Camilla: in Roman mythology, legendary Volscian maiden who became a warrior and was a favourite of the goddess Diana. According to the Roman poet Virgil (Aeneid, Books VII and XI), her father, Metabus, was fleeing from his enemies with the infant Camilla when he encountered the Amisenus (Amazenus) River. He fastened the child to a javelin, dedicated her to Diana, and hurled her across the river. He then swam to the opposite bank, where he rejoined Camilla.

2nd Day of 25 Days of Cookies!!
Thursday was my second day of cookies, I had no inspiration for what cookie to pick so my roommate chose for me. She picked a white chocolate peppermint drop. They turned out quite tasty I must say even if I did mess up the recipe (shhh!)
Here's the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens:
8 oz white baking chocolate with cocoa butter, chopped
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 c ap flour
2/3 c crushed candy canes
Preheat oven to 375F, in a small saucepan melt 4 oz of the white chocolate over low heat, cool slightly.
In a large bowl beat butter for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in melted white chocolate. Gradually beat in flour. Using a wooden spoon stir in remaining white choclate and crushed candy canes.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or lightly browned edges. Transfer cookies to cooling rack.
