New Skills and Stuff

a deconstructed cookie does not taste nearly as good as a baked cookie, but the picture is still pretty cool.

eleftheria tends to bake according to my work schedule, which usually means the cookies are baking pretty late.  one of her creations, down and right, were some delicious oatmeal apple cinnamon cookies.  

Some of her other recipes include a black velvet cookie with cream cheese frosting, and a lemon cookie with almond glaze.

                                   

our newest toy makes two cappuccinos.  it works just like an italian espresso machine, but with an extra part that froths your milk for you (insert comment about frothing your milk here).  The results have been pretty good and are getting better.

eleftheria even went and found us some cappuccino mugs.

thought i would post a picture of my new helmet while it is still clean and fresh.  The problem with helmets is that each time you buy one, you want it to be a little better than the last.  it is getting a bit expensive, but its light, has a built in retractable sun visor, and a better fit than my old one. . . not to mention it has not been run over by a car.
