A Flying Saucer? No... A Frisbee? hmmm..... A Giant Cookie?!?!?!

I made this giant cookie for a friend of mine a while back for a joke they had with someone else. This was THE largest cookie I have ever attempted to make. It was slightly oval but oh well... It was about 16 inches wide and about 1/4 inch thick. Check it out.

Plans for This Track Season

I know this blog is named "Summer" Cookings, but seeing as i didn't do much this summer with cooking I have new plans for it. Since i will not be going out for track this year I have decided I will use the time I have after school to run/bike some and try new recipes also. I have decided though, that because i have been gaining weight slowly over the time I haven't been running I will only be allowed to cook on days I run or bike. I can run or bike but not cook, but I won't be cooking and not running or biking. I plan to lose a smidge of my fluff weight, although not necessarily, while also keeping my cooking skills up to date. Also, if I need to have exercise of some sort everyday so I can have something to keep me persistent to keep going. Having myself do some exercise of some sort will also help me to not procrastinate and help me to stay away from the computer more easily. I have just recently decided to do this and I had baked some oatmeal raisin cookies a couple of days ago, and due to the fact of still being in basketball I did not however run on that day(It was also late and kinda cold out at the time)... I did bike quite a bit and then quit on account of the wind causing my ears to hurt and being tired. The pain in my ears was the main reason I stopped. My legs could have taken more. After about a 30 minute to half hour break I went out an ran for a while. I found out just how out of shape I really am. I had to cut my run short(3 decent paced minutes) so I wouldn't feel like I was going to lose a lung or my legs! Haha... well I hope this works out (pun!!! ha!) and I will post my progress on running and what new recipes I have tried. I won't be starting this until the basketball season is over so bear with me for a little while and then i will start!
