Anna in the Kitchen

     This last week I have felt like making desserts in the kitchen. On Friday I felt like hot chocolate. The weather was still very hot. So when I found out you can make iced hot chocolate, well I latched on. Mom made hot chocolate from scratch because we were out of packs. Then I blended up ice in the blinder and topped it with dark chocolate ice cream and shaved dark chocolate bars.


     On Saturday I went with Dad to Costco to find supplies for Oreo cheesecake and to eat samples. All you do is bash up 16 Ores, mix in melted butter, and empty the gunk into the pan. In a blender, mix your cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and I think that was it.  We slightly over-mixed the liquids but it turned out okay. I even heated up some chocolate in a pan then used a spoon to smear a glob on a pan with parchment paper covering it. When stuck in the fridge, the chocolate cooled and I cut up the parchment paper and put them in a container until consumed with the cheesecake. The cheesecake only lasted three days.


     Then today I made cucumber sandwiches for snack. Lately I have been feeling like Christmas and playing Christmas songs on the piano. So I used the Christmas tree cookie cutter. From the shavings and the crust I made a giant christmas tree. I put green food coloring in the mayonnaise and cream cheese mixture. Then I used the cucumber, dill weed, and salt for the top.
