Apologies for the lack of post in the last few months. Here's quick recap of the Rhino's Fall.
Late September- Live in the moment by running the Ragnar Relay... End up injured.
October- Spend most of the month believing I have a bruised bone in my foot...Change Facebook language to pirate "ARRR".... Bone Scan on footsie and small kitchen fire that afternoon..."Bruised" bone is really stress fractured cuboid bone (rare and retarded)..Computer hard drive FAIL...Complete first major grad school paper
November- Enjoy work "vacation" in NWL (figure that out non-govvie!!)....Roboboot= conversation piece...Conquer short ribs on a rainy Veteran's Day... Is this grad school thing supposed to be easy?....Why does my right foot still feel the same as it did two months ago?
December- The stationary bike hurts my butt...Oh geez, final paper...FYI- Your teeth still suck..Finish paper draft, Is it hot in here? No, I just have a fever (SLEEP 11 hours).. Nice, only a cold.. Edit paper..FINISH GRAD CLASS!!..Downgrade to black boot...Downgrade to SNEAKERS!!...EPIC FOOT OF SNOW!!
Now that I'm finished with the grad class, my blog can live again. So, this week for my work holiday party that I will miss (oh well) I made deviled eggs and to thank the unit I've been cross-training with for the last two months at work, I made these fancy-schmancy white chocolate, cranberry, macadamia nut cookies (I swapped cranberries for the recipe's candied cherries). I'm an ace at making deviled eggs and can't wait to tote them to work in my deviled egg caddy. That's right, a deviled egg caddy! How's that for a stylin' rhino? The cookie batter tasted delicious the day before, but my oven burned a good ten of my first baking batch. I blame my less than state-of-the-art oven and Paula Deen's faulty baking directions. Oh well, we'll see what the NARA folks think of them tomorrow ( :
Here a few pics from last couple of months of baking including Aaron Sanchez Mexican brownies with
Reese's Pieces to wow the cross training crew at their Halloween party, one of Jessika's super- delicious desserts, and Elizabeth's birthday cranberry-peach cobbler and frozen limeade pie (see my summer frozen lemonade pie and sub frozen lemonade for limeade). .
Stay tuned for holiday-themed food and fun featuring macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce, and my favorite sister and future brother-in-law ( :
