Paris!

Since, as it turns out, I'm possibly going back to Paris in January, I posted some pictures from my last trip there in 2007. You can see them here. The last time I was in Paris was June of 2007. It will be interesting to see how different the city is in the middle of winter!

Another highlight of the trip is that I will get to see my friend who lives near Coulanges. We've been pen-pals for over 4 years, and we actually met each other on my last trip to Paris. Since it's highly unlikely that she will visit the States any time soon, it's really exciting for both of us that we can meet up in January!

Awesome Peanut Butter cookies!

2 c. creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 c. white sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. flour
1/2 bag white chocolate chips

Cream together first 3 ingredients. Mix in eggs, one at a time, then add next 3 ingredients and mix until completely blended. Fold in white chocolate chips. Roll into 1-inch balls, then roll in extra granulated sugar. Flatten into circles, making sure not to crack the dough. Bake 10-13 min. on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees. Let cool on baking sheet 5-7 min. before moving to cooling rack.
