Cookies and Other Miscellaneous Items to Mention

I just thought I share a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I found on the internets, one that I memorized and tweaked just a little bit. Here it goes:

Cream together:
1/2 cup soft and unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Add:
1 egg
Add:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour
Add:
1 1/4 cup of white and semisweet chocolate chips

Bake on a greased cookie sheet for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Et voila:

I should say these are gut-wrenchingly sweet in my opinion, so if you are like me, you might want to reduce the sugar content a little bit. Actually, I did, and they were still very sweet, so definitely add less sugar maybe?

As for other fun things that I can talk about. Well, there was the teddy bear toss at the Ottawa 67's and Owen Sound Attack game just a week ago. On the way to the game we picked up this lovely teddy and panda puppet. Sadly, the Owen Sound Attack lost the game with just one goal against (the empty net does not count IMO) with only 7 minutes left in the game. But at least we can celebrate that there were many many many teddies tossed that will find their way to a child's arms somewhere in the city. Right!?

And, I never mentioned anything about the Senators - Blue Jackets game that I went to! It was a happy belated birthday present from my brother. It was a completely sold out game, so with lots of people the atmosphere was great! Even though I have been in Ottawa for more than a year, this was only the second game I attended. I know, right?! I think finding a job, generating some income should rectify that situation. If I am still in Ottawa by then ... Anyways, some shots:
