Chocolate Chip Cookies
I'm so proud of myself. I successfully made chocolate chip cookies here in Spain! I'm thankful that it's socially acceptable to eat cookies (and cake, and pie - I love this country!) for breakfast because these go very well with coffee.
This is the first time since leaving North America four years ago that I've made cookies. I'm so stupidly happy!

Impressive! I had one too many baking in a foreign language mishaps to understand why this is a cause for celebration.
I am fully enjoying being able to tell the difference between flavored salts, baking powder/soda and the availabilty of ingredients. DH says I'm a much better baker in English.
My Israel Blog!
I have to look specific ingredients up on word reference before going to the supermarket. I'm just proud because it seems like I got the sugar right - no American style brown sugar available here! Also, it's the first time I've ever weighed ingredients.
Now, if I can just figure out how to bake today's turkey. I don't know how much it weighed pre-filling and I don't know how long to roast it for!
This thread makes me hungry! Your cookies sound good, and so does the croissant someone talked about.
I guess I need to get up pretty soon so I can go to IHOP! (Sitting in bed with laptop - FH is still asleep)
My food blog
What I'm looking forward to in 2012:
Eating our way through (northern) Italy on vacation

Well now I want a cookie lol. I was born and raised in Georgia and am moving to England. I can tell you right now that I am going to have to make myself tons of Sweet Tea! I was even considering bringing a sweet tea maker with me : )
Fortunately I'm moving to an English speaking country so I don't have to worry about not being able to read my ingredients. The thing that will mess me up will probably be the actual cooking of the food. I saw a recipe that said "Cook on gas mark x" and was like "Whats gas mark?" XD

I found some at the Deli Shop here in Barcelona. Also there is a Taste of America store here, I haven't been there though (you can order on-line).
I was in London last month so I bought 3 (there only 500g each) bags that should last me awhile.
