Isn't that just wrong? Absolutely and completely terrifyingly wrong? It is of course why it had to be done. I stumbled across a recipe for Mountain Dew Jelly while searching for something else. I immediately shared it on a social networking site and my wonderful friends being who they are asked if I wanted to come over and make some. My friends are awesome! We made two separate pots of jelly so we added green food coloring to one hence the different colors. It actually doesn't taste horrible. I am not quite sure what you would eat it with, but that really wasn't the point. I think I might try root beer or cherry coke next.
What else has been going on since I last wrote...Well I had my first LARP experience in early November. It was unbelievably cool and I am actually traveling to Chicago tomorrow for another one (different designers).
There hasn't been much on the crafting front. We finally found bookshelves to suit our purposes and so much have my time has been spent unpacking. We have only two boxes left and if I am lucky those should be mostly dealt with this afternoon. Hooray for being moved in to our wonderful new home.
I did a lot of playing around with recipes from the Artisan Bread cookbook. Not all successes but some good experiments.
We are having a party on New Years day so I have been playing with recipes for that. I just made some roasted red pepper hummus as well as some edamame hummus (soy beans replace the traditional garbanzo beans). I bought a small food processor (I don't like them in general because of the noise but I thought it might be handy to have a small one around) last year and thought this was a good excuse to play. They didn't turn out too badly though I don't think I am a hummus convert as of yet. The second recipe came from one of the cookbooks I got for Christmas that is written by the local agricultural society. There are all sorts of neat things in this cookbook and I am actually going to make the orzo stuffed peppers for dinner tonight. Wish me luck. I also got a fondue pot and I am disturbingly excited to play with that as well. Inaugural melty goodness this weekend.
I have been home this week and it has been so wonderful to get more time to make meals. I made vanilla belgian waffles with strawberries and chocolate coffee this morning. There is a small part of me that wishes I could stay home and cook all the time.

Mountain Dew tends to make me sick, but all of a sudden I'm thinking I might want to try making this glowing Chernobyl jelly. :P
Nice site! :)
