\nOh yes. I saw these cookies made on Everyday Food on PBS. They were really easy to make (well.. despite the fiasco my dad and I created in the kitchen trying to shred the carrots just right and going through about three appliances – Kitchen Aid mixer attachment wins the day) and they went pretty fast. I actually kept these cookies in the fridge because of the cream cheese frosting. Mmm. You’re supposed to smoosh them together but I preferred to just lay some icing on top of one cookie instead of making a sandwich. That seemed more in line with the cake part, plus, you get more icing for the cookie. Here’s the recipe<\/a> if you’re so inclined to try and make them yourself. I left the currants out of my cookies. Oh and on the web site they have “1\/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted” listed under the frosting part and cookie part – it’s just for the cookies. You don’t need that much for the frosting, just the 2 ounces of butter for the frosting.\n<\/p>\n

\nOn Friday we’re having a potluck at work. I elected to bring lemon bars. I think they will be tasty.\n<\/p>\n

\nAt work I also noticed a few things: there’s a coat rack near the women’s bathroom that currently is holding one shoe on it. And today when I walked by the men’s bathroom, I noticed a mug full of liquid sitting on the floor next to a pole. My thought is that maybe a guy put his drink down outside the bathroom, when to the bathroom, and then forgot about his drink. I don’t really know the story, but I found it curious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
