When I started dating Rhitt I remember I had bought a faux-leather motorcycle jacket (that I still wear today). I loved it and couldn't wait to show it off. I think it was our third or fourth date that I wore it. I remember his roomate and him jockingly made comments like, "butch" & "tough girl" (and my personal favorite) "where's your harley?" etc. Needless to say, I didn't wear the jacket anymore...that was until we got married....now I wear it everywhere. :) Its funny how liberating the two words, "I do" really are..haha. But lately, for instance I have been lovin' this feather trend. Can't get enought of it! I love it so much I want to get some feather extentsions like the girl pictured below:
Artistic right? But there's a little voice inside of me thats just a tincy wincy bit afraid of the teasing I might have to put up with... as a consequence. I'm afraid he might start calling me names like:
or...
...or even worse....
...and I'm pretty sure nobody wants to get confused with Steven Tyler....
But...if marriage has taught me one thing, its this...that I'm not afraid to own it and I can dish it right back:)...I can't wait to see the look on the spouses face :)
Until then, here's a cookie recipe that I have been excited to share. These are are all time favorite cookies...and by far the best oatmeal raisen recipe I've tried. Enjoy! They are tasty-tasty!
Oatmeal Choco-chip Raisen Cookies
3/4 C butter @ Room Temp
3/4 C white sugar
3/4 C light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 3/4 C quick oats
3/4 C raisens*
1/4 C choc chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together flour, soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in oats and raisens* Disclaimer about raisens: I learned a trick that when cooking with raisens its best to soak them in water for about 20 minutes before you bake with them. Then dry them on a paper towel. This makes the raisens plump and more moist later. Also. If you don't want chocolate chips in this recipe, omit the 1/4 cup and just use 1 C of raisens Or if you like chocolate chips, adjust accordingly.
The dough should be a sticky consistancy. Take by rounded tablespoon and drop on ungreased cookie sheet. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow cookie to harden on cookie sheet when you take them out...Enjoy!
