Today, I was again, feeling blah (almost wrote black, thanks Santorum), but also hungry. We didn't do grocery shopping this week, since we were travelling Sunday.

So there is not much in the house, aside from standard stockpiles for 2+ people.

I remembered I had a new box o' butter, some flour, and some maple syrup, so I set out to make maple shortbread. I did some research and the general consensus was 1 sugar, 2 butter, 3 flour, which is close to my original estimation of 1 sugar, 2 butter, 4 flour. The "proper" mix netted me 12 shortbreads.

So I mixed it, I baked it, I waited (not long enough), and ended up with somewhat-successful shortbreads.

They could be a bit more maple-y, and I should have left them in the oven for at least another five minutes. I ate too many and now I'm nauseated. :(

Those sound delightful. I could see myself stuffing my face with maple-flavored treats. Yum.

RE:
Haha! I buy way too many dresses and end up not wearing any of them because I don't look good in them anyway. Money is definitely a problem but whenever I want to buy new clothes whenever I see others wearing nice and pretty ones. I'm a slave of consumerism :(
