Fancy Fritos?
My grandmother made frito pies today and they were so delicious! But we ran out of fritos so we just had beans with chili and toppings. Then there was an idea to crush up some corn chips so our frito pies were saved! Frito pies are fairly easy to make cook some beans as you normally would and pour on top of about a handful of fritos in a bowl. Res chili is an option. Normal toppings in our home are cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, but you can put anything that would be good to you. Well enjoy!

Yummy Plushie
A little kawaii (to me) plush doughnut! I got bored today so I resort to one of my favorite hobbies. Making plushies! =D I found an old pattern and I made a doughnut. I sewed seed beads as the sprinkles and used just regular stuffing. It is approximately 2 1/2 " across (7 cm) and approx. 3/4" in height (1-2 cm). I actually had a lot of fun with this project and hope to sell them eventually! ~Kat

My Adventures in Macarons!, : The History part 1
Just Blogging today...Ok, so here is how I got started in macarons.
So one day in August i was looking at an Hedgehog Blog (rhyme!) and I saw a little ad that said something about the best deals in my city. Amazingly it showed these cute dainty little sandwich cookie. I thought they were Whoopie pies. So I left-hand clicked on it and it said the name: MACARONS. So automatically I did search query, and up came so many sites about them. i decided that first I should go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron. So began my journey. I learned as much as I could about them.
Once I finished learning I decided to find a recipe. A chocolate one. I did and I had to rush to the store with my shopping list:
Cocoa Powder, Piping Bag, Piping tip, Almond Powder (this stuff is pretty darn expensive), Parchment Paper and Dark Chocolate. I was so excited to go home and get baking. I didn't have my blog then, so I just got to baking. Now I had never worked with meringue before. Well, I had but not using the method my recipe called for... so I began to make the meringue and I have had no experiance with this type so this definetly messed it up... But, I did not know that. Then I sifted and shook and folded my ingredents in. Piped and let them set...
Once I put them in the oven and began to wait for the yummy deliciousness that was soon to come. Little did I know that would not happen. Once I took them out they looked nothing like what I had seen and learned about. The result: a flat sticky cakelike mess all over my pans. I decided since they were unuseable so I broke them into pices and ate them as cereal. They were pretty good. I just wished that they were PRETTY and GOOD. And that became my quest to make the perfect one.
