Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I almost always think there is too much sugar in a recipe. When I read this recipe and I saw it called for a cup of sugar, I thought that was too much. Then I kept reading and saw it actually calls for two cups of sugar. I almost couldn't believe it. I searched the comments because I was sure it was a typo and people would have pointed it out. There was nothing in the comments. I decided to make the cookies with one cup of brown sugar and that was plenty. Plenty, plenty, plenty. These are very good and I can't imagine how sweet they would be with another cup of sugar. It would be completely unnecessary. There is a lot of butter and the cookies are pretty flimsy, but they are disappearing quickly. Here's the recipe.

Corn soup

This soup is delicious. Make the recipe before the corn is all gone. I skipped the topping, and I made my own corn broth. This is inspired by the corn soup I had at Delfina, and I would dare to say it is just as good. I meant to buy fresh basil to put on top and I do think that would be very good.

Rice stuffed tomatoes

I liked this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. I added a huge serving of feta to my portion. I thought they were delicious. Two and a half hours later I was starving.
