Thanksgiving

Ya so maybe Thanksgiving was a little while ago but it’s never to late.  Being able to go home from school even though it’s for a sort time is always so exciting!  It’s nice to sleep in your own bed and to finally get to do all the things you’ve been imagining doing for weeks.I love going home for breaks.  I get to see my family and just spend time with them. We’re so crazy and loud and probably really strange but it works for us.  That’s the kind of stuff we do.  I always feel that I’m myself the most when I’m at home, I’m the safest and no one thinks anything of it.  Just don’t burn the house down.Food is really important to us.  Basically everything we do revolves around food.  We love baking and cooking!  Pie is defiantly one of my favorite things though, there’s just nothing like it.  The food we have at Thanksgiving dinner is always special, there’s something on the table that is made because maybe just one person likes it but it’s important to that one person.
Another thing I love though is how my step-dad and my Mema (my grandmother) always ‘fight’ about the gravy, my Mema makes it, but it has to be done a specific way.  I always think it’s hilarious how they talk about the art of making gravy.  Maybe it’s only funny because I don’t like gravy.  Either way, it’s something I look forward to every year.  What are your guys’ favorite Thanksgiving traditions?

FOR PROM!!!

At the last football game of the season.  My class had a bake sale to raise money so that our prom would e cheaper.  We doesn’t the food look great?!?!  People bought a lot but we still had some left over…. just kidding that’s a lie.  As the game ended two of our player mothers said that they would buy whatever we had left.  It was so sweet and while I don’t know how much we raised I would guess it’s around $300.  So even though none of you where there, probably, I just feel like thanking everybody I see so THANKS!!!  I can go to prom without spending as much money.

People loved the food too, I have to complement my grade there on being excellent bakers.  There was something for every taste.  We got a bunch of support for something that while isn’t the most important thing in the world, is something that we’ll never forget.  Now I just have to find a prom dress!!

Deem some hot CREPES!!

          When my brother is home that means one things.  We make food together.  Preferably something that’s pretty bad for me.  this time we made crepes and home made hot chocolate.  I love working on things in the kitchen.  Putting on some awesome tunes and letting things cook.  It’s also nice to be cooking with someone else.   
I love hot chocolate.   It was on my Top Ten list for foods.  I’ve never made it from scratch before though.  I wasn’t sure what I was doing but it turned out fantastic, I loved it so much.  My brother had gotten the book above for me a couple of years ago.  I had forgotten about it until he asked me if I wanted to make some hot chocolate.  But there was something else to go with the hot chocolate that would be awesome…. some crepes.

There was once last food that was to go in between the hot chocolate and the crepes.  For the party we had made risotto and there was a lot left over.  So my brother made rice balls with the left over tomatoes and mozzarella.  they were really easy to make and tasted so goo.  Having the cheese and the tomatoes inside the rice and then we rolled it in flour and fried them.  They were so great.  I would defiantly make them again.

Everybody’s Working For the Weekend

      Okay, not so much for me since I’m working this weekend but still.  After being in a bleh mood (which you can probably tell from the last post) I went into super drive today after work.  I made peach salsa, it’s delicious, finished another assignment, and made some really cool decorations for my room.  I usually go into a super work mode for months and then crash sometime in between so here’s to the start of my first spurt.  Tomorrow after work I plan on doing more homework, cleaning my room, and getting to work on ideas for this blog.  I’m sorry little blog that you’ve been neglected.  Hopefully once I go back to school I can do some blogging in the morning before school since I usually have 15 min. before I go down to breakfast.  I have some pictures of the yummy bruschetta I made last week. I thought it was really good and I ended up eating most of it by myself anyway.  I think I’ll make some cookies this weekend and some peach ice cream to have when my brother comes home later this month.  Well, I put up the salad I made to, it actually had a lot more in it than you can see from that picture.  Tomorrow I’ll put up picture of the salsa.
