Chocolate chip, walnut cookies




I love to bake. And one of my favorite desserts to bake are cookies. During my vacation back in good ol' San Diego, my siblings had asked if I could bake my chocolate chip, walnut cookies. And so I did. One batch of cookies equals to about 55-60 cookies, depending on how big I make them. If I make them a bit smaller, one batch equals to about 70-75 cookies. Anywho, I made big cookies this time around and by the third day the cookies were gone. Maybe next time I'll make oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies and hopefully it'll last a bit longer than three days.

Buon Appetito!





While on vacation in San Diego, my husband and I met up with our friends, C and E at an Italian restaurant called Buon Appetito in Little Italy. It's a very cute Italian restaurant where you know it's the real deal because the waiters/waitresses speak in Italian. I knew I should not have stopped learning Italian, I would have been able to speak with our wait staff. Oh well. Anywho, I ordered the Farfalle con Pollo Affumicato. Basically it's grilled chicken with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and eggplant in a white wine cream sauce with bow-tie pasta. It was very delicious! Hubby ordered the Linguini allo Scoglio. He says his dish was good. And it's not very often my hubby enjoys a dish because he can be a picky eater.
