| Cardamom Cream Cookies |
Breakfast: Rye flax seed sourdough toast
Lunch: Grilled herring with potato tomato salad
Dinner: Polenta with mixed veges and white beans
The cardamom cream cookies were divine. The combination of cream and cardamom is fantastic. Cardamom is used quite extensively in various Indian milk based desserts. Cardamom is also used quite a bit in Scandinavian desserts, the most popular being cinnamon buns. The Cardamom cream cookies were made with cream instead of butter, so the cookies were crispy on the outside and cakey on the inside. It was almost like a crispy cake. The recipe is found here.

In 2010 alcohol sales increased by 10% even though there is relatively high unemployment rate. People have their priorities right! I remember reading somewhere that during the great depression alcohol consumption was encouraged by removing certain restrictions since growth of the alcohol industry could promote economic development.
The Huffington Post article states that the “only growth sector besides alcohol sales has been health care. It seems that the two ways Americans are responding to their economic sorrows are by healing them (antidepressant sales are up) and drinking them away.” I think the author forgot to mention the legal sector. Lawyers do well during good times and bad!
Everything looks fabulous and so healthy for us a no guilt site love the cookies!
