MASSIVE FAIL

Mmmm...the smell of fresh baked cookies. OR THE SMELL OF BURNED POO.

Chocolate chips
Flour
Brown sugar
2 eggs
Salt
Oil

I attempted to make classic chocolate chip cookies using the recipe on the bag of chocolate chips. However, I did not have butter, vanilla, white sugar, or baking powder, nor did I measure anything. I substituted oil for butter, which didn't really work. The cookies did not flatten out at all. They got super burned on the bottom. Basically, they look like burned macaroons. Which might be a success, because they taste a lot like macaroons sans coconut. Actually, that does not mean I succeeded. It just means that macaroons suck.

Really basic stew

1 can mushroom soup
Water
Potatoes
Onion
Celery
Carrots
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Plenty of rosemary
Cumin
Cayenne
Thyme I think
Goat or gorg. cheese

Put it all in a pot, stew it up! Pretty simple, ended up delicious if a little boring.

Beer Cheese Soup--all on my own

Ok, fans, so I made three things recently, to mixed success. Here's the first, made on Saturday night.

Cheese (cheddar, gorgonzola, swiss, goat)
Chicken Broth
Negro Medelo
Onions
Carrots
Celery
Flour
Worcester
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
Oil

I made the meer pois, then I put WAY too much chicken broth in, followed by the rest, so it was absurdly runny, so I just added a ton of cheese and flour. It kind of sucked. But not that bad. As leftovers, excellent however. Somehow it thickened over time. I still need Hillary, clearly.
