in defense of my predictability (a mini-post)

this picture is not from tonight.

although, the cookies i made looked exactly the same.
as i used the same recipe...
but i think they looked even yummier than in this pic,
taken last june.
i am still baffled as to how one can make cookies
that look like they're straight from a magazine.
but now that i've tried twice,
i feel it is a proven fact.
most scientific, if you will.
and if i can't screw 'em up,
no one can.

and in a most honest moment,
i will divulge my most secretest of recipes.
first, you'll need a bag of ghiradelli chocolate chips.
second, you'll need to follow the recipe on the back.

one day, when i have children,
i will tell them it is a recipe passed down
through the ages.
perfected by yours truly.
yep, i've saved all of my lies for my children.
but for you, lovies, nothin but the truth.
