What is your favorite cookie? Do you have the recipe? I need to try baking some wonderful cookies. Any direction you could give me to a fabulous cookie recipe would be most appreciated. I might even send you some — you never know. :)

This is a rambling post. You have been warned. My baby is communicating so well. He has lots of words and he uses them at the appropriate time. Perhaps his most original (sort of) word is “nur-nur”. What does it mean? Well, I’ll give you a hint. When he says it, he starts messing around with my shirt. Ah ha. Yes. He is still nursing….so he will tell me now, when he thinks that the time is right. It is hilarious. He was saying it in his crib last night. It was 2 a.m., and I could barely see his little head above the end of the crib as he looked at me where I was sleeping. “Nur-nur, NUR-NUR!” So, of course, I got up and fed him. That child has slept through the night (over 7 hours straight) about 2-3 times in his life. IN HIS LIFE. So if you see me and I seem a little crazy, well, you know why. I was so tired this morning that I couldn’t put my contacts in right. It took me five minutes to understand that the reason that I couldn’t get them in there correctly was that I was putting them both in one eye over and over again. I knew that it felt funny. Okay, that is the bulletin from the sleep-deprived, crazy mother of 4. Y’all have a good day.

I’m making this cake today for Jon’s birthday. Hope that it turns out well. One good thing about it is that our oldest son can eat it with us since it contains no wheat. I’m betting that the 5 year old won’t touch it. This, of course, means that he is crazy. Have a good Friday, y’all. And stop in barlowfarms and wish Jon a happy one if you are so inclined. Flourless Chocolate Cake Cake: 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 8 ounces semisweet chocolate 5 large eggs, room temp, seperated 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt Icing: 8 ounces semisweet chocolate 1/2 cup cream Topping: raspberries whipped cream 6-8 servings 1 hour 4 minutes (24 mins prep) Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9″ springform pan with 1 Tbls. of butter, dust with cocoa. In metal bowl over double boiler, melt remaining butter and chocolate, remove from heat. Use mixer to beat yolks together with sugar and vanilla. Beat whites and salt together until stiff. Fold chocolate mixture into yolk mixture a little at a time. Fold in egg whites. Pour into springform pan. Bake 40 minutes until spongy. Remove from oven, remove springform, cool completely. When cake is cool, prepare icing. Mix together chocolate and cream over double boiler until smooth. Spread over cake. Top with raspberries and whipped cream.
