More things I have tried


 Recipe from here.
 Instead of using the shortening he recommends, I used margarine. This... gave it a kind of delicious but kind of a reminder that there is margarine in it.. Good and bad, depending on how your conscience works. 

 I made overnight coffee, good for cold coffee!
Yummy, all ready for my passport picture!
 
  Babysat and made bubble snakes!
 
Made chocolate chip cookies, of course.

I made honey-oat bread à la Subway.. 
I made honey-oat bread à la Subway.. 
The Subway-inspired feast.. Yesssssssss.

( And I helped prepare this chicken (here it is unbaked!)

I also made a cheesecake (out of a box.......) which was really good! And I made brigadeiros, that I totally overcooked into chocolate caramels, oops. But after the second day, they had moistened up, and the texture was PERFECT. They were delicious!

Freedom tastes good.

I AM FREEEEEEEE FROM HIGH SCHOOL!

And so far on my vacation, I have made tuna burgers/patties, hashbrowns, a (miniature) two-layer chocolate cake, a pizza from scratch, and yeah. It's been satisfying to finally have time for what I enjoy.

So.. This.. cake. Well, my mom convinced me that, since the box (okay, I made the cake out of a box, but the frosting was all me!) said that you could either pour the batter into a 9x13, it would work for an 8" circular layer cake. Lies! So, I ended up with a layer cake with one cake's batter. Hah.
So those weird non-pepperoni things were an experiment. I tried putting zucchini (I cooked it first) on my pizza. Not a horrible mistake, they just didn't add anything to the pizza. Next time, no zucchini on my pizza! Stop trying to avoid making a salad, and just do it, silly!
