Boring entry - skip it. Just for a record.
Frankly, I have put this latest post off for a while because it wasn't all that interesting to me, but I want to record this endeavor of mine.
So batch #28
S'more cookies
I've been craving something sweet, seems like constantly. I've probably been craving because I'm now kind of used to having something sweet around lately - and I was out. The body gets used to having something sweet, however when you stop eating sweets your body adjusts pretty quickly. So one Saturday (sometime late February) I made these cookies just to have around. Actually, I posted it on Facebook and invited people to come over. I was bored and no one came over, tear.
They were good - we rated them a four. They have marshmallows, oatmeal, chocolate chips in them - I would not call them a s'more cookie. To me a s'more cookie would need a bit of graham cracker in there - not oatmeal. If I invented a s'more cookie - (first, it wouldn't be a cookie, but a bar). I'd line the pan with graham crackers, put some sort of caramel sauce in order to unite the bottom. I layer it with marshmallows and chocolate, maybe some coconut - something like that.
Batch #29 Light Cream Cheese Streusal Bars
These were heavenly. It was a chocolate crumbly layer on the bottom, with a cream cheese middle and the crumbly mixture on top. I was worried this wouldn't turn out. I needed to cut up the cold butter with a fork (mixed with the cocoa powder and such) - I worked really hard at it, it took a bit of muscle - but then when I baked it, it looked like the crumbly chocolate mixture didn't melt or anything - it still looked really crumbly. But after I put it in the fridge to harden, we were good.
I made this for my Creative Memories party.
I'm sorry, this posting really sucks. It's not interesting, its not funny - I'll try to de better next time. Speaking of which - heading up to the cabin this weekend -I'll be making Blarney Stone Bars in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Hopefully the weekend is fun and good so I have something interesting to write about.
I'm really quite ashamed as a teacher. I know all the tools to make writing better and more creative - I just don't want to go through the work to do it.
