My Thanksgiving

I made these cute Thanksgiving themed cupcakes last Thursday for the big holiday. 
 And they were a huge hit.  Everyone was taking pictures of and with them and adding them to social networking sites instantly.  They were so adorable and a real lot of fun to make.
Here's how I did it:
Corn on the Cob:  Yellow frosting, and all different colors and shades of white, yellow, and orange Jelly Beans.
Peas and Carrots:  Green frosting, green jelly beans (or green M&M's, I also used these) and cut up orange Starbursts.
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy: White frosting, caramel (I used coffee flavored!), and a yellow Starburst to look like a slab of butter.
Turkey Leg:  Chocolate frosting, crushed graham crackers (they taste WAY better then Bran Flakes, even though the Bran Flakes look more realistic!), and melted white chocolate I squeezed onto parchment paper and then froze.
Pudding:  Chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles!
I hope this helps!  If anyone decides to make these send me your pictures, I'd love to see how they came out!  :3

Breaking Bad: Homemade Rock Candy Recipe

Homemade Rock Candy, you will need: 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup light corn syrup 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons flavoring extract blue gel food coloring candy thermometer Instructions: Line sheet pan with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray/spray butter. In a saucepan combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring.  Insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 285°F on the thermometer. Do not overcook it, or it will start to take on a caramel color. Once at 285°F, take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a few moments, until bubbles stop breaking on the surface. Add the flavoring, I used raspberry extract and food coloring, I used Neon blue by McCormick, and stir everything together. Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet; tilt the sheet pan back and fo...

The Yellow Wallpaper

Vinci 1 Victoria Vinci English 102 Professor Jones March 21, 2016 The Yellow Wallpaper             In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman the narrator claims to have given birth, but isn’t taking care of the baby, because her husband, John, wants her to rest.   John is a “physician of high standing” and he prescribed his wife rest treatment (308).   The treatment takes place in a large summer home, where John’s sister, Jennie, helps take care of the narrator when John isn’t around.   The narrator is confined to a room with bars over the windows, a bolted down bed, and yellow wallpaper that the narrator severely hates.   The narrator fixates on the wallpaper, even believing it gives off a smell.   She claims to see images within it.   The narrator believes to see women, in various situations like being caged and trapped, but claims the women escape during the d...

Turkey and Cranberry Meatloaf Recipe

I bought this retro cook book a while ago at a pretty unexpected place, Marshall's !  But it's one of the absolute best things I've ever bought there.  I've made a few recipes from this book, all recipes inspired by the 1950's and 60's, and so far they've all been great.   I've found that recipes back then were a bit simpler then some more modern day recipes.  Whether it was simpler ingredients or just simple instructions, they appear to be more straight forward.   Here's one recipe I made the other night for dinner, turkey and cranberry meatloaf. Ingredients: 10 slices of prosciutto 1 large onion 2 green scallions 2 cloves of garlic 1 1/2 pounded ground turkey 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 egg yolk 1/2 cup stale breadcrumbs 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley 1/2 cup homemade cranberry sauce 2 tablespoons orange juice Directions: Preheat oven to 400 F. Oil 6" by 8" loaf pan. ...
