Who Do I Truss? ME THATS WHO!

Two Posts today, but I couldn't resist.. At school today we "took the cap off" a roast..after the TA demonstrated, I ask if I could do it.. then I trussed it (photo not the one I trimmed) which really means tie it up with twine. Me being the clown I am, when someone said "oooh u trussed it" I started saying who do I truss? me dats who" After I trussed it, we seared it and roasted it.. then I wanted to carve it, but it will be used for sandwiches..

the end I tasted was good though..

TWD: Malted Whopper cookies.. AKA "I love you mommy!"

This weeks recipe was chosen by Rachel of Confessions Of A Tangerine tart

I read the recipe again, more than once.. I am so getting better at this.. While I was making these cookies, EJ comes up to me and said "I love you mommy.. you know why?" I said why EJ.. "because I love your baking" he replied with a sheepish grin. THEN he ask me to lick the beater.. I know him to well, so I knew it was coming..


Ok, back to the recipe. I used to LOVE ovaltine, when I was in kindergarten, living on Pierce and Eddy in San Francisco, ummm hmm after school ovaltine was da bomb.. OK, so I went to the store and got the ovaltine and the bittersweet chocolate, fussed at the kids, for arguing who was gonna! ask hubby to bring whoppers so I can make the cookies,and he brings me milk duds.. I won't complain, milk duds are like my favorite chocolate candy aside from whatchamacallit, 100 grand, Reese's. Did I mention the I prefer fruity candy? (more specifically tropical Starburst). OK I digress, so I made the cookies after a dinner of crab and artichoke twice baked potatoes. And I promised that they would get to have one before they went to bed.

I wasn't sure I would like them, because chocolate is not my fave thing, but OH MY GOSH.. I ate at least 4! (4 is the magic number for me, look at my eclair post.)
