Ponies, Dancing, and A Little Bit of Food

So, my buddy [and fellow god-parent] Lance has decided on his Halloween costume for the year.

My Little Pony.

Apple Delight to be exact.

So, since my best friend is a super talented and famous [well she SHOULD be!] artist, he kindly asked her to paint his zentai suit with the little ‘tattoos’ on the pony. Oh yeah. I took pictures.

How awesome is that?! I can’t wait to see the final product.

Another thing that may or may not have happened was an impromptu dance party in the kitchen….

Kitchen Dance Party

Then, finally, there was the food.

Oh, the food. <3

Usually when I cook with Lance I tell him I want to help, and have him teach me. [Lance is an actual chef. Culinary school and all.] What I mean is, “You do all the work, while I blog and Facebook.”

Obviously.

But this time, I actually did have to help a little, since he was in a white spandex suit with wet paint.

I’m excellent at dicing potatoes, if I do say so myself. <3

I also learned some fun facts. Such as where the term “86 it” came from.

I’ll be guest blogging on Lance’s blog later with all the goods. So be sure to check it out. <3 Love y’all! And feel free to break out in a dance party at all times. I’ll never judge. <3

Katy Cooks! The Horror.

And you thought Halloween wasn’t for two more months!

Nope, the scares start early, I have been in the kitchen for the past two weeks, and thankfully no hospital visits have happened!

Okay, actually allow me to take this moment to give myself a virtual pat on the back. So far EVERYTHING (from meatballs to cake to lasagna to bread to pot roast) has been quite a success.

It all started when Shane (AKA best gift giver, ever) got me the greatest thing on planet Earth:

A Tiffany Blue Kitchenaid Mixer!

It came with a nifty little recipe book and I have put that to use! But last night’s dinner was Pot Roast and Homemade Bread.

I found this recipe in my Cooking Light magazine, and it turned out amazing. But I think the best part was cooking with Shane. Cooking is fun by yourself, but with someone you love, it’s plain amazing!!

Normally I don’t purchase bottled water, that’s a preparation in case Hurricane Irene does in fact make an appearance!

Before it went into the oven. I promise it looked more appealing afterwards! Though there were no pictures taken, since it took 3 hours to cook, and we were ravenous! :)

The bread may look a little haggard, but I promise you it was AAAAHHHHH-MAZING.

 

Also, please ignore my nasty hair. I promise I have washed it since… Haha.

Well, that’s all for now, folks.
