Craving Cookies
This is a distinctive cookie and the result is quite enjoyable. The texture is more like that of a blondie, just in a cookie shape. I followed the recipe and instructions exactly and enjoyed the final product. This recipe is deceiving in that it seems simply (due to the few ingredients), but is actually hard to do correctly, because the dough is very dry. If the chef over mixes, the glutens will become tough and ruin the cookie.

Paella I
I found this took almost twice as long to cook as suggested in the recipe. I used clams rather than mussels, so that probably added 5-10 minutes, but even the shrimp didn't cook so quickly, just being covered -- I had to mix them in.
Also, I used short-grain, white rice, rather than arborio. To get it starchy, I soaked it before using it -- this draws out the starch. It worked well.

Cheese and Bacon Potato Rounds
Fantastic, simple recipe -- it achieves great results all on its own. I did as someone else recommended and dipped the potatoes in butter rather than brush them. Also I thoroughly spiced with salt and pepper. After flipping once sprinkled with paprika. Yum! Everyone at the party loved it.
