I finally made the "perfect" chocolate chip cookie this week. They're okay; they have that mall-cookie taste, instead of the homemade-cookie taste. They're just as easy as any chocolate chip cookie I've ever made, but I'll probably stick with my memorized recipe.

One of my favorite summer meals is avocado, baked with blue cheese and walnuts. It's simple and delicious.

Does anyone know if the conversion for self-rising flour (substituting 1 cup of all purpose flour minus 2 tsp., and add 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt to make the full cup) works with cake flour?

If it was too much junk, I just do a fruits, nuts, and maybe cheese week. Pear and gorgonzola flat breads or salads. Roasted figs in honey with pine nuts. Maybe mix in a meal of sweet potatoes roasted with rosemary.

If it was too rich food, too much meat, too much whiskey, I'll do a bananas-rice-applesauce-toast week.

This Sicilian pistachio spread recipe is impossibly easy and amazing. Mostly, i just eat it on bread, but I've added it to tuna sandwiches or cheese sandwiches. Also, this smashed chickpea sandwich would be a nice change of pace. You can also make cucumber sandwiches, substituting radishes for the cucumbers, they're a bit spicy and nicely crunchy.

They are much better in theory than practice, I've found.

Bacon cheese burger. The Guy is vegetarian, though, so I only eat meat/fish that's delivery-food or at a restaurant. All the cooking at home is no-meat. So I rarely have beef more than once a month. Each one is like that first off-the-wagon bacon cheeseburger. So.Yummy.

Yes, we have a "kitchen laptop" but I find i can't effectively cook from a recipe on the screen. We mostly use the kitchen laptop for ordering delivery or take out!

I eat beef most often--BUT I only eat it once a month (sometimes twice).

I like to use it in biscuits.
