when I was a kid, I LOVED to cook, bake, concoct -- I was always in front of the stove or a mixing bowl, always making something new and interesting. One of the things that was prominent in every memory is an awesome betty crocker cook book. I haven't been able to locate one like that (it was a picture step-by-step cook book), but since I know all the terminology, a regular betty crocker cook book has been serving me well the past few weeks. It's been well over 10 years since I've picked up a measuring cup with the intent to put flour and sugar in a bowl. I've been finding my passion for cooking the past few weeks (in my boredom), and since this particular kitchen has no currently reigning queen, I've stolen the position. I've been experimenting with various recipes and enjoying the outcomes (both in slightly hard biscuits that still taste really good and in yummy cookies that ended up slightly chewier), and most RECENTLY, as in RIGHT NOW, yummy yummy chocolate chip cookies. I'm cutting up snickers minis and sticking them on top too, for yummy caramelly nutty goodness. I really do miss the whole process. Even without proper mixing equipment, I'm still having fun getting my arms all sore from something OTHER than extracurricular activities and it's awesomeness :D
if anybody wants any cookies, I'm in livermore now :D
