A while ago we were fortunate enough to stumble on a massive sale at Kmart… They had kitchen sets with like 100 pieces including pots and pans for $200… Awesome! Yay for having a matching kitchen set now

So to celebrate James and I invited our lovely friend Susie over to have some fun and do some baking! She had just bought some adorable dinosaur cookie cutters so we decided to make yummy dinosaur cookies.

We mixed up all the ingrediants, how cute is Susie btw?

Half way through we got distracted because there was a little mouse outside digging in the garden!! So cute! The photo is blurry because I took it through the door, I didn’t want to go outside with it hahaha.

I imagine James is thinking “Make my cookies girls!” Hahahaha! Nice try James, no cookies for you!

Dinosaur cookies!
Stamping was fun, unfortunately we picked a recipe which really wasn’t designed to make cookies.

Of course while we were having fun talking about Decoden and trying to learn Japanese, James decided to play with the cookie cutters… dinosaur threesome= Slightly adult. ^_^

While I was icing the cookies Susie played my “Japanese Coach” game on my DS. She decided right then that she was going to get one

Yummy cookies!
The icing made them look kind of gross!

Tadaa!
Smile! They were delicious… well maybe not delicious but they sure were chocolatey…

The end! What’s your favorite recipe?

Last week on Ricoche (a gal forum) Brenli and I were discussing my lack of skills cooking. Specifically this photo:
Now I am a terrible cook, just ask James he has to eat my terrible food and try to smile why he’s doing it! Anyway the story goes my cupcakes fail but Brenli had seem similar fail turned into cute little Octopus cakes. My cupcakes decided to become a sea!

I present cupcake sea madness!

So you have to get all the ingrediants before you begin, I’m lazy so I use cake mix!

You’re wondering… I’ve been to Violet’s place and her kitchen is not that clean wtf?! Well i moved the mess to the other counter

Mix everything up until it turns up into gross but delicious sludge.

Add the patty cake thingies into your dish and then colour your mixture blue and green!

Pour the mix in but make sure that you leave some of the white cupcake patties sticking out because they are going to be the waves!

Mix mix mix.
Looks great huh? Kind of reminds me of Playdoh… delicious!
Stick it in the oven for a while… who knows how long. My oven sucks, it’s like 3 times hotter than a regular oven and the knobs don’t work so well.

Tadaa! Looks yummy right?
Now take some time while it cools down to pose and show your outfit! I freaking love this dress!

Once it’s all cool add some icing! Make sure you don’t do this when it’s still hot because otherwise it will melt everywhere. I made this mistake last time

Now add as many sprinkles as you want!

Ok so it doesn’t really look like the sea but you know what I do
n’t care! It was yummy!

Hurrah time to enjoy it!

Delicious

So you guys want to come over and eat my crappy sea cake? I swear I ate it and didn’t even throw it up!

My oh my does James love to cook! Sometimes I think he just says that because he knows how much I HATE cooking haha! Oh well as long as I don’t have to do it I don’t care

Well James’ favorite things to cook are sweet things and he’s always missing the food in America. Imagine his surprise and joy when he found a recipe for Smores in a magazine!

So he decided to test it out…

The cookies took so loooong to cook! And our oven temperature gauge is broken so he had to wait to make sure nothing got burnt.

Finally they’re done!

And they look delicious!

And they taste delicious! And they make great nose warmer too apparently.

Aww but one boy can’t eat them all ;_; Don’t worry I’ll help too :D:D:D
