Homeward Bound...

So I've been in Cincinnati for the past four days, and it has been WONDERFUL! I am looking pretty forward to moving here (since it's GOING to happen... I'm sure of it.)
While I've been here, I have been taken to some wonderful places. Places that I am sure that I am not going to be able to live without. Like a grocery store called "Jungle Jim's." This may have been the highlight of the trip. My friend and I decided to go on an "adventure in organic baking" to quote said friend, and she was really excited to take me to this store to get the ingredients we needed. As soon as I saw the outside, I knew why. It looks like a giant playground for foodies. Inside, every ingredient that has probably EVER been made, all conveniently arranged by nationality (I wanted to build a tent in the Italy section and live there... It was THAT GOOD.) The only problem? Prices. Which really bugs me. Why does it have to be more expensive to make good food with quality ingredients than to swing through McDonald's and get a heart attack on a bun? What kind of world do we live in??? I shouldn't have to make six figures a year in order to be able to buy good, fresh food.

I digress. The point of this is, if you ever find yourself in or near Fairfield, Ohio... Go. There. Now.

Other than that, I will share the recipe for the delicious cookies we wound up baking... You can find it here

Enjoy!!
