For the most part, I enjoy cooking. However, there are few things that I can say that I do particularly well. The one thing I make that is usually bound to get a good reaction is my chocolate chip cookies. It's a pretty generic recipe, but I've added a couple of my own touches. My family really likes them, but my co-workers go crazy for them. This past January when our colleagues were here from the UK and the Philippines, I made some for a work party. And they loved them too. In fact, my friend Preeti, who lives in the UK, even asked me to make some for her to take home to her husband. Word is that he loved them, too. So now I consider my cookies to be world-famous. Here's a sample for you all to drool over.
For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time

Also, I like my cookies to be pretty light on top, so I only leave them in for about 8 minutes. :)
