Cause I am cold . Last night I made coconut macaroons..only I was short on coconut, and no almond flavor. I decided to use lemon, sounded good lemon coconut.
Then since there wasn't enough coconut, I decided to try some flour, just a bit. It didn't help. So I went for chocolate chips.
It actually turned out quite good! I had to bake them a bit longer than the recipe called for, but the end result was quite edible. Nothing to write home about, doubt it will be added to holiday favorites, but at least it was good.
I also realized after trying to write down some dinners we commonly eat for a friend who doesn't like to cook...I have a bad habit of just throwing spices at food and hoping it works. Which 75% of the time it is ok, 10% is terrible, and the other 15% rocks! I suppose if I were smart I would learn how to do the 15% more often
I need to bake..

don't really keep bran in the house, it's supposed to be included, scrounge up something else...
happen to be out of sliced almonds (and I decided the salted, roasted ones in the pantry will not taste right)
have been saving that cup of shredded coconut just for this recipe,
and am going to throw in chopped dried mango, papaya and some leftover dates in addition to the raisins it calls for

I use to love to bake when I lived on my own especially those butterfinger cookies, but now that I am at my mom's it just isn't the same
