Good Evening!
The apartment smells like cookies!

*My roommate, Jim, is turning 30 tomorrow, and he's having a party - well two parties actually - both of which I will have to miss due to some work commitments and my travel arrangements. So, since I had been thinking of making some cookies this week already, and since it is his birthday, and since I won't be able to be there, and
since I didn't really feel like packing my luggage yet, I decided to make a batch of his favorite cookies - the oatmeal-chocolate-chip-pecans ones.
*And I have to say, the generally warmer temps did affect the "outcome". They still look fine - and taste fine - but they don't look exactly like they usually do.
