raisin, cornflakes and oatmeal cookies
Monday, September 13th, 2010
It has been more than a month, a lot of stories, but I am still not ready to share. For now, I’ll tell you about these cookies, and summer. This year we have quite a short summer here, the rainy season seems to start again. Two weeks ago it was raining outside and I really want to have some cookies, our fridge was almost empty except for: half stick of butter, a half eaten bag of cornflakes, a handful of raisins, and a bit of oat and some eggs… you know, those lazy lazy days when you just don’t want to go for food shopping.
Anyway, I made the cookies, and it was yum :) and when I was baking I was kind of missing the summer in Milan. It is abit magical for me, because the city is almost empty every August, everybody goes to the sea. I prefer to stay and do my holiday in September when everybody is back in the city and the beach is much quieter. During August, most people who are left in Milan usually go to parco sempione where they install a temporary amusement park every summer:

…beautiful. I must remember to bring here my polaroid next time I go to Milan. Btw, back to cookies, I was too lazy to measure everything, so I just used tablespoon and hand, and juts kind of throwing everything and mixed them

Then, when the cookies was ready, there was a bit of sun. So I sat in my terrace, enjoying a little of some last piece of summer, with warm cookies and sipping a little glass of macchiato caldo:

Beautiful people, wherever you are, I hope you still have a little last piece of summer. Hugs!
