Cooking Mania

This semester... I think I have GONE CRAZY!!

... a little though, only...

(These pictures were the best I could do... some look washed out, please beleive they looked better in reality.)

In the first weeks, I wanted to have Mormon Martinis.

Vwala!!

(milk+cookie)

Then, there was the secret of the plum tree that I enjoyed...

Then... I made my traditional no-bakes... several times.

My most beautiful meal prepared for my father!

(good time for it to be so right!?)

Then, I made my first Mac and Cheese from scratch! (my own cheese sauce anyway!)

(as it happens, also for my father!)

Then I realized how much better I liked REAL cookies to the no-bake and wanted more.

Then, my girls and I had a halloween party!

(candy corn... store.)

I did have my Kool-Aid Martini, but it worked in Champagne glasses.

Then I made pumpkins!!

For this... probably don't ask... the shot glass ones were all gone by the time I got pictures...

(pudding+dyed pudding+sprinkles+bloody bones)

Then, cupcakes with spiders!!

And some of the cheeseball.. obviously a hit!

German Pancakes, a family breakfast treat that I just missed too much.

So... Sometimes... I get needy, needy for socialization and smiles... 

So, what do I do!?

 I cook what I can, for as long as I can and hope I can share with more than just my roommates.

Banana Bread

(before baking)

Again.

(after, of course)

And this... well, lets say this was loved and that I was slow.

(there are the plates & napkins from the halloween party!

And later, when I was near exhaustion from cooking, I worked on my crepe making.

I have made repeats of cookies and brownies in particular, but these were the times I documented my growing ability to cook.

I am thinking about the brownies I made Monday... hmmm... sounds yummy... 

with whipped topping... any takers?
