I be cooking and shit.

I have many photo dumps to do, but here is today's. COOKING ADVENTURES!



Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies. Left is done with the stoneware cookie sheet. Right done with the metal tray and a silpat. Can we tell which one I will be using in the future?


Now some Garam Masala Chocolate Gingerbread with Royal Icing! (Gluten Free
Cribbed icing bags:


I was studious:




(BTW Anya, these are yours)

And I tried out some new cookie cutters:


"What Darth Vader began to realise, was that when Boba Fett said, 'As you wish', what he really meant was 'I love you'."


TK-421, WHY AREN'T YOU AT YOUR POST?


Then I realised that I had a shitload more icing than cookies, and I started to get irritated:


So I iced the rejects:


I made a lot of things over the holidays:


But I forgot to make pictures of them. However, I am starting to write a cookbook in post-it notes. Thanks Gypsy. BUT! Before I forget!

I made breakfast in a muffin:


They aren't pretty when the come out of the oven. I can think of ways to make them more aesthetically attractive:


But when you cut them in half!


And that is my cooking odyssey for December and Stuff.

And stoneware, huh? I'll have to look into that, wow.

You're welcome. Don't forget to give me credit in the intro.

I kind of want your Garam Masala Gingerbread recipe but I'm afraid it'll be a little too much like chai. I can only handle a small amount of chai before it starts tasting off to me. Why? Who knows?

Those cookies look awesomely fun. Yoda's ears!

I used to like baking before I discovered apathy and supermarkets.

I've made those cookies too (they're delicious), but mine looked nowhere near as cool as yours. Especially the Star Wars ones.

Sweet, those cookie cutters actually came out really well! The first time I used those kinds, half my cookies came out misshapen and blorped because I hadn't found the right ratio of pre-flouring and pressure. They still tasted good though.
