Have you guys met Tequila?

I don't believe I've introduced my dog, Tequila, to the blog world yet. And I don't know why I haven't yet, because I've mentioned her in a few posts too. Oops.

Anyway, Here is a picture of the lovely Tequila, looking quite a bit sad actually.

It may not do much justice, but it's the only one I could find of her uploaded already.

I can honestly say that she is (dare I say it??!??!) the best dog I have ever had. Yes, even over zoe and chloe. She beats them, put together, despite how cute they are. [shown below] They just aren't as sweet and loyal as Tequila .


Bao and I adopted Tequila almost 6 months ago from the SPCA. When we took her home, she was a little bit depressed from shelter life, but she got used to us and warmed up to us quickly. Ever since then she's been the sweetest, most awesome dog! :)


Today I bought Tiff's treats for Mike and the cookies were SOOOO good. They were warm and soft in the middle, and perfectly crispy on the outer edges. Sooo Good. I wish I had their recipes. I ate wayyy too many coookies.. now I gotta go work it allll off.

Cookie monster me am. COOKIE??!

I love eating cookies of all sorts but lately I've been wanting to bake them from scratch too. Nothing is better than biting into a scrumptious cookie that you made yourself from scratch! It just tastes that much better because you know you made it yourself.

A few days ago I tried baking cookies at Bao's following Alton Brown's damn recipe on food network.com and guess what? They were a disaster!! They were nasty and you could taste the sugar granules when you bit into them! The only part of the recipe I didn't follow was using a stand mixer. I used a hand electric mixer instead. I wonder if that really makes the difference. I wouldn't think so..

Anyway today I feel like baking cookies again. But I'm going to go with a recipe from allrecipes.com for Snickerdoodles (everyone loves those, right??) that actually has user reviews, so I know that I'll have somewhat a higher chance of getting these right.

By the way, for those of you that don't know me well, I suck at cooking. I never cook. I never bake things from scratch. My knowledge of making food is extremely limited because nobody taught me how to cook/bake/make food when I was younger. So this is all new to me. Wish me luck!
