Bake-Off

PC staff decided to give us Saturday off so they packed today full of sessions and quizzes that, if we “fail”, will not stop us from becoming volunteers. As you can imagine, we all studied really hard and were worried.

I finally made chocolate chip cookies for my family! The only substitutions I had to make were honey mixed w/ sugar for brown sugar and for chips I cut up 2.5 Cadbury baking chocolate bars. After slowly cooking just 6 cookies at a time, I got tired of it and put the remaining dough in the pot for a large coolie pie thingy. Turned out great and was much faster than making individual cookies. While I was making the cookies, Simon was making cake. He loves to make it so I gave him a translated recipe for the chocolate bundt cake I had made before Shadow. With these sweets, this family is going to be hyped up on sugar!
