The Beginning of Baking and Blogging

Ever since I've turned 29 I felt the urge to do things that I've never done before (mid-life crisis... man I hope not, maybe third-life crisis... yeah that sounds much better). Anyway, I started a list of 30 things I wanted to do before I'm 30, well as of right now I've only been able to come up with 12 things. While I still plan on doing the things on that list, I decided on a new "list" that I feel is a much better idea. The idea is I am going to bake a different batch of cookies each week and send them to some of my favorite people, couples, and families. This way I get to: improve my baking skills- which let's be honest need some serious help, show the people I love how much they mean to me, and blog about something (let's face it, this is the most exciting thing I've got going in my life right now haha). In this blog, I will post the recipe of the cookies I baked for the week and about the "lucky" (or unlucky depending on how the cookies turn out) person/couple/family who received them. So far I have picked out my recipients- which was an extremely difficult task and hopefully no one will feel left out. Once I decided on the people, I put the names into a random generator so that the order of the recipients would be unbiased (and yes I am aware of how dorky that is!!!). The next step is to start finding some recipes. And then the baking, blogging, and delivering will begin in September and continue through June 2012. So anyway, here goes nothing....
