Comfort Food

Call me crazy, but this is one of the things that brings me comfort in this world:
Bread and Milk.
First, make homemade bread and then cut it into slices, ripping it into a bowl.

Second, pour milk over the top as if it were cereal.

Third, sprinkle sugar on top.

Fourth, ENJOY :)

Happy happy Jane indeed!

 

Creamed Corn

Creamed corn is probably one of the most evil things you will ever find packaged in a can.. besides spam and spinach. It's all just so wrong.

In my quest tonight to put together some semblance of an eatable meal in a small amount of time, I grabbed a can of innocent looking corn off the shelf. all was well until I opened it up and it started oozing..evil. the can oozed evil. and gloopy white stuff. That's what evil looks like in it's raw form.

Cream. should be creamy. corn should be corny. corn should not be creamy, nor cream corny.

Its just how the world works ok?

It reminds me of that one time when my tupperware of canned corn got moved to another roomates shelf and lost for a few weeks, until it was discovered.

it was creamy. 

and the cream was moving...

yum.

So basically, I am convinced it is really just corn that didn't get canned soon enough.

as soon as it starts becoming a microbial hangout, they swap out the label and add a tiny "creamed style" to the top, that will surely be looked over twice. once at the grocery store, and once at home.

 I am to busy to read stuff you know?!

Sneaky sneaky...

Ps. I found seven four leaf clovers tonight in the space of about two minutes. I think that makes me double lucky. Just not lucky enough to grab the nice corn.

The Sister Date.

Today I was bored. And so was Emmie, my sister. We were pinteresting and found this recipe. 

"Oreo cheesecake cupcakes?!?!" We said. "Heck yes!!"

So we embarked to Ridley's to get oreos and then got started!

The Process:

 

(From the top left): Oreos in the base of cupcake liners. MOUNDS of cream cheese. Adding sour cream. Mixing them together. The oh-so-important sugar. Can't forget the salt! Eggs. REAL vanilla. Oreos in the blender. Blended oreos. Putting the cupcakes in the oven. Side photo of finished process.

(Middle): THE FINISHED THING!!!

The sisters:

(From the top right down): Me, in all my glory, struggling with the mixer. Emmie, dumping mounds of cream cheese in the bowl. Emmie, mixing the oreo bits in. The popcorn we ate as we waited for them to cook. Eric, Lucy, Petey and Emmie, watching Phineas and Ferb while we waited some more.

(Middle): Me and Emmie, after consuming the cupcakes. Happy happy girls are we!

 Of course, we didn't do this alone. As I mentioned, I was having issues with the mixer...so we recruited our Dad to assist us in the matter. Aren't dads wonderful? I say yes.

But try these. They are wonderful.

Off to watch Ramona and Beezus with Em.

Bake on, my friends.
