HAPPY AMERICAN THANKSGIVING & EL'S HONOURABLE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

In honour of my sis Eleanor, I am posting her famous Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.

We were fortunate to taste these MoFos on Thanksgiving. They are absolutely chewy. Sweet but not overwhelming. The ultimate comfort food.

We also had the opportunity to have our photos of the weekend taken by her hubby, our bro, John D at Praxis Photography. The flickr stream of all his amazing photojournalism, wedding, portrait and life photos can be viewed here. Our wedding is there too.

Here are a few photos from the weekend:
