Ginger cookies

My lovely girlfriend Milda made ginger cookies again today :) The last batch of cookies went so fast that this time she made 3 plates full of goodies. The recipe needs the following ingredients:

100g butter
100g sugar, recommended brown
150g honey
1 egg
400g flour
a bit of salt
1 tee spoon of baking soda
2 tee spoons of blended ginger
1 tee spoon of cinnamon
1 tee spoon of hot wine spices
2 table spoons of sour cream

Put together as:

Mix well butter and sugar.
Peel off ginger and blend it together with an egg. Put it together with butter and sugar.
Mix baking soda with sour cream and put to the bowl for pastry (there should be butter, sugar, egg and ginger by now :) ).
Add honey and spices and mix all the ingredients well.
Add flour to make pastry of a consistence for cookies. Put it in the fridge for half an hour.

Flatten the pastry, and form the cookies (I do that by cutting it to squares with a pizza knife :) ). Heat the oven up to 180 degrees and bake the cookies for 10 – 15 minutes. Velbekomme.

OMG so many cookies!

A new frontend to openstreetmap

Was reading the blog of cloudmade today and found that they have a similar service to maps.google.com, called oddly enough maps.cloudmade.com. Instead of maps.google.com this uses openstreetmap as its source of data. This map seems to work a lot nicer than the frontend at openstreetmap.org. And shows more things like gas stations and shopping posibilities as one can see here:

Finally the day has arrived when mms 1.1.0 has been released. After 9 release candidates the release is finally here. The last couple of months of only focusing on bugs has really payed off. Everyone was only fixing bugs which means that we where able to squaze in 67 bug fixes in 2 and a half month.
