不要停止保护我

today's a day off for us, so i'm at home on a friday, after reaching home at unearthly twelve midnight last night.

the past week was quite slack, and the only thing worth remembering is the rambutan-plucking yesterday. it was so fun to watch them climb trees and try so hard to shake them until the rambutans fell. in the end, no rambutans fell, only the entire branch. effectively, there were rambutans to eat.

anyway, after this weekend, i think i'm going to be baking less. just for the birthdays and the occasional outings. (this love has taken it's toll on me/my wallet.)

so: ultimate oatmeal cookies from betty crocker cookie book. not made from betty crocker premixes, but from scratch, thank you. i made a big batch of these to try to clear stock of instant oatmeal lying around the kitchen.
cute, aren't they? haha i used nigella's method of brick-laying to portion out the cookie dough, which gave me very round and equal-sized cookies in the end. next step is to buy a smaller ice cream scoop.
