[Recipe] Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies: Redux.

I've been tinkering with a mint chocolate chip cookie recipe for a while now -- started back this spring, when I was putting together a bunch of different baked goods for the Adam Ezra Group hunger fundraiser. Recently I tried another variation on it, once again adapted from the classic Tollhouse recipe, and it turned out well enough that I thought I'd post it here.

Overall, I was favorably impressed with the way these turned out. Minty enough to tantalize but not to overwhelm, soft and chewy but not cake-like, and with sufficient chocolate to satisfy your average chocoholic, these are fantastic with milk. Enjoy!

[Recipe] Sweet & Spicy Macaroni Salad

A week or so back, work brought a selection of sandwiches and side dishes for lunch -- including a very tasty macaroni salad. Naturally, this led me to go in search of macaroni salad recipes. I made this one this afternoon, taking ideas and ingredients from a handful of recipes online, and overall I'm quite happy with it.

Easy to make, prepares tons of servings, and extra tasty -- just the thing if you're looking to feed a lot of people for a 4th of July party. Enjoy!
