Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce

We've been really busy dealing with Ivan, so I haven't been able to cook much in January. I missed cooking. This morning, I made Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce for breakfast. I really enjoyed getting back in the kitchen and making it. Hehe. I got the recipe off Tastespotting - you can click here for the recipe.

It was delish! Here's a pic of my version:

Coconut Macaroons to ring in 2009

I decided to make Coconut Macaroons to ring in the new year. It's my first time making macaroons. I had a bunch of shredded coconut left over from Jerry's birthday, so I was looking for a recipe to use the coconut.

We were invited to a dinner with the Wongs, so I brought some for dessert (in addition to the chocolate mousse pie Jerry bought).

The ingredients were all white (flour, sugar, vanilla, coconut, salt, and egg whites)

Sugar combined with the beaten egg whites:
