Flash flood of guests last night after dinner: new roommate moved in, his girlfriend stayed the night, Aurora, our other roommate and four guests beside. Had to whip up cookies in a flash. Applesauce molasses etc. cookies minus walnuts (a concession to a friend with an allergy) plus a teaspoon of cinnamon (a step in the direction of the cayenne chocolate chocolate cookie I am thinking about making). Just the right amount of chocolate and a subtle spicyness made one friend exclaim he would invest in developing my cookie “business” — I wonder if all the talk and thinking of selling cookies gets in the way of fully enjoying them just for themselves?
