Huzzah!

My pictures of the truffles and pochettes, everything else is nearly finished or looks pretty since it is leftovers from Christmas (:

Yummy.

Once again...

Posting extremely late, (or a day late), due to the sickness I've had since Saturday D:

Yesterday was quite eventful, but this week was full of making super, super amounts of food and treats. I made Pasta with Roasted Vegetables, a Roasted Vegetable Horse-radish seasoning steak, Raspberry and Orange Marmalade Pochette Pastries, Chocolate Cookie Dough Truffles, and an Apple, Pear, and Cranberry Crisp. I will try to post photos of each of the deserts, however most of them were eaten on Christmas.

I will be sure to update though, I'm feeling a bit better. However, I really want to go out in this blizzard, it is super pretty out.

Don't think I forgot!

About last weeks baking expedition.

I made Peaches and Cream Oatmeal cookies for the holiday party on Saturday.

This week I have tons and tons of things to bake (AND COOK!) so, i'll keep ya posted. Ha ha! posted! we're on a blog.

I officially hate myself.

Well...the results are in...

I ended up baking three things for one day, AND COOKED! Sadly I do not behold a picture of the Hot and Smokey Rice I made, but I have pictures of the Peppermint Bark, Turtle Grahams, and for the official baking expedition of the week, PEPPERMINT SWIRLS.

It has been a very long day.

Debating between...

Does anyone know which I should bake?

pointless.

I bought a new dress today!

A wonderful weekend of procrastination, plays, and baking...

I am still waiting for Andrea to send me the photos, but I had to make Turtle Grahams instead of the Hazelnut Crunch this week because I was "crunched" on time (GET IT!?). I swear I made them though! And they can be found on food network once again.

Anyways, I am starting the sleep journal for psychology this week, so if there are any cool dreams I'll let ya know.

Also, let's take a brief view of me in a social place.

I'm on the right.

That is all.

Goodnight, everyone.

Waiting

for Andrea to upload the photos of the Turtle Grahams I made!

Whoever took this is wonderful and has captured many of my loves in one photo.

Hazelnut Crunch! Yum yum yum.

Baking Expeditions of the Week!

Number 1: Almost-Famous Pumpkin Cheesecake

Number 2: Baked Hush Puppies

Number 3: JIF Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies

All of them turned out terrific! There isn't any cheesecake or hush puppies left, though. I had a lot of good feedback on the Cheesecake. And the peanut butter cookies I decided to make today out of boredom, and also just a result of me procrastinating.

Both Baked Hush Puppies and the Cheesecake can be found on foodnetwork.com, and the cookies can be found just on the back of your JIF jar of peanut butter (:

It was a fantastic weekend.

The wonderful photography of my mother

Taken in Barcelona quite a few months ago. Just found an entire album Pilar sent me on my computer.

It's Sunday!

Which means I finally get to make the cheesecake again! I must admit that I have made this before, but I promised my Aunt Chris I would make it for Thanksgiving, so since it is hard enough I will count it for this weeks baking expedition. Can't wait for Wednesday, hell yeah. Also, I just wanted to say that I christmas shopped today, so I put one of my pictures of christmas lights up.

Excited? I am.

I WANT SOME S'MORE!

And S'mores Brownies were the choice for this week! I must say, making homemade brownies is not as hard as it seems, but dealing with those melted marshmallows was quite eventful. According to the family they taste delicious, but the real taste-testers are the people of the drama rehearsal tomorrow. We shall see.

If you would like the recipe, it can be found here.

Tangibility

New haircut!

So far it has been said that I look like:

3) Julie Andrews

4) Peter Pan

5) Tinker Bell

6) Twiggy

7) Amelia Earhart

Have anymore? Let me know.

Coming up this week...

The Brownie Smores, but if I have time and am feeling daring I will take on the Appleberry-Peach Strudel-Style Pastry! But as of right now, it is brownie smores. Both found on foodnetwork. Woo!

Re: This week I will tackle...

Look! I made them! And they were extremely easy to make. It kind of tastes a bit like pumpkin bread with cheesecake frosting on top. It makes a lot of servings, but they are small squares. I made about 39. It was fun, Pat helped me shop for the supplies today. Just give me a few moments and I will decide what I am going to bake for this week.

What a night.

Thanksgiving is coming.

Last night...

I had a dream that beetles were crawling all over me, and I was extremely itchy. No matter how many times I itched at them, they would just keep reappearing. According to a dreammooods website, noticing a beetle in a dream "indicates that some destructive influences may be at work in [my] waking life. [And that I] may also feel that your values and beliefs are being compromised." This is very strange to think about because it is crazy how the subconscious can turn emotions you are feeling on the outside into tangible objects in your dreams. Crazy, right?

I'll look more into it.

Interest of the day...

I think I may just copy Andrea and buy this for my senior sweater. Despite lacking the ability to sew it on.

This week I will tackle...

Apparently they are easy to make, so I'll make them this week since I'm super busy. They are called Pumpkin Bars. Perhaps I'll bring them to the after party on Saturday ;)

I apologize

for the lack of posting.

I am going to go on a photo venture.

I have been far too busy.

However, I will start off by saying the weekend was nice.

You may notice on the bottom of my page there is a picture saying to hype me on a website. You may do it if you so please to, it is just a fashion blog.

I'm also going on a baking expedition, going to try and bake a new recipe each week.

This week I will announce what it is and show the end result.

Cool? I think it's a nice way to get my mind off of things.

I will also post about the dream I had the night before.

And I would like to inform you that I am so happy to be getting sushi tonight.

Later, everyone.

Day 48 and 49
