As the semester ends I find myself in a strange and unexpected situation. I need to get rid of as much food as I can before I make the trek back to Oregon. After a year of saving and skimping and not eating meat or salad dressing except for special occasions it is odd having square meals everyday. I'm making it through my frozen ground meat I bought at the beginning of the year on sale quite well, but I'm having a hard time with my flour and sugars. The solution? baking for any excuse possible. My FHE group is definitely getting the biggest benefit, they now have a treat every week--which are getting fancier every week (last week they were butterscotch brownies with vanilla glaze, the recipe with the most brown sugar in it). Though my roommates do enjoy alot. Saturday and Sunday alone i managed to pump out chocolate chip scones, a packed pizza (no cheese but still divine with my favorite topping--spinach), and an apple pie. The scones and pizza were delicious (not to brag but its not hard to make a baked good delicious) but my pie was sub par. The crust was similar to a cracker, all thin and crispy on the top, I was disappointed and could not be consoled. Nevertheless between our neighbors and me we have eaten the pie, and enjoyed it too. Next up? cinnamon rolls, with extra frosting considering i have like half a bag of powdered sugar. If you stop by #73 this weekend you might just get a baked good.
maybe..

All of that sounds delicious right now! Luckily I live only about 20 minutes aways so whatever I don't eat I can just take home and I'm absolutely positive that my five brothers will chow it all up! haha:)
I totally know what it is like to make a sub-par pie. Recently i tried making a homeade cherry pie out of cherries off my grandma's cherry tree, so it was going to be 100% homeade. Well, i accidently doubled the sugar, and after it melted in the oven it became a cherry pie soup. I was devestated.
i know how this is. My sister is going to get a bunch of good food that i have left over when i leave. I can only eat so many oatmeal meals before I just give up.
My this is exciting. I think I need to come to your house! At my apartment it is just the opposite! We have no food, and dont want to buy anymore because the semesters almost over. My roommates eat a lot.
Congrats on your success with the cinnamon rolls! They seem to be an exact science...making sure that there's enough icing, that it's not too dry and such. It's nice that you have roomates that will gobble up your treats, my roomies eat like birds and it drives me crazzyy!
I've made the drastic mistake of reading this entry on Fast Sunday, and as soon as I am done typing will clasp my desk so as to keep me from attacking my cupboard. You temptress. :)
Yeah, I need to get rid of my food too. I ate so much on Sunday just to empty my cupboards a bit.
