Sonic isn't as cool as I want it to be... and chocolate chip cookies don't even sound good.

Okay, went to play video games on this horrible rainy afternoon, won about 800 tickets and felt like a total bad ass as Ryan pulls out our 3000 + ticket card to add the tickets to. Him and Desimone played air hockey and threw the puck at a bystander. Hit them in the crotch. Didn't see it, but I wish I did.

After spending about $32 on tokens, we decided to go home and, what do you know, there is a brand spanking new Sonic that they built in town. I don't know about you, but for the last 2 to 3 years of my life, my commercials always contained reference to a Sonic, and damn, did the food look good.

Well they built one.

And I wish they hadn't.

Honestly, the food was greasy... all of it. And not the good kind of greasy. I felt bad sending our waitress (car hop? non tipped server?) back to get ketchup, ranch, and BBQ, all of which were requested before she came out the first time. Cheese was on things that it wasn't supposed to be on, and good lord, do they really only have bathrooms that are outside?

So the food was ok, but nothing to make a trip about. No 50's music was playing and I didn't see the Fonz, so considering all of that... not worth a repeat trip.

When we got home, the guys got on Halo (well, still on Halo.) and I decided to be all domestic and make some chocolate chip cookies.

Here is the recipe:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
3. Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

The most AMAZING soup

Today is all thunderstorms and air that is just chilly enough to keep the windows shut. The one thing I miss about living on Douglas in the townhouse was the sound that the rain made on the roof... you could keep the windows clear of rain drops and watch the downpour out of the big window in the living room.

And then the basement would flood... ha.

At our new place, our ceilings are so big (14 feet...) that it's impossible to hear the rain, there isn't enough ledge to keep the water off the screen, and the damn screen in porch gets our giant speaker wet.

Today is dedicated to finishing up the homework that was due over spring break, starting my final paper (already!) and figuring out my class schedule at WMU for the fall. (16 credits and 2 extra classes at KVCC, oh my!) I have a feeling that if I wasn't living with Ryan I would not see him at all. And it's nice to come home to him yelling at his xbox. It's charming...

So today is just miserable, can't get into the book for my Women's Studies class, and something needed to be cooked. I thought about cookies (which might show up later) but this soup is the mose AMAZING thing I've made all week.

It smells fantastic when you start making it, the onions, the garlic, the peanut oil just smell delicious. Then you throw in the rest of the stuff, take off the heat, blend, and stir in the spices and corn.

It's nice because it starts off mild and sweet and just hits you with just a little spice at the end from the jalapeno, and bam, perfect little bright spot.

I made cornbread for it too... come over and eat this with me.

Sweet Potato, Corn and Jalapeño Bisque
Serves 2 if that's all there is for dinner, or 4 as a first course

1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds total), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Scant pinch ground cinnamon
Finely chopped scallions, green parts only, or minced parsley

1. In a large saucepan or soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until just soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and stock and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender or a food processor, purée contents of pot, in batches if necessary, until smooth.

3. Reheat soup, stirring in jalapeño, corn, molasses, salt, cayenne, black pepper and cinnamon. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve, topped with scallions or parsley.

Coincidence? I think not.
