thank you, Caitlin. because KK is not fitting. 

wonderful job on your first guest post. thanks for sharing "secrets". 

i'm amazed you thought of 10. 

Today is a beautiful day. There are no clouds. There is a tinge of bit in the air. I LOVE FALL!!

I bought some new cookie cutters about a month ago. Two in the shape of leaves and one in the shape of an acorn. I have been waiting to use them and I am hoping that tonight I will have the chance! I will def have to post pics if they turn out cute. 

Now, if only they could look like this...

Okay...confession. If you read the description of the blog, it was created to document the adventures in the kitchen. Do you see any kitchen adventures? Me either. Goal for this week/next post: Actually post a recipe. I have too many good ones and ones I want to try to hold them all to myself. 

That's all I wanted to say. I have to go to class now. Did I mention I am about to bust to be out for Thanksgiving break? Right. I am about to bust for Thanksgiving break. There. 

"For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!"

BFF Makes a Post....

So Laura wants the BFF to make a post. So here I go!

Hi all, my name is KK, not BFF. I am not really sure why Laura won't just say KK. I guess she thinks BFF is a way to keep me anonymous. I have obviously ruined it. I will preface this post with the fact that I am a terrible writer. If I could draw something for the blog, it not only would be much more enjoyable but also easier for me to accomplish. 

Laura said to write about anything so I guess I will delight the blogging world (well actually just Codi, because I think she is the only one who reads Laura's blog) on all the things most people don't know about Laura. Here is a top 10 list:

1. She is actually a very great writer. She should write more often.

2. She loves anything visual. Art, books, outside, etc. 

3. She hates to organize although she loves when her stuff is organized and easy to find.

4. She is hilariously exactly like her mother while still exactly like her father. Weirdest thing ever.

5. She is very picky about movies. It has to be really good to keep her attention.

6. I joke that she is actually 6 years old rather than 21.

7. Her second and third toes are webbed.

8. She likes it best when her hair is straight rather than her beautiful curls.

9. She hates picking out what clothes to wear for herself, but loves to pick out other people's clothes for them.

10. She is obsessed with birds.

I figured that readers would love the BFF insight to their favorite author. Next time is the top 10 list on Laura's most embarrassing moments.... That's if there is a next time.

Love, 

The BFF

Yes. I am a snob when it comes to food and believe that most anything is better when homemade. My friends and family will probably tell you the same thing. But i must say there is an exception....

"...happy days are here again..."

you know the holidays are coming when these little babies are set out on store shelves.

BFF and I went on a hunt for these right before Halloween because there is usually a pumpkin set. We only found ones in the shape of pumpkins that were dyed orange. We bought them, cooked them too long, and were completely disappointed. We were unconcerned however because we figured we could just run back to the store in a few days and get another box. Oh no. No no no. We looked all over this town and everywhere was sold out!!! To our dismay we had to return home empty-handed after a few trips to the store until FINALLY we found a box at Kroger the day before Halloween. They were perfect. 8 minutes is all they need to turn into gooey perfection. The best part is that they never harden, even after they cool. So naturally those were gone in about 2 days, we thought we wouldn't have anymore until Christmas time.

Think again!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Christmas shapes are in a store near you!

I have already enjoyed two reindeer faces this afternoon. Probably one or two more before I finally make it to bed.

I don't think you understand how much I absolutely love. LOVE. LOVE. these cookies.
