sugar dreams again

Ah, my favorite cookie. I just made these and now I'm going to bed. Now I can take 1 or 2 in my snack tomorrow. ok, well my mom made the dough when I was at school and I took some out of the freezer and baked them. These ARE NOT like regular sugar cookies. They are way better.

"sick" today

and this is where I went


 my mom likes the flowers
 i like the bread a lot and I think I ate most of it and 2 butters.
 this oyster is from Carlsbad but i didn't eat it
lunch was great. I ordered the macaroni gratin and got lemon and rasberry sorbet for dessert.  This is WAY better than school.

ripe bananas

we always have really ripe bananas and this is what i do with them




yummmmm. banana bread with cinnimon topping. My Mom says this bread is diffrent than most banana bread because it has a more fine crumb and is not so dense.

well this is not dessert

well this is not dessert but my mom said to put it in my blog anyway. We saw a video on chow.com and it was a cool video about how to cook beans. I like to watch the your doing it wrong videos. My friend Chris told me about chow.com. I dont like beans but my mom said someday i will like them. Rancho gordo has so many beans I never knew there were so many beans. Some look cool but i sitll don't think i will like them. My brother Alex loves beans and so does Sophie. Alex likes brown ones and Sophie likes black ones but I think I don't like the way they feel I think. We made tritip meat and some little beans and I washed them before school  and my mom cooked them when i was at school.

Here is a picture of the new cookbook I got even if I don't like beans the chef signed the book and its cool to have a book signed by the chef and those are my favorite books

Churros

We made churos yesterday but my mom was afraid to let me squeeze in the dough because I might get burned. I really wanted to but at least I got to cover them with cinnimon and sugar. The resipe came from my sweet mexico and I want to bake with Fany in June when we go to new york city.  Her resipe is the best even better than the churos at legoland fun town except we didnt have chocolate sauce to dip in because my mom said that would ruin the flavor of the special cinimon. The cinimon came from rancho gordo and its called canela. Here they are YUM.

Blueberry muffins

I made these this morning from my clinton street baking company book. My mom got a bookplate for me signed by DeDe and Neil. These are the best blueberry muffins and I like the papers because they are cool to peel and make the muffin look fancyer.
This one is kinda short because I ate the big ones before i remember to take a picture
