This week for Chemistry class, we had to convert measurement from grams, milliliters, and other measurements into cups for a cookie recipe. Not only did we have to do that, but we got to bake cookies at home as homework! Baking something for homework? I can do that everyday.
Since last Winter Break, I really got in touch with my cooking skills and began to bake a lot of things. Mexican desserts, like empanadas, to cakes, to brownies, and, of corse, cookies. Ever since I was little, I loved my mom's cookies. But it seemed as though every time I baked them, they were never as good as hers. However, I finally got it down on Monday night when I was baking my chocolate chip cookies from scratch for Chem class. I guess it was because for once I did not mess up the recipe and I mixed in everything slowly. First I mixed the eggs, vanilla, the sugars, and the butter first, and then I slowly mixed in the flour, salt, and baking soda until it was evenly mixed. I guess that really did the trick, because they came out soft and fluffy. So, I really think the secret when baking things is to just take your time with it and enjoy it. Even though the clean up at the end is a pain, it will be worth it.

Love this idea of writing about food alphabetically. My favorite topping for chicken enchiladas is salsa verde, too. You're doing very well. But add links to recipes or other sites about the subject. Thus far: A-
