money money money

well, i've realized that although cooking is extremely fun, it's also very expensive. it's only 3 weeks into school and i've already spent $50 on making food for people. not groceries, that bill is at least 5 times as much, this is just spur of the moment make someone a treat or dinner. it was really fun though! i have decided that the best way to cook is too have someone else buy the ingredients, like a generous older brother perhaps. (thanks noah!) i have figured out that bread is very cheap though. only about 36¢ per loaf without add-ins like garlic or cheese, and even that isn't too bad in small amounts. i think that'll be my generic thing to give people instead of cookies. it's kind of refreshing too, cuz everyone always brings cookies and brownies and cakes and stuff. i guess these are the kind of things i think about when i'm taking three econ classes :)

cooking in college

i don't know if i'll have a ton of time to cook, cuz i have a kind of intense schedule this year, but i'll do what i can, cuz it's so much fun! here's what i've made so far.

my roommate madison had a birthday, so i made her a cake.

i had a little bit of a disaster with the fondant, but i think it turned out okay.

my other roommate tegan randomly decided yesterday that she wanted to make something yummy, so we made peanut butter mousse

and chocolate ganache.

i had fun making them pretty.
