This silk started out plain white and I dyed it using Dharma Trading Procion MX dye in teal blue. I learned a lot and kinda freaked out that I wasn’t safe enough although I have stopped freaking out and I think I was and I will just make doubly sure to clean the whole kitchen…
Sometimes they even put it in the food. 🙂
I’ve been wanting to make bolognese sauce ever since I saw it on notmartha. I found a recipe on Allrecipes. (Allrecipes rocks.) Specifically this recipe. I left out the whole bacon part but it was still quite good and I would make it again. I would leave out the carrots next time because they were…

In my craziness, I thought, “hey, I’ll make some chocolate chip cookies as well.” This was silly. Although they tasted good. I used this recipe from Shelterrific which is supposed to be the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. In my opinion, it tasted very similar to Tollhouse. And my cookies came out super flat…
So you must understand how much I love marshmallows. I used the recipe which one my marshmallow off from Cooking for Engineers. For the bakesale, I made 4 different flavors in clockwise order from the top left: almond, peppermint, raspberry, and vanilla. They all came out wonderfully and fluffy.
