Tonight I needed to make up for an entire weekend spent outside of my kitchen. So we started with making a great dinner
Those are double baked potatoes stuffed with brocolli, soy cheese and S&P - they were really good and the tops got nice and crispy. mmm... With those I had a roasted portobello mushroom marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil and oregano. I wasn't expecting much, but it really turned out fantastic - so sweet and soft. Then ofcourse some roasted asparagus with olive oil and S&P.
After dinner, we were both craving something sweet so I went through the pages of my cookbooks and found a recipe for Dad's Molasses Cookies. In the midst of mixing my dry ingredients, I realized that I was missing allspice and ground ginger. We went out and Dave suggested that we check out the little convenience store underneath our apartment - I bet him that he wouldn't have it, but low and behold there it was (and I didn't even need to pay through the roof for convenience!)
These are them in the oven:
Dave and I just stared through the oven door for what seemed like the 12-14 minutes of baking - I think we were really looking forward to some ginger snappin' action!
And finally, these were them:

That is the first pic I have seen on a blog of cookies actually baking up in the oven - very cool shot and they look delicious all done and ready to eat too!
oh, of course I found your blog via Megan!! :)
are those from VwaV?
Wow! I had five hint of lime Doritto's and five chichen fingers last night. Guess I should have skipped Tennis huh?
Mmmm, those cookies look perfect!
It's surpising what one can find in the apartment convenience store.
The cookies look awesome, and I don't even like ginger snaps!
Dreena - thanks for the blog visit. It was Dave's idea to take it, and he actually figured out the settings that would work on the camera (credit to him!)
Meg - nope, they're from that book I picked up in Victoria "One Smart Cookie"
Trevor - Yes, you should have come for dinner (but the invite is always open!)
Don't get mad...- I have to say, they were pretty darn good!
Judy - the one thing the store didn't have was bubble bath (I wanted a bubbly bath one time) but since then, the owenr has promised to stock up on some!
