Day 5: Snickerdoodles

Today we went to the lady's house that I mentioned yesterday. It actually wasn't bad at all, she's a very nice lady, she just happens to care about the safety of cats. Matt asked how many "little friends" she has and she said she has 1 outside then 2 inside. And she's been living there for about 25 years! So has the guy from day 3. And the lady we're going to tomorrow has been there for 40 years! Crazy. She said they all kind of look out for eachother. Probably since they've been there so long and there's no chiropractic students coming in and out of their little nook. So i'm thinking we're probably going to end up going through everyone on our street. That's fine though. Today's cookie fits well with today's entry; good but not amazing. I mean it's a good snickerdoodle and all, but chocolate has my heart.

Snickerdoodles
1/2 butter, softened

1 egg
