Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are hands down the GREATEST chocolate chip cookies that will ever reach your mouth. Ever.

½ cup butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ tablespoon vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
¼ cup quick oats
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Cream butter and both sugars.
Mix all dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda and salt) in a separate bowl.
Add egg to creamed ingredients. Add vanilla. Mix well.
Add dry ingredients a little at a time until it's all well incorprated. (Mixture should be really thick and not real sticky. If too sticky, add extra flour 1 T. at a time until dry enough that you can pick up the dough and roll it without it sticking to your hands.).
Mix in chocolate chips.
Roll dough into balls and bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes. Take them out just as they are barely beginning to brown. Do NOT over-bake. I can't emphasize this enough.

Make these. Trust me, you definitely will NOT regret it.

Eggs and potatoes

I made what's called an Idaho Sunrise. So good. Super easy too, for when you want to mix it up a bit. Basically you bake a potato, then, carve a hole in it and put egg, cheese, and bacon (I put vegi-bacon. I'm always trying to get the boyfriend to try vegetarian options. He even liked it :) You can definitely use real bacon though). Bake until the egg is done. Ta-da!

My ambulance ride along was pretty great. I liked it a lot. The only down side? When you're waiting for another call in the FREEZING ambulance at 3 in the morning. I met a lot of people. Loved the paramedics I rode with. The very first patient we had was a woman who had a stoma. If you don't know what that is, it's an open hole that is permanent. Often there is a tube that goes in it to keep from closing. Anyway, that was a sight to see.

We also had a call to an epileptic. She had seized quite a few times before she had called and even seized while in the ambulance. Talk about fast moving. It was so intense.
Other than that, I've been focusing on school and being boring. Wah-wah

Puppy Chow

I haven't had this in sometime, but I do have fond memories of it.  So good.  And SO easy to make.  Try it, you won't regret it.
