Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies

The temperature has dropped these past few days, so I have been shivering in my room watching movies and eating cookies and coconut butter hoping to boost the old circulation while I still have free time. Oh, and shopping - sales are wonderful! I love having a job! I wish I lived next door to a mall.

I watched The Birds - so-so, shots of flying birds very fake. Donnie Darko - extremely confusing, with a hilarious rabbit. A Beautiful Mind  - depressing, but well-acted. And I've been re-watching bits and pieces of Mad Men and remain more convinced than ever of its brilliance. I am anxiously awaiting Season 5.

These past few days have been quite eventful, cooking-wise.

I made chewy oatmeal-raisin cookies from Veganomicon. I used atta instead of all-purpose flour and dark brown sugar instead of white. Highly recommended for dunking. I don't think I can post the recipe, for copyright reasons. Enjoy the pictures :) I am slightly sad that I made these two days ago and there is not one single solitary cookie left. I accuse my parents and especially my leetle sister of eating more than their allowance.

Also eating super-cheap super-delicioso soba noodles from a Japanese grocery I found with super-cheap super-magnifico tofu from another grocery. Mon Dieu, I am in LOVE with cheap Asian groceries.

I have recently rediscovered how much I adore fried marinated extra-extra-firm tofu.

Have a good weekend! See you next time for a recipe post.
