Some copycat stuff

In a few minutes, I'm off to Dalarna (Dalecarlia!), a gorgeous part of Sweden that I've blogged about several times before. Me and my mom are planning to spend the week golfing, sleeping, reading and eating. We'll see about the golf - it's raining like crazy right now, for the first time in weeks. Oh well!



Anyway. I should tell you about some of the things I've tried from other bloggers lately, so you can go explore some of their excellent food! First out, my very first attempt at cooking Indian. It went very well, thanks to Deb at In My Kitchen.



Then, try a grape-avocado salsa from Kate at Accidental Hedonist. Perfect for summer - I loved it with a grilled hamburger.



For something sweet, how about some cookies? I finally got around to making Clivia's Cousins - great little icebox cookies that you can prepare in advance and just bake off.



And finally, a deeper, darker cookie, with chocolate - Brownie Points posted about these chocolate merengue cookies, and I couldn't resist it. (Nor should I have - they were great.)
