My love affair with Instagram is no secret. Here are shots that capture the past month:

My recent attempt at a chocolate chip mango oatmeal cookie didn’t quite cut it. I improvised the recipe and it was fine, but certainly not exceptional. The important discovery I made in that experiment was that I really prefer a chewy oatmeal cookie to the crispier style. As any good procrastinator would do, I performed a quick Google search instead of writing a paper. It should come as no surprise that Deb had a really appealing recipe on her blog for “Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.” Yesterday morning, I took a stick of butter out of the fridge to soften for the whole day so that I would have to make them in the evening. And I did. And I substituted chocolate chips for the raisins (and left out the cinnamon). And they are magical. Truly delicious.
Go forth and make cookies, my friends.
Recently I acquired an iPhone and now take one Instagram snapshot after another. Make all the fun you want – I appreciate the very casual nature of it. I have an amazing DSLR, but it doesn’t go everywhere with me the way my phone does. Here are a few recent shots I like:
Top to bottom: Self-Portrait, Meyer Lemons, California Sunset, Kitchen Vignette
And in case you are a digital photography purist, I’ll post some DSLR photos later this week.
