So... I Baked! And Made Squares!

Yes! I accomplished yet another task on my huge list. Sadly, this is my very last free week before classes start up again next Tuesday :-(. I may have mentioned this before, but I feel like my creative juices just really flow better when I'm at home; I have everything at my disposal, such as my yarns or a nice clean oven...but hey, that's what the summer months are for!

So what did I make, you might ask? I have no idea what one would call it. I took some ingredients from around the house, put them in a cupcake pan, and set the oven for 375.

I knew we had some cookie mix, and my sister had some leftover eggnogg. So those were my two ingredients, though I did put some oil in there for good measure.

Added the nog until it was about pancake batter consistency. I call this "My Experiment" because I didn't measure anything, though I believe I put in about 2 and 3/4 cups of the mix....or maybe it was 1 and 3/4? Eh, I'm not super concerned.

 Into the pan the mix went!

Just a quick bake, since it was an experiment.

little bit of nogg for myself...mmm

Add a pinch of one of my faves

are they done?

nope....not done

back into the pan the pieces (that I didn't eat) go

At this point, I was semi disappointed. I didn't use any eggs, because I figured there was enough in the eggnogg, which may be why they were very custard like in the middle. Or I just used too much nogg. Either or. I put some of the pieces back in the pan, and then put them back in for another 15 min or so.

more done than previous...

....kinda

And that was my One (Left side of photo) , the one that actually came out of the five. It tasted real good though.

and my favorite part (but not really). Dishes. Blegh. But overall, it was fun. I wanted cupcakes, but my dad said they were more like muffins. I am satisfied with that.

Right! I also made lots of squares. Best thing to do when you love a shirt but can't give it up because you're a crazy pack rat like me you for some reason can't is to make it into a quilt square! Takes up SO MUCH LESS SPACE and makes you feel good! I got lots of squares, and even a few balls of yarn for my t-shirt rugs I only ever do when I'm bored.

I also got a wonderful inspirational idea to make some baby bibs out of the leftover t-shirt parts. Maybe another project for later? Debating. They would be so adorable, but I don't know how many people would want to use a cotton bib for a child. I feel like it would stain easily and just get real gross real fast. But it could be a cute apron for an older child? Oh, the possibilities :-)

Cheers!
