cranberry chocolate chip cookies!

well, i survived acl reconstruction surgery.  still not feeling the greatest from the pain pills, but the pain has peaked and is now subsiding, thank goodness.  i could do without the nausea though.  no one tear your acl's.  no fun at all.  i'll spare you from a pic.  my knee looks like quasimodo's from the hunchback of notre dame.  huge, knobby, and swollen.  

mom and dad have been amazing in helping to take care of me.  the simplest things require help now.  =(  i baked mom some cranberry chocolate chip cookies tonight.  (with her help of course, hehehe.  sigh, my reality these days).  the cranberries were fresh!
i love the pop of color!  here they are done:
sweet with a pop of tartness.  love them!

i know the bunks has been missing me.  he's been caged a lot because i don't want him chewing the power cables and tubes of my ice machine.  but, when the coast is clear, he's allowed out for a little bit, and the furball always hops in bed to snuggle me.  such a cutie.
tomorrow, i endeavor to sew!  whooo!!  the grad school class is done... my final has been turned in.  let the sewing begin!

  1. Interesting, I've never used fresh cranberries before for cookies. Did you add extra sugar to compensate for the tartness?
