It seems the rain is never going to stop. Never. Never. sigh. So tot and I were stuck inside this morning and decided to make chocolate chunk cookies (or I decided and he went along for the ride). It was a new recipe and turned out pretty good. Gabriel enjoyed stirring the dough and eating chocolate pieces.  :) He loves rubber stamping, too, so I let him pick a few stamps out and we decorated tags that we tied to little bags of the cookies, which we then delivered to a friend. I have extra tags so we will use them for our next round of deliveries.

Mmm, made pumpkin pie this morning. It is still too hot to taste it but it smells wonderful. I used this recipe for the pie. And, I found a super easy pie crust recipe so I had from scratch crust in two minutes. Seriously, it was like two minutes. Here’s the recipe: Super Easy Pie Crust Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons milk Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir together. Then pat mixture into bottom and up the sides of 9 inch pie pan. Poke holes in bottom and side of crust. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown. Use as directed in favorite pie recipe. (I didn’t bake the crust in advance since the whole pie needed to bake.)

I made my own baked good creation today! Yes, I am excited. So I was going to make “Jam Roly Poly” but did something super dumb I have never done before: the recipe took up two pages and I read it all the way through before starting (not dumb). Except I forgot to turn back to page one before starting so I started baking with the ingredients for the scones recipe on the facing page (dumb). After 1.5 times as much flour, 1.5 times the salt, and 2.5 times as much baking powder had been added as was needed for Jam Roly Poly, I noticed my error. So I combined the two recipes and modified some things… and ended up with super yummy Roly Poly Jam Scones! (I’ll post my creation’s recipe after I type it up later.) It’s this really delicious black raspberry jam in the middle. Basically you make the dough, roll it out into a rectangle, spread jam on it, roll it up, bake, then slice. I thought it was super yummy and I tied up some slices of it for friends. I love baked goods wrapped in parchment paper, tied up with baker’s twine (especially tangerine & white baker’s twine).
