I am not a particularly religious person, but if hell is hotter than this apocalypse outside, it is time for me to become a better person. I cannot handle this shit. I haven’t left my boyfriend’s place since yesterday and the only thing that will push me out today is the fact that I want to try making my first chocolate chip cookies and I need to get the ingredients. I will update you on my success or failure. I’ve never baked before, at least a traditional recipe. I tried baking healthy versions of desserts but now I want to try the real thing. I had no goddamn idea that chocolate chip cookies had that much sugar in them.
So anyway, how is the heat treating you? I am thoroughly missing the WFH days because now I have to go to the office every day and let me tell you something – public transport is a particular type of punishment during these summer months. I travel by tram from and to work and it is a bit easier now since school is done, but there’s still a lot of people traveling with trams and not all of them believe in showers and deodorant.
I have, for some reason, a ridiculously good sense of smell which does not aid me in these situations but what I’ve come to realize is that because I can smell everything and everyone around me so well, I got obsessed with smelling good. I have a whole elaborate shower and exfoliation routine, I have like two deodorants, perfume always on and I also have a body spray in my office, just in case.
Today, I decided to catch up on my reading. I am currently missing Italian so I am reading Freida McFadden but an Italian translation. I am resting today because I have to be up tonight after midnight. Croatia is playing Ghana at 11 PM and I will be watching!
I have to get my lazy self up now and continue working on my weekly bagels. For any of you who are into baking, I would appreciate any tips and tricks for my first chocolate chip cookies. I know I have to chill the dough in the fridge (I will leave it overnight) and that I should make it in some type of cone shape before shoving it into the oven. This is the recipe I am using: Choco Chip Cookies. All help is highly appreciated!
I just rambled a lot in this post.
Love,
Luna
The second part of The Stanhill Series is out and you can get it on Amazon: Beneath The Mask.
If you haven’t moved to Stanhill yet, you can get the first novel on Amazon as well: Little Rebellion
Heat is hard! We’ve got a series of fans and blackout curtains accompanied with our window AC unit to fight back against any impending heat. Thankfully for us, there have been a series of thunderstorms these last few days to keep things cool.
Good luck – hope the cookies turn out great!
LOL over this, “I had no goddamn idea that chocolate chip cookies had that much sugar in them.” Good luck!
