okay, i wish to be done unpacking now. i finally got around to putting books up on shelves, and i just a few minutes ago managed to drop a short stack of about 5 hardbacks from a height of about 4 feet, squarely on my big toe.

wow, did that hurt.

on the bright side, i feel fully justified that i can have a cookie to soothe my angst and pain. and not just any cookie… a peanut butter cup!

i made these yesterday, trying to recreate a fond childhood memory of a cookie sold by a bakery that we occasionally went to. it isn’t quite like i remembered it, but it’s good enough for now (and for some ideas for attempt #2, not least of which will be “don’t use premade milk chocolate icing unless you really do intend for your teeth to die of sugar as you are still eating”).
