14 Days of Thankfulness-Day 5

So I had 2 idea's today. both were stolen by someone else. But that's ok. we can all be thankful for the same thing :)

Today I am very very thankful for chocolate. it's the most wonderful thing in the world. especially M&M's.

mmm :) soooo goooooodddd *drools*

the dark chocolate with coconut are my favorites, for sure.

14 Days of Thankfulness-Day 1

So I'm going to be doing this awesome thing were, for 14 days, you list something you're thankful for. And I got  this idea from no other then the amazing Miss Grace. I'm very excited :)
So today is the first day. I was planning on doing something totally really random but that I am very thankful for, but then I saw this.

my awesome cat Leo sleeping in my bed. And I would like to say that I am VERY thankful for him, because he is such a cutie, even if he does bite me when he wants to 'play'.

Now that that has been said... I'm going to post some pictures from yesterday. I meant to do it last night, but then other things came up. such as knitting, and catching up on my two favorite TV shows, Bones and Psych. annnywaaayyyy.... yesterday we made cookies, and it was lots of fun :)

CHOCOLATE!!!!

you know you want some! oh wait, sorry. I ate them all already. to bad :p

the amazing chefs who put so much time and effort into the deliciousness of those cookies.


Hope your Friday is an amazing one!

Pie is GOOD!

  So today I randomly decided to make a very delicious pie. because pie is good. and because this particular pie is the best kind of pie you can ever make. ever. It's called Toll House Pie and is pretty much a big chocolate chip cookie in a pie crust.

Here it is before being cooked.

 And here it is after!!! Yum!!!
Angel use to make this all the time and it was always my favorite! but then she left and got married and lives far, far away, and no one has bothered to make it since. But yesterday I had a sudden craving for it and decided it was time to make it again, so I did. And now I can't wait to eat it!


Here's the recipe for all you deprived people who now want pie.

Heidi's Toll House Pie

2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup of butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well)

In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Beat in flour and sugar until well blended. Add melted butter and blend. Stir in chips and nuts. Pour into unbaked 9-inch pie shell. Bake 1 hour at 325`. Serve warm with ice cream.



gah! it's so good! Hope you all get a chance to make and enjoy it!

these 10 things...

So my last post was a big hit. I got over 40 views (which is a lot for this lame little blog of mine) and a nice discussion that followed. this discussion is by no means over, so feel free to keep posting :)  and for real guys, thanks =)
but I thought I'd have this next post on a lighter topic. so I consulted with my good friend Plinky and they said that I should post 10 things that make me happy. After a long time of consideration i decided this was a good idea. So here I begin.

1) yarn. I know, I know... original. but it's true. very very true. yarn makes me very happy. the smell, the texture, the colors, ahhh.... it's just so wonderful! :')

2) shoes. same thing as yarn, they're just amazing. they're so stinking adorable and i love 'em very much and they can always make me happy. no matter what.

3) friends. I get very happy around friends. most of my friends tend to think of me as an overly happy person, believe me, I'm not. I just get really excited and happy around you guys.

4) Kids. they have this amazing ability of making me happy. the way they adore me, the way they think life is so simple and yet at the same time make the biggest deal out of tiny things. yeah, gotta love 'em.

5) Family. this is a weird one. because my family has this amazing ability of making me the biggest grump, and at the same time they can make me so happy. <3<3

6) books.  once again, the smell, the texture of the pages, the amazing story that's just waiting to be read. gah! i love books. a lot. especially really old copies that are super cool looking. they make me very happy!

7) inside jokes. they are the bomb. if you ever see me randomly laughing during the day when nothing funny is happening it's usually because i just remembered an amazing inside joke.

8) pajamas. life is a thousand times better when you're in them.

9) getting to drive. i always feel very happy behind the wheel. I'm sure this will pass.

10) funny words. like muscles. which should really be pronounced musicals. for real.

hope you all have an amazing weekend!
