Turns out cookies taste a bit er, different, when you halve the butter, sugar, and flour in your recipe but not the salt, eggs, and baking powder.

Oops.
I’ve decided that I’m going to start calling a lot more of my food “homemade.”
To be honest I homemake a lot of my food. Sure I homemake it in my microwave, but considering my microwave is in my home, I think I can get off on a technicality.
Our kitchen is small.
Small enough that when I pulled a bowl of peas out of the toaster oven and turned around to put them on my plate that I inadvertently ran the bowl into a wall, thus sending little green balls rolling across the kitchen floor.
Sigh.
I put a couple notches on the ol’ cooking belt tonight after making some superb chocolate chip cookies (plump, thick, chocolatey, awesome!) for a good friend and the homeless kids that she helps out.
I took a notch out of my belt when, upon putting the first batch into the oven, I found some wedding leftovers that were burnt to a crisp having (apparently) been in the oven for the past month. Even my scientific-minded husband hasn’t figured out how we didn’t see the dish any of the numerous times we used that appliance.
So two nights ago, Mike and I had fishsticks straight from the box for dinner.
Last night, we went with Mac ‘N Cheese ‘N Peas.
Yeah, so I mean, we’re pretty much a culinary power couple. Well, sort of.
So I’m doing horribly on my quest to try out a new recipe once a fort night. I’m doing excellent, however, on not buying any new soap and relying entirely on my supply of hotel freebies.
What does this say about me?
I’m excellent at fulfilling goals that require minimal effort and zero money. As for things that require time, funding and research … well, there’s some room for improvement.
