by Anna on March 31, 2008 · 2 comments

I never got around to making Baked Alaska for Seward’s Day, but I did what seems to be a good recipe. Plus, it’s a great way to use up brownies. This recipe makes 9 little Alaskas, but I suspect most people will eat half the brownies (or more!) and make 2 or 3 …

Easy and Good Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

by Anna on March 31, 2008 · 17 comments

Adapted from an old recipe in Cuisine at Home, this is my very favorite oatmeal cookie.

Alaska Purchase Check

Now go out and buy yourself something pretty… …like Alaska. Happy Seward’s Day, North Americans! I’ll get back to you when I think of an appropriate cookie for this holiday, though I suspect it’s going to be oatmeal raisin because that’s what I’m craving today. P.S. Image is from Wikipedia

I hope everyone’s having a nice weekend. I know one person who is……MC Hammer. It’s his birthday. What do you think M.C. Hammer does on his birthday? MC (or is it just Hammer?) shares his birthday with Celine Dion, Eric Clapton, Vincent Van Goh and others. I’m going to check this site every day.

Ginger-Toffee Cookies
