chocolate crinkle cookies... and a boot!

I'm competitive.  Like crazy insane competitive. I try to keep it under control, but sometimes it just eats me alive.  One reason why I cook is for the love that people give that comes along with it.  So when I go to a party and someone else has brought something tastier than my dish, I get less love.

My friends had a little get together a couple of months ago and this tramp (not really, she was super nice) brought these sexy good chocolate crinkle cookies, which totally trumped my... I don't even remember what I made!  ha!  But I remembered the cookies.

so I looked up a recipe on Pinterest.

they were just as I remembered.

delicious.

here's the pin.

In other news, I developed a stress fracture last night.  ugh.

It is located in the 4th metatarsal of my right foot and I can hardly put any pressure.

Phooey!!!

I was really hitting my running stride!

okay now let's take another look at those beautiful cookies.

mm, mm, mm.

witch fingers... yikes!

Tonight my friend Ashlee Jean came over and got me to help her make a Halloween treat for her to take to work tomorrow.  We decided to make witch fingers.  They taste similar to a sugar cookie or a tea cake but they have almond extract in them.  yum!

here's our creations...

fingers ready to bake... creepy!

baked... ready to serve.

grab a band-aid, our witch started bleeding!

more bangles and the cookies I hate.

My weekend consisted of a woodburner, bangle bracelets, decoupage, and David making no bake cookies.

We'll start with the cookies... I'm sure to many they are delectable. Not my favorite treat...

I bought a woodburner to try some things out on the bracelets... for the ones I screwed up, I just decoupaged on top! you can't go wrong with decoupage.

woodburner... Zoe was interested but I wouldn't let her sniff it.

unfinished bracelet on my knee.

my bracelets for the weekend!
woohoo!

mexican wedding cakes or cookies??

I don't know if they should really be called cakes... they look and act like cookies to me. I made some for a party the other day... here's the results.
