inception cookies.

a buddy of mine made a comment to me a couple of weeks ago about how she wanted cookies. leave it to me to make a mental note of that. I'm big on surprises so I wanted to make her something that would make her go "holy shit", and I was trolling tablespoon.com one day (which is one of my favorite things to do) when I stumbled upon this recipe for oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies. yeah, an oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookie...a cookie within a cookie...an inception cookie. an inception cookie seemed like the perfect thing to make for someone to surprise them at their job so I said let's do it!

can I just say that I love the way creamed butter looks? I never really put that much thought in "creaming your butter and sugar", but I was watching some baking tutorials online and I saw the difference between just whisking it around and when you actually sit there for 2-3 minutes mixing. made me very happy. ^__^





the original recipe said 10 oz of chocolate chips but I could only find 12oz bags at  the store so I was like, "fuck that". seriously, you think anyone complains about extra chocolate chips? I didn't think so either.

I can't remember the last time I used an ice cream scoop for anything. I don't really do store-bought ice cream, and when I do have ice cream in my house it's because I made it myself, and if it's at that point then it's because I'm being a fat-ass and no ice cream scoop is required for that. I wanted to get these cookies right though so I found one. :D 





I made one for myself to see how it would come out. needless to say, I was very pleased haha.



here's a link to the inception cookies. btw, they're fucking huge. my friend loved them though so my sneaky baking tactic was worth it. I love baking and being in the kitchen in general doing women's work, but I never have anyone to make shit for a lot of the time. so it felt good to not only bake cookies, but I got to make them for someone special. win win, or is it an inception win: a win within a win?

I should be sleeping, but the internet distracted me.

so it's a little after 1 and my eyes are shutting but for some reason I was just pulled toward re-doing this blog thing and making it all cute and shit. I guess I feel like I could be a more productive person. I've got some ideas as far as what I want to do with it and I plan on tagging the shit out of this fucker so that all fifty of my profile views aren't just from me.. :3 anywho, guess I'll get started on this tomorrow when I have actual thoughts in my head. <3

okay, so I have this theory...

I have this theory..

I keep seeing the trailers for the new conan in 3D and 1.) I’m pissed because the original conan’s are fine. (I mean, he survived maria. come on!) 2.) that is one fuckin ugly conan. I am convinced that they took this man:


the great khali lending his acting talents.
 …added a little bit of that captain america CGI that they used to make chris evans tiny, and you get…

BAM! tiny great khali.
...this kid. I know your tricks, hollywood.
