Tomorrow will be my first day going back to class since...the 16th? Wow! Last week we only had two days of school because of Thanksgiving, but I got sick and missed those two days. So it's been a nice long break. I'm ready to go in, do work, and go homeeeeeeeeee.
So what did I do for that long break?
I made these Snickerdoodle Blondies
They were pretty good! I think the cinnamon makes them a little more holiday-ish than regular brownies. I always read reviews before I make something then alter the recipe a bit if it sounds like it needs help. So for this recipe I lowered the amount of brown sugar to 1.5 C (packed). And for the topping I used more than just a "pinch" of turbinado sugar. I used like 1 Tbsp or more.
I also finally made Sharpie Mugs! This stuff is alllllll over pinterest. I thought this would be a cheap and entertaining thing to do. So I dragged my sick nastiness out to Walmart (classy times) to pick up some:
*Sharpies (I got a colored multi-pack, I just really like Sharpies)
*A few plain white mugs
That's really all you need.
But I read about this project online a bit before I actually did it. There are rumors that this is a "crafting myth" or something...crazy people doin' crafts wrong yo! Someone sounded promising when they said to turn the heat up to 450 degrees instead of 350. I guess the ink will smear or rub off when you wash your mugs. So I did that. Also, f you use color, the colors will fade! I was kind of sad about that. But I think the turquoise blue color looked good and the dark dark pink. The other colors are too light and fade a lot...but try it out and see how it works for you. Maybe my oven is weird. Also, some people said to use special ceramic paint pens. I'm sure those would work a lot better than Sharpies...but I'm ghetto and I like Sharpies...so Sharpies worked for me, they can work for you, too! Yup yup so that's what I have to say about that project. Go try it out! It's Christmas season people! Make mugs for your friends, family, co-workers, maybe a Sharpie-ed dog dish for your dog? Yeah! Oh, and make sure to handwash...that's the only real bummer about this one.
