"Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?"
__Japanese proverb
"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon bakin' powder

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar

2) Melt the chocolate chips then combine with the brown sugar
and vegetable oil.
3) Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
4) Stir in the vanilla extra.
5) Combine the flour, bakin' powder and salt.
6) Add flour mixture to the chocolate mixture.

but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
