Busy, busy

I have an important exam coming up and Q has been a great pal keeping me company while I study.

A few of you have e-mailed me to check-in. Thanks a bunch! We are alive and well, and hope to return from our study hiatus soon!

Library Date

Q joined my dad and I on a library date. We usually go every three weeks (when books are due), grab a coffee at Starbucks, and run some errands for my mum. Here's Q perusing the cookbook section. We're seriously behind in our monthly baking endeavours. We need to get back into the game!

After selecting a few books and some CDs, Q picked up the latest issue of The New Yorker.

Pho

 Wowzers! So I haven't blogged in three weeks?!? My bad. But alas, the adventures of Q (and me) have returned!!!

Q joined my family and I for pho on Saturday. It was rainy and cold out so the noodles and soup really hit the spot.

We hope everyone had a great weekend!

We miss you!

Oh we miss you so, Quatch Watch fans! But March has been a hectic month; hence, the lack of blogging. We will return soon, promised!!!

Mail from QW Friends

Q and I have made some good friends through Quatch Watch. L, Q, and Qk from Vancouver recently sent us this map from the 2010 Olympics. Quatchi is featured on the map driving a bus, riding a bike, taking pictures, etc. As you can see, he's a very talented sasquatch!

L, Q, and Qk also sent us this fantastic sticker! It's hard to find Olympics swag these days (unless you go on eBay), so we're very happy to receive it! Thanks so much!!!

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies


White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries

In large bowl, using electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and two sugars. Add egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy.

In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. In two additions, beat into butter mixture on low speed until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and cranberries.


Scoop by tablespoons; roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake in preheated 350F oven, 10 to 12 minutes, just until edges start to brown. Let stand for 5 minutes in pan. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. Makes about 36 cookies.
