Cookies for International Day

Tomorrow is International Day....And at PGHS, we are finally celebrating it. lol So, each foreign language teacher and the ESL teacher are having a booth that have finger food type things from one of the countries that our school represents (meaning, we have students from those countries). My Spanish 2 teacher has Mexico. So, we are making Mexican cookies. Since Mexico gave us chocolate, the cookies we were told to make have chocolate in them. We were given the choice of 3 different cookies to make and we were told to make them in groups of 2 or 3 people in each group. I made the Aztec Chocolate cookies and Alaina and I are in the same group. She had to babysit tonight tho, so she couldn't help me make them. Oh well. :) lol I'll put the recipe at the bottom for anybody who wants to try some. We haven't eaten any yet, but once they are cooled down, I'll cut them and split one with Shannon. :)


The cookies BEFORE we put them into the oven. Yes, I know. They look more like brownies than cookies. That is what the recipe told us to do tho.


After we took them out the first time....


Shannon checking to see if they were done the second time we took them out....


The third and final time we took them out. :) I checked them myself with the toothpick. lol


Me...The happy "baker" that I am. LOL
Shannon helped me ALOT when I was making these. So, I can't take all the credit. lol
I'll put the recipe in another post...Don't wanna make this one too long. :)

DIG 18

Here is my Day in Grace for day 18. For the most part, today was a good day. :)

1) Today Collin and I celebrated being together for 6 months :) He took me out to Applebee's tonight for dinner. It was so great to spend time with him on our 6 months. :)

2) My ex boyfriend took me and my sister out to lunch today. Picked us up, paid for lunch, gave me a chocolate bunny (his from Easter lol) and then took us home in enough time so we didn't get in trouble.

3) I got to talk to my best friend even tho she is grounded. Her mom realized I really needed to talk to Rachael, so she texted Rach and said that she could talk to me on the phone. Rachael texted me, and I was able to tell her everything that I needed to finally. Hopefully Jenn lets Rach keep her phone now!! :)

4) I know of many people who I can trust with things. And they mean the world to me cuz I know they won't tell my secrets <3

5) This is an odd one, but here it is: I was so stressed out today that I cleaned the kitchen....Meaning, the counters got scrubbed, the floor got Swiffered, and the stove got wiped down too. When I get stressed, I clean the kitchen. I did that at my dad's house over the summer a few times. Both when I was stressed and when I got bored. But cleaning the kitchen helped me think alot of things out, so it really did help me out. And it also made my mom happy. :) Which is always a good thing. LOL
