A Cup of Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Don't you just hate it when you try a new chocolate chip cookie recipe and they are too flat or too crisp and you want them to be chewy? Well, I have a recipe that will give you those soft chewy cookies that you are looking for.
Most chocolate chip cookie recipes that I have seen use all butter.

Dollar Chair Make Over
Sometimes you find a piece of furniture that's a great price but you don't really need it. Then sometimes you find a piece of furniture that's a great price and you do NEED it. That's what happened to me.
Our other house north of Orlando, came with a dining room set. Nothing fancy but since I did 't want to buy a new one, we would make it work for now. Only problem was that it only had four chairs.
I wanted to find two chairs that would work with the set. They are rather simple, dark wood with black leather covered seats. Shouldn't be too hard to find something that works right?

Delicate Purple Flowers
For the first time since I moved here, one of my tropical plants, which I think might be a Ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa "Sherbert"), is blooming. It has these delicate purple flowers with white stamens with yellow tips. I was so excited to see it bloom and with such lovely flowers.
