so if you couldn't tell, I made chocolate chip cookies last night. I didn't actually make them for myself. I made them for Nabil. Nabil is a good friend of ours who owns the hotel we stay at in Dakar. He's a big sweetie and is always doing stuff for us. I ply him with food... he likes my chocolate chip cookies.
Since we're going down to Dakar tomorrow and wait for our trip to the states on Tuesday night (or as it turns out Wednesday morning at 4:15 in the AM). So I made these cookies last night. I almost forgot actually but Brook was craving a dessert so I made him his piggy clafoutis and realized I promised Nabil cookies. So I made those and baked them and then every batch that came out of the oven I had to eat a few cookies to make sure the batch was okay. Then by the time the final batch went in the oven I felt pretty ill. Brook was on his second round of clafoutis, so it's not like I could say anything to him about being a piglet.
Before bed I felt okay again and then stuffed several more cookies in my mouth. and washed them down with milk. It was like I was afraid they were going to go somewhere before breakfast this morning. Then when I went upstairs (I actually had originally gone downstairs before bed to put up the cookies and soak the dried blueberries before this morning so I could make some blueberry muffins). Brook didn't ask what took so long but what took so long was that I was still feeding on the chocolate chip cookies. I hope Nabil will get some before I gobble the whole batch down.
Anyway, so I come back upstairs as I was starting to say and saw in the mirror that I had a bit of chocolate left on the side of my lip, and it looked just like those vampires (you know like "Love at First Bite") who have just finished feeding and have a bit of blood left. I know, not really a Christmas image here. I just thought I looked like a chocolate vampire.
This morning I had more cookies for breakfast and then made a real breakfast for Brook and some blueberry muffins. Talk about getting ready for Christmas....
Now we're packing for our trip to Dakar tomorrow. We've been invited to a PCV's new house. This married couple has invited us over to check out their new digs. Very sweet of them. I bought them this really ugly dolphin circus glass figurine as a housewarming gift (joke gift) and then a real gift of a nice set of glasses. So we'll head over there at 3pm.
Maybe before then I should have some cookies beforehand for lunch.
