Excerpt from the book White Oleander by Janet Fitch. I'd say if you really wanted to crack my brain open, you'd get the book that I refer to as my bible....



First kiss - I was 16 and with my first boyfriend (that I was allowed to have). It was during a hayride after Thanksgiving. I remember wearing gingerbread flavored chapstick and kinda going into shock after he grabbed my face.

First pet - My mom's schnauzer. God I hated that dog.

First impression of SL - Oh..my...GOD...that is a huge dick.

First Car - 1986 Ford F150 extended bed. I totaled it. Don't ask how.

First thing i cooked - It was either mac n cheese or poached eggs.

First lay - I'm saving myself for Jesus. He said He would come again and that intrigues me.

First RL crush - Benji, from kindergarten. I lunged at him and marked my territory.

First SL crush - After nearly 4 years in SL I still remember his name! But he's apparently still active so I'm not saying who.

Cookie:
2 cups wheat flour
? cup oats, ground fine
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup vegetable margarine
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp Molasses

Filling:
1.5 lb fresh apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Juice of a lemon

To make Cookie: in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer beat the "butter" and molasses until well-combined. Add flour mixture, and beat until combined into a sticky dough. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap it up, and press down to flatten a bit. Chill in refrigerator.

In a saucier or medium sauce pan, combine apples, cinnamon, half of the sugar, and half of the lemon juice. Mash a few times with a potato masher or fork. Cook mixture over medium-high heat until bubbling and sugar has dissolved; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, until it has reduced by about one-third and is beginning to gel. Set aside until completely cool.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Cut dough into four pieces. On a well-floured surface, roll the first piece out to about 12 inches by 6 inches. Place on cookie sheet. Spread about 1/4 cup of the cooled jam along half of the sheet of pastry, lengthwise (ie, the 12-inch side), leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges. Fold the other, naked side of the pastry over the jam-spread side, and press down on edges to seal. Create tiny slits with a knife on surface of pastry, about 2 inches apart, to allow air to escape while baking. Repeat with remaining three sections of dough, ending with 2 pastries on each cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until pastry is just beginning to turn golden.

Cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then slice into bars.
