I Just Ate Too Many Cookies
I do a really good job of aimlessly cruising around the Internet and eating cookies at the same time. I guess that is what happens after a busy day of work. Of course the cookies are homemade, I am selective and wouldn't waste a stomachache on anything but homemade chocolate chip. While I am on the topic of cookies I don't know what people did for recipes before the Internet. I do have a million cookbooks (and I know that is what people used pre-Internet). But the luxury of googling recipes that you've lost or had at a party is wonderful and I can't get enough of food blogs and their beautiful pictures that make me want to try everything I see. I guess technology has changed my relationship with the kitchen! Aside from food, technology is constantly changing my life. I feel I am constantly asking what we did before the Internet...even though I grew up without it. It makes me realize that I adapt so quickly to changing technology that I forget what life was like without it...it's a little scary or a lot scary at times! Even with my phone, for the past year I've had a smart phone and I can't imagine what I did before having the Internet on my phone. When I was out of the country recently it was really hard not to use the Internet on my phone (otherwise I would be charged millions of dollars for using it). I was going through withdrawal from checking emails and looking up restaurants. I adapted and could function...but there were so many moments that I wanted to pull my phone out and use it. Luckily all our hotels had wi-fi and I had my laptop with me.

Too many cookies?! Really? I thought you meant that you went down the time-vortex of internet surfing....but you really meant cookies. Food, yummy! This past week, I went to Citifield (where the Mets play) and had the most delcious chocolate chip cookie - slabs of chocolate, not chips --- yummmy. I wish I took a pic for you
ReplyDeleteUnrelated to your post, I LOVE catalog living. My other fave is Unhappy Hipsters.
ReplyDeleteYAY for homemade cookies and the internet. I found the best recipe ever online (No Fail Chocolate Chip Cookies) several years ago and that's been my go-to recipe ever since! The internet rocks for recipes. I subscribe to a good number of cooking blogs (you MUST check out that Pioneer Woman linked in Week 1. It's the best!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes to technology while traveling. I have an iphone and when my husband and I went to Key West over Christmas with our new phones, we both felt they really changed how we traveled. We could look up 'pizza' and it would use our current location and we would just walk and see. It was so helpful on a million other things too.
