Paleo Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

The second date with my darling, that is, the third day I met him, the fascinating story of how that day unfolded included some paleo almond flour cookies as an important point. Some checkpoint people wanted to take them away from me, but that didn't happen  :-) 

I left some cookies with the darling when I went home, but I was a little embarrassed because they were not very sweet and wouldn't do much for the taste buds of an average person. Later I found out he likes paleo too! 

They were like these, but these are better. 

Just sharing. This recipe is really simple and turns out great every time.

Gudrun's Fashions

Gudrun style

This is the kind of thing I've been favoring lately, as we head for a really cold new home! 

I've enjoyed looking into the idea of layers and how they did things in the middle ages, or almost up to the present time, with a couple of linen underlayers for warmth and cleanliness, then the pretty layer, then a sturdy apron or warm jumper over that. 

On my last visit to my cold new home I already looked like this, "You look like a pioneer woman!" as someone told me, just because the ruffled edge of my flannel nightgown showed under the denim jumper. 

I became a little self-conscious, but it's that or freeze. So I'll take layers. This website's style encourages me. Call it artsy! 








This one the very most of all, here I am!

Random Inspiration: DeAnna Price at hammer throwing trials

Without Facebook I'm just going to have to post a lot more here! 

So this is today's entertainment. I don't follow any kind of sports, but looked up Deanna Price out of curiosity after noticing a photo of her in an article about someone in the same sport who is NOT a good role model. Never mind that. 

I was mostly curious what the sport looked like, then I found this adorable tank of a woman! She is so very STRONG, but somehow also dainty, and her determination, cheerfulness and passion shine through along with her warrior yell. It's a cool video. Have a look.
