Mixed Feelings

Goal #16-Try two new recipes a month for 6 months

FINISHED!!!!!

This saddens me just a little.  It was fun to find recipes

that we thought would taste good and then

make them.  Less than half tasted good enough

to make again, but it was a fun experience. 

August Recipes

For Lorin's birthday I decided to make a cake for him.  I tried a cake recipe that was blueberry Lemon Cake.  It sounded and looked so good.



How it looked on the recipe-Yum

Looks good in the pan

Looks good on the plate with ice-cream

It had a very different taste-was ok with ice cream, but not good enough to make again.

We ended up throwing most of it away-of course it stayed in the fridge until

we got back from North Carolina so it was a bit old.

The very last recipe of the goal is Macaroon cookies. They were fast and fun to make, but took 20 minutes to bake.

How they looked on the recipe (sorry about the shadows)

YUMMY!!!!!!

Perfectly brown-moist and tender.  We will make it again.

Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am eating this cookie in celebration of the half-way done cake that I was supposed to have with Tish today to commerate being half-way done with our goals.  Ok, I'm eating it at 9:00 at night-better late than never, right?  Tish did you have your cake/cookie?

It looks so good I think Lorin and I will

go to the kitchen and have one now.

What do you mean it is 11:30 at night?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Goal # 52 - Buy new make-up

Ok, this goal on a scale of 1-10 was at least an 11. :)

Buying make-up is so much easier than buying clothes.

I can't say too much more about it.  It was a lot of fun.
