Andy had today off of school because many of the schools are used for elections. Today was election day for some local elections. My polling location is La Salette Shrine. It used to be the Elks Lodge but things got moved for some reason. Either way I took class this morning and then headed there for voting.

After voting I took andy over to Tex Barry’s for hot dogs for lunch.

Andy started out the day by making some dough for cookies that they were making for their friends at Rock Climbing. I had seen a recipe that called for graham crackers for the base with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips but then to be covered by a a pre-made cookie dough. Andy decided that making the dough would be better so first thing this morning they were making the dough.

I had to get some brown sugar and I also picked up some take and bake Reese’s pieces cookies. I’ll make my own cookies soon. I did give some cookies to the Sensei’s at ABD because today they asked how Andy was doing. I told them about how Andy had the day off and was making cookies. They really enjoyed me bringing them some when I went back for Eva’s class in the afternoon.

Andy decided to bake chocolate chip cookies today. Andy promised the climbing class that this week they would bring cookies for everyone. Rather than follow the tried and true tollhouse cookie recipe Andy did their own thing. Instead of chocolate chip cookies Andy used a bar of baking chocolate. Unsweetened. They ended up being a bit overdone on the bottoms but I did try one later on and it wasn’t half bad. I know that Andy likes to experiment with food but sometimes following a recipe is most helpful.
