Update

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I haven't had a lot of time to cook, let alone blog. Over Thanksgiving break I made my Indian dinner for eight. Fun! I also made hummus and pita last night for history. We had a big Middle Eastern thing and we had to bring in food. I also brought in a pomegranate tea that tasted like gross bananas in hot water.

Chocolates, Cake, and Naan

On Saturday, we had a mother-daughter karaoke party. My friend, Rebecca, and I made a cake, chocolates, and I made the old hummus and naan.

Indian

Hi! Tonight I made an Indian dinner. We had Tandoori chicken kabobs, naan, hummus, and basmati rice that my mom made. Except for the rice, the recipes were all on http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Main.aspx. It was better than the Chinese food. Dad and I found a cool little Indian supermarket in Sunnyvale. We also bought pistachio cookies for dessert, but the food was really filling.

Hi. I finally got the pictures of the kung pao chicken!

Peppermint Fudge Pie

Last night we went to our friends' house for dinner. I was going to make one of the two desserts I still need to make in the NYTC, but I decided that creme brulee would be a little difficult if I had to present it in front of others. I made a peppermint fudge pie from allrecipes.com that turned out tasting great and looking like a reindeer threw up in a chocolate pie crust. It was pink and all the marshmallows floated to the top. At least it tasted a lot better than it looked!

Chinese Night

Hello again! I'm finally back from vacation and already cooking. I made Kung Pao chicken last night. It was really good. We also made rice, stir fried green beans, and egg rolls. It's a good thing that Carrie was at a sleepover, because I got burned and accidentally put too many peppers in. I get to have leftovers tonight.
