from college, I've been thinking a lot about what my next step will be: what kind of career I want, whether or not I want to go back to school, etc.
While nothings set in stone, and my plans could easily change, I think I might have it: I want to be an illustrator. Maybe a children's book illustrator? Anyway...
This blog was originally started for a class, but then I thought, why not use it for my own self-indulgent reasons? Namely, posting random stuff related to my life and my interests that no one else would really care about. Anyway, that's what I decided I'll do.
Maybe.
If I can think of anything exciting enough to say.
