Cookies

Living by my self without Wini to make some of the finer things in life has been a journey.  What do I eat? How do I make it?  Can I buy it?  Can I find the ingredients for that?
I used the Volunteer cookbook and decided to have some chocolate chip cookies.  Okay how do you say baking powder in Darija (Moroccan Arabic)?  Where do I find brown sugar?
I decided to do my best and looked for chocolate.  I could only find chocolate bars so I bought two of those to be chopped up in place of the semi sweet drops used in the states.  Chopped up some nuts and started mixing the sugars and butters in a saucepan because I did not have a bowl.  I had to use honey (real honey that I got from a bee owner where I bought my heater, everyone has a side endeavor around here).
All the ingredients would not fit in my pans so it was off to the hanut to buy a bowl.

Back from the hanut (store) I continued to mix.  Everything came off well considering my limited ability to measure with what i have and the toaster oven.

Everything came out well for my first baking endeavor.  I plan to pass out cookies to some of the people who have been helping me.  hope they like them.  I Do.  Delicious.  Wini would be proud of my result, I think.

Now I am ready to try cooking a chicken and vegetables in the pressure cooker.  I bought the chicken t the chicken hanut.  The chickens run around in the back room and you can grab or pick the one you want.  They kill it, clean it and bag it in front of you.  Don't watch if you are squeamish.  You can not get any fresher chicken than that.
