Someone here in craftgrrl posted a link to a pdf pattern for home-made Snuggies/Slankets/whatever called The Snuglet. After buying some fleece on Black Friday, I finally made one tonight. (With the help of my wonderful mother. I like sewing, but this does not mean I am good at it, and I had never attached sleeves before.)

I'm dying to bake something, but am currently lacking ingredients. I have flour, sugar, things like peanut butter/chocolate chips/fruit etc, but no baking soda or powder. Can you possibly recommend some recipes that don't require baking soda/powder? I know that it sounds silly, but I really want to bake, haha.

I hope that everyone had a fantastic holiday season. Kramer and I celebrated with my parents on Christmas Eve, then had a Festivus breakfast yesterday morning with his dad, his dad's girlfriend, and his sister. My parents gave Kramer and I tickets to Rome for our honeymoon and these awesome union suit pajamas (pictured are my brothers, Dane (19) and Wyatt (16), Kramer, and myself). My brothers also got me the Tracy Morgan autobiography, I Am The New Black, which I'm really excited to read! Kramer's dad (check out his golfing blog, Journey to St. Andrews) got me a bread-maker (which I will be putting to good use very soon) and a pasta roller attachment for my KitchenAid mixer! You can all thank him for the inevitable carb-o-loading you'll soon be witnessing on here.
When I originally found this recipe, it was advertised as a recipe for buttermilk brownies. Interesting, I thought, I've never seen a brownie recipe that used buttermilk before. That's probably because this recipe ended up being for cake and not for brownies. As I added the flour into the wet mixture, I knew it was much, much too thin to ever be brownie batter. No matter, though, because there's nothing wrong with rich, moist chocolate cake! The buttermilk made a big difference in the texture and taste of this cake. It was so tender and the crumb sticks perfectly together while still being light, fluffy, and delicate. The frosting is ridiculously simple and is as good as it is easy to make. If you need something quick to whip up for a New Year's party, this is the thing! Just slice into small bites and place in muffin liners for clean, easy snacking. If you haven't had a fantastic piece of chocolate cake in a while, let me help you out: make this today! Recipe after the cut or on my blog at The Crepes of Wrath.

This is one of my favorite quick and easy dinner options: Taco Stuffed Crescent Rolls. You can bake them with Pillsbury (or generic) big and buttery crescents, or use leftover yeast roll dough. They're stuffed with a creamy, gooey, cheesy, spicy, meaty mixture and topped with toasted cheddar. Even more delicious than the sum of their parts!

I am not lucky enough to have a decent local fabric store. What are your favorite online sources for fabric? I'm not having too much luck with google. I'm particularly interested in jerseys and lurex, but am happy with any ideas. Ebay is fine, too!
Thanks!
Thanks!

With new years coming and left over Puff Pastry from Christmas I am looking for a dessert to make with it. I cannot think of anything to make, and the crowd there will be a lot of kids and "picky" eaters, the like "normal" foods sadly. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Thank you!

New Year's Eve is coming in two days. My friends and I are hosting a full-blown party for the occassion. The main host (the house owner) is dealing with all the food including a roast chicken :9. I'm in charge of dessert (hallelujah!) and cocktails.
I'll be making an awesome chocolate cake with oreo cream cheese, which I made for her birthday. (can be seen in this shitty picture here). Anyhow, I'll be attempting to make a combination of Apple, Blueberry and Cranberry Crumble and in need of a really good no fuss custard sauce. The tricky part is....not to use those vile powdered stuff. Any recs?
Also, what other dessert that requires minimum prep, which is also good as party snacks? Ideas are most welcomed! Thanks!
