Super Mega Update

Well, November is half way over and I've done a terrible job of updating lately. The past few weeks have been pretty crazy. Hopefully, this mega-update will suffice. I'm not sure how much I'll get to cook at home over the break. Scratch that - I'll get to cook a metric shit ton - but I don't know how often I'll be able to update.

Onto some of my more interesting recent endeavors. Tomato Soup with Ricotta Dumplings. Good, not great and probably not worth my time in the future. It was easy enough, but the dumplings were either too tough or too silky - they seemed to either be stones or they would simply melt into the soup.



Next up... mmm two delicious pomegranates become...



Beautiful, delicious pomegranate seeds: yay antioxidants!!! (Also, if Persephone ate only six of these to tide her over while she was in Hades, honky bitch was anorexic).



By reducing the amount of brown sugar, I actually have created some gluten-free peanut butter cookies that are both chewy and wafer thin - perfect for sandwiching with peanut butter mmmm... also, Reduced-Fat Jif = AMAZING



Finally, on this mega-update post: what won't I do for my class? Space Invader Cupcakes? Check... I'm kind of super proud of these guys. Fondant + Scissors = heaven. Period.
