I baked!

Yes, believe it or not, I have been using some of the recipes on this blog!
Here, let me pause for a moment while you faint.

Tonight I tried jg's chili recipe (slightly modified) and the black bean brownie recipe. I have yet to try either, but they both look good, or at least like what they are supposed to be. I'll have to write another post as to my cooking skills.

Just before Labor Day I tried making the no-bake cookies. I think initially I managed to heat up the liquid for too long, because it didn't properly saturate the oats. So I added some extra water. At first the cookies still seemed gloppy. So I heated the mixture again until the consistency seemed better. They turned out alright, very sweet.

I've also used the bread recipe twice.

In addition to the post as to my recent cooking adventure, I will have to put my recipe for banana bread/muffins on here soon.
