Make

These #reverb10 prompts are starting to make me feel like a Yo Gabba Gabba episode. You know what I mean.

What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? (author: Gretchen Rubin)

The last thing I made was shortbread. In fact, it is still cooking. When it is done cooking I am going to sprinkle Skor bits on top and I am hopeful that this will be the most fucking delicious thing ever consumed. The other day I wrote about shortbread on my facebook page and my cousin said, “with Skor bits on top?” and I was all, what? What what? Then I was at Superstore today getting groceries and while Fresco was busy taking off his socks to check for dirt between his toes, I saw that in fact there are packets of Skor bits in the baking isle! WHAT WHAT! So I bought some. I don’t know how much they cost, maybe it was $20, I don’t care, toffee is awesome.

So for the shortbread, I used:

1 cup of butter
1 cup of flour
1 cup of cornstarch
half a cup of icing sugar
pinch of salt
sploosh of vanilla

I am baking it for 25 minutes at 325 degrees.

Is there anything I would make if I had the time?

I would knit my own socks. I don’t know how to knit and I know from the people around me that it is a rather consuming hobby and potentially pricey as well but since we’re wishing. Socks.

Mostly what I make is food. And sweet love. And gin and tonics.

But you should go read Jen’s entry because she makes, like, LOTS of things and then go read Arwen’s because she made a skipping song!
