Yay! The exam is over. I hope I passed. =) Although you only need 60% to pass, a lot of people fail it every year. Scary! But it is over and done with now. I get the results in the mail in December. Right around Christmas time. Sucks!!!! Oh well. Now that it is over. Let me post some long overdue pics.
First, my doggie Happy:
Cute huh? =) And then of course, Halloween just passed. And here is the batch of cookies I made.
The creepy fingers were made with Martha Stewart's recipe, but I changed it up a little bit and flavored the cookies with Almond extract as well as vanilla since the nails were made of almonds. Maybe that extra little bit of liquid is why my fingers came out fatter and flatter than hers. Next year, I'm thinking of filling the inside with a red colored dough or maybe some red jelly, you know, to simulate blood. =) I'm also thinking that maybe I should make them more multicultural. Have some black fingers, some white, and then some green witches. Maybe flavor them different too. The balls with eyes were a chocolate cookie with peanut butter filling that I found online. The only complaint about the recipe from folks online was that they were not visually attractive. My solution? Pipe eyes onto them. Very Halloween. Reminds me of the dustballs from Spirited Away. My only complaint is that those peanutbutter cookies REALLY need milk to go with them! =)
