Clearly, I should just give up on cookies and stick with cakes. The cake I made today came out beautifully:
I came across this foodie blog yesterday and have been obsessed with it for the last twenty-four hours. Everything looks so delicious, especially the savoury dishes, but especially the the sweet things. My cake was based on her honey date walnut cake, with some changes. Namely, no honey, dates, or walnuts! Instead, I soaked raisins in maple syrup, since that's what I had to hand.
Sara and I had been planning to try a new (to us) Indian restaurant for lunch today -- The Vegetarian -- and it didn't disappoint. They even directed us to a great little Indian grocer (Asia Imports on Central and 18th) afterwards, where I was able to find jaggery and gram flour, and they even sell pans and dishes.
I'll definitely return -- because they also sell biscuits from the UK! Digestives and Bourbons and what seems to be HobNobs (with a different name). Delicious. I'm not crazy about empires and flags and guns and all that, but I do like a new source of oaty goodness!
Ah, yes, the cunning use of flags..
Damn, I have to stop reading your blog while I'm on a diet!
I know, I know, everything is moderation is fine, but still..
I think you should sell prints of your photos. They're always so wonderful!

Thanks for the cake. It was super tastey. I enjoyed it with my tea and a side of sliced fruit. Yum! I'll let you know how the chocolate gingerbread turns out.
