Wednesday Wednesday

No photos of tonight's event; sorry! I'm making some of (again) the inimitable Deb's Caramel Crack, but the light in my apartment just isn't good enough for photos worth sharing. I marbled some white and dark chocolate over the top¹, though, and they're setting up nicely!

That said, here are some better shots of how the cookies I made yesterday actually turned out:

(Wow, I just noticed how ... um, repulsively suggestive that looks. Note to self: if you ever do this whole blogging thing seriously, try to avoid making your food look like ... well. That.)

ANYWAY (*shiftyeyes*) I made a simple glaze out of a cup of confectioner's sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice, then drizzled it over the lavender cookies. Amazing improvement! They are now among the best cookies I've made in recent memory, taste-wise (a little fragile and crumbly, but delicious).

And lo, the angels finally have something to sing about: 

Morning sunshine on green tea shortbread!

I did, however, create a pretty astonishing mess. Much of which miiiiiiiight have still been there this morning. 

Mmmm. Delicious, delicious chaos. 

OK, well, that's it for tonight. Tomorrow's going to be another small-scale evening; I'm going out with friends (to see some improv comedy, woo!), so my time for the daily dose of creativity will be limited. Still, catch y'all then!

 ¹This is in no way because I a) didn't have enough dark chocolate on hand or b) accidentally bought 85% because I like it, forgetting that my fondness for really bitter chocolate is not shared by the rest of the world. Nope.
