Sweet (and semi-sweet) Jane


Vicki has this recipe for chocolate chip cookies that she got years ago from a former colleague who had some kind of black belt in pastry abilities. It was apparently a measure of this woman's esteem that she even gave Vicki the recipe, and so whenever we make these cookies it feels like we're carrying on some kind of important culinary tradition.

Mostly, though, they're just ridiculously good. And Jane got her first taste of them today.



Our girl is usually not much for chocolate, but clearly she's willing to make an exception.

And yes, that's a pen-and-ink cat face drawn on her forearm. Samson went to a birthday party yesterday, and the kids all got temporary tattoos in their goodie bags. Despite the fact that I cadged an extra one so we could bring it home to Jane, she demanded one for each arm.

Hence the Hello Kitty goes to Riker's look on our 22-month-old.
