Probably a place where I post pictures of food related things. Other, non-food related items may worm their way in.

It's still Christmastimeish

Christmas cookies? Why not. I was bored so I decided to make these ginger molasses crinkles in a few different ways. Nothing really groundbreakingly different of course, I was just curious. I had never used my silicone baking sheet for anything so I decided I would use it for these. I also used a normal baking pan aaaand some of the cookies were rolled in granulated sugar, and some in powdered (because it makes such a difference, right?).
The silicone was deceptive.



It doesn't feel particularly hot to the touch so I popped it back in the oven for a bit which was a mistake. It wasn't a disaster but I'll know for next time.

This is probably a normal metal pan with cookies on it. Yup.



And these are the cookies awaiting Santa (but not really). You will note that the glass was not filled because the picture was not taken on Christmas Eve. Santa probably doesn't visit soulless condo dwellers anyway.




Lamb curry. Yes, cookies to curry. Also, saffron rice. This is the kind of stuff you would get in an Indian restaurant, but a real Indian person would spit in your eye if you suggested that they might serve something like it in their home. It is quite tasty however.




This picture is much more recent. I had heard that Bulldog Coffee makes like, real espresso and uses real chocolate and stuff, so I had their Bavarian chocolate latte and it was incredibly good. I also scarfed a tasty walnut muffin and my friend had a cappuccino (the fern art on top is a bit hard to see, I didn't want the other patrons to give me too many odd looks).

I am so jealous of those coffees. I would love that! And now I'm going to have to go bake walnut muffins.

I like the cookies for Santa shot. And I would enjoy that lamb curry, it looks really tasty.

Well if you feel like adventuring around downtown Toronto someday when the highways are not paved with icy doom, we can all go to some nice not-Starbucks (it's usually cheaper too) and consume things.

Yum, lamb curry. Feel free to invite us over for lamb curry anytime. Not that I would drop hints or anything. Mmmm, lamb curry .....

I will take you up on that offer.

Starbucks is only good for sweet frilly drinks, not for actual espresso. :(
