Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside

I was supposed to meet Rod downtown for lunch, but I woke up feeling really sick, so I just canceled and stayed home. I'm so sorry, Rodney! I know you're sitting there, thinking "I could say something."

When I moved into this bachelor pad, I went through the cupboard with all the baking ingredients (vanilla extract, brown sugar, frosting, etc.) and found that everything had already expired or was on the verge of expiring (it's the same case with the food in the fridge, but that's another story). It's as if the cupboard hadn't been opened since 2006, when my stepmom was alive and well. I went out and replaced the old expired stuff with fresh organic baking ingredients (love, thy name is Trader Joe's). Today I got a strong urge to bake cookies, so I went ahead and made chocolate chip/walnut cookies. Yum!
