What to do on a cold and cloudy Sunday?
This morning we threw open the windows, pumped good psychedelic rock through our speakers and gave our little apartment a deep, hard clean.
It's such a good feeling to put your feet up at the end of a good soul-cleansing purge of dirt and dust bunnies!
Later at the hair salon I ended up cutting bangs on a whim.
Damn me and my whims, I always think bangs are a good idea at the time but I'm the worst at maintaining them and they inevitably end up being bobby-pinned to the side of my head.
This evening I blew the dust off my baking trays and made these sea salt chocolate chip cookies from Ambitious Kitchen.
Holy. Mama.
I want to track down whoever thought of pairing chocolate with sea salt and kiss them on the mouth and that's all I'm gonna say about that!
I kind of got into my kitchen groove after that and decided to pull out the ginger and spice and everything nice and boil up a pot of spicy Indian Chai.
Right now the apartment is steeped in the rich smells of sweet and salty brown butter cookie dough and boiling cardamom.
Blissed.
I hope everyone had a warm, weird and wonderful weekend ^^
I love reading your blog! What a cool design! Did you design your bog yourself?

That's so nice Niki, thanks! I sketched out the design myself but I had a professional code it for me ~.^
DeleteWhat a lovely post. Your bangs are super cute, girl! I know the feeling though - I think we've all been there. I forget who it was, but I once retweeted someone on Twitter who said, "It's crazy to me that the most important decision a girl can make is whether or not to have bangs." Haha so true!
ReplyDeleteChai tea is my all time favorite thing, and I can just imagine how amazing your house must have smelled!
Thank you Amanda! I had a mixed range of reactions from my class of 6 year old's from "not pretty" to "weird", haha! I guess they don't like the change ^^
DeleteI think your Sunday sounds like the most perfect Sunday! It's a chilly summer day here and I think a spot of cookie baking might be in order! Yum! xx
ReplyDeleteCookie baking can turn a Sunday to a Funday in the ping of an oven timer >.<
Delete!!! This is a fantastic blog post. I totally agree with a good deep clean!!! And chocolate with sea salt, yesssssss. It's so delish!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Monday, I hope it's as fantabulous as your Sunday was!
Thanks Angie~ chocolate & sea salt go together like peas and carrots, navy and mustard, winter and a sweater...I could go on!!
DeleteThanks for visiting xx
I am so jealous of your Sunday! And I love "the sunday slowdown" title. It's just what sundays are for. I may need to try that salted chocolate chip cookie recipe soon... sounds amazing...
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the bangs! I've been debating about getting them myself once my hair grows a little more, but I'm not sure that I could pull it off since my hair has some curl to it. They look so great on you though!

You absolutely should try it Jess~ it's dead easy and the leftover cookie dough keeps for days in the fridge, perfect for dipping sugar hungry fingers into ^.~
DeleteI cannot even imagine how good your apartment smelled! Which is not to say that your words didn't describe it well - they did! It just sounds too divine for me to even comprehend!
ReplyDeleteLove the bangs, lady, even if they do get the bobby-pin treatment before long :)
mmmm must be such a great smell! no candles needed, everything natural :-)
