haven't been doing anything at all useful lately...
jake made chocolate cupcakes the other day. the peanut butter frosting that he made for them might be the best thing in my life,ever.
no real plans for anything productive...the only things that i have 'gotten done' lately,include everything involved in christmas-ing.
we got another(cross fingers that the cats won't kill this one) living christmas tree. yes,christmas trees make me happy. especially when they're potentially forever,as opposed to killing one every year. it's less tall than last year's so maybe the cats won't knock it iver,though,they've already started to unwrap mom's and stan's christmas gifts. oops.

they say it's christmas
i made actual ginger-snaps tonight,as opposed to the gigantic ginger cookies that our company that we had in pdx made/makes...it's a pretty big surprise for my mouth to have them be so snappy.
i also made 'butter-cream' frosting for them...it would have bee 100% better had i had food coloring;they would have been actually decorated,instead of just overly-frosted. either way,they're delicious and sugar-coma-inducing.
made an ice-cream sandwich with 2 ginger snaps, the remaining chocolate made with coconut milk-ice cream (new and delicious from purely decadent) and all covered in frosting. jake and i are unbelievably gross.
ginger snap
cookie dough
3 c flour
1/4 t salt
1 t baking soda
2 t ginger
1 t cinn.
1/4 tnutmeg
1/4 t clove
1/2 c non-dairy butter
3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 t egg replacer
2/3 c molasses
2 T water
buttercream frosting
1/2 c non-dairy butter
2 c confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 t vanilla
2 T milk(non-dairy,duh)
in actuality, this is far too much frosting for the the amount of cookies, but in real life,jake eats at least 2 tablespoons of it and you can never have too much sugar-y goodness,right? so yeah,if i were to go at this project again, i would half the frosting recipe...so as to not be forced into frosting eating,which doesn't sound so so terrible,but might be the reason for the involuntary trembling that i am beginning to feel.
