Thank goodness our bedroom suite arrived today. Two workers are assembling it all, as I type this. If Hubby and I attempted, we'd have nervous breakdowns and it wouldn't get done for weeks. Hopefully they'll be done by dinner. In the meantime, Hubby started assembling our new gas grill. He barely got through two steps before stopping.
I made my first chocolate chip cookies in my new home. They are yummy, but a little flatter than I'd like, yet still chewy. They don't have the same kind of brown sugar here as in the US, so I ended up making my own using granulated white, and molasses. A clerk in the grocery store didn't even know what molasses is. Neither did my sister-in-law. Luckily I found some in the health food section. Chocolate chip cookies wouldn't be the same without this type of brown sugar. Next time I'll add some more flour and refrigerate the dough longer. Perhaps that will make them less flat. It's a real adventure baking here!
