Oatmeal Office Cookies

Every Wednesday my colleagues are crowded in our office kitchen — it is the day when fruits and cookies baskets arrive in our office. Fruits are cheerful as always but the oatmeal cranberry cookies are worth to mention here. You can buy them in every supermarket — usually I never do that, it is really seldom we have cookies in my home — they are sweet, they are tasty and due to the oatmeal we can say they are healthy.

The recipe is taken from the cookies package, with small adjustments.

Red Onions and Brie Tart

It is definitely not true that Norwegians got social only during summers. Well, it is true that the most of them are to find outside on summer nights but when you got short summer, you outa enjoy it as much as you can. But really social people in Oslo get in October - when the fall is a factum, fireplaces comfort by dancing flames and it is a time for a glass of red wine. I was invited to my friends on Fri, I got friends over to my place on Saturday. And the best you can serve for these days is this comfort pie. Or tart.
