They were delicious! I followed a recipe almost exactly and it was very easy. Yum!

1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 c. honey
1 egg, beaten
2 c. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped walnuts

Sift flour, salt and baking soda together. Cream the butter, vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts, beating well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree preheated oven for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Crooks and shady doings in GA through the internet.

Ok, so I am in the co-op, on Thursday and I see a flyer calling vegetarians to hang out together. There is a web address, I grab one of the tear off tabs and put it in my pocket. In attempt to look for a piece of paper I had misplaced, I picked up all the surfaces in my room and dug through all my pockets. I happened upon the little tear off I had pocketed and decided to look it up. See if there were some potlucks or something. I think a potluck followed by a dance party is my favorite kind of party. So I get to the website http://www.vegetarianmeetup.com/508 and lo and behold, the only thing there are links to businesses. What a bunch of BS! Has the poor economy and lack of jobs degraded people so low that they are trying to trick people on the internet for money? Apparently. A new phenomenom I am experiencing here is craigslist crookery. People email you if you put a post up offering some type of service and people write you faking to need said service. So weird. Why would people do this? They are getting paid! I was looking for a free lance writing job and found out how these fakies were getting these gigs. Another word of warning though, do not get wood off craigslist if they say they are going to deliver it. They will unload it themselves and you won't be able to feel that it is green. It happened! To me! This is the email I wrote them.

Very sneaky to unload the wood yourselves so I couldn't feel the weight. You cannot advertise "firewood" and bring green wood cuz you can't burn that shit. I am going to post an ad about the quality of the product you are offering unless you bring us some more seasoned wood. I know times are tough right now but y'all don't need to be dishonest.

Feel free to write them hate mail. Just kidding. We gotta love everybody! It is ok, the wood will be ready to burn next year. Spring is right around the corner! It was so warm and sunny today! Zeva went for a swim! Until next time...
