Happy Memorial Day! Yesterday, my fantastic journey into the deepest depths of true Marthahood was interrupted by a little something called “Dysfunctional Family Get Together Day” where I got together with my dysfunctional family and we functioned as badly as ever! It was a party that Martha would never approve of, so we will never speak of it again.
In my defense, I did make Martha’s Blueberry Crisp for the party and it was a dysfunctional family desert success! However, I didn’t have any opportunity to make any new recipes because I was not dropped off by my Uncle Robert until well into the wee hours of the morning…which wasn’t so bad considering that he was so drunk it was a miracle that we made it home alive at all…wait I’m still speaking about the party…please forgive me Martha.
Okay, so today I had just enough mental energy for oatmeal raisin cookies. But very yummy, chewy, and dense oatmeal raisin cookies! As you can see from the picture, I tried to jazz it up a bit by adding an ice cold saucer of milk in the middle (glasses are for chumps! dunk that cookie in a saucer!) and drizzling a bit of honey around the plate with some fresh nutmeg sprinkled in it. It’s fun to take a simple desert and turn it into something a little more fancy. And yes, it’s functional (unlike my family), because you can smear a little of the honey & nutmeg on your cookies before dunking them in the milk making them even more delicious!
