It's gonna be fun :D
I made my afghan biscuits, packed them in twos to sell for a dollar. The rest of the food for sale is going to be cupcakes in the shape of sheep, since apparently there are a lot of sheep in New Zealand, and Ginger Ale. Since we clearly cannot sell Ginger Beer to High School Students. Dad kept buggering me about the cookies, asking if he could have some. I told him if there were any leftovers, then yeah. But I enjoy my recent cooking ramblings, I feel like cooking something this weekend. Oh, and Saturday I'm making something Asian with my mom so I can bring something to my friend's Disney Party. Its just going to be me and my closest friends watching Disney movies on Saturday, so I'll probably be cooking with my mom tomorrow night, Friday.
Yeah, I spend my Friday nights cooking with my mom. Wanna mess?

Why is it so hard to find good recipes on the interewebz?
So later tonight, I'm going over to my friend Kori's house for a potluck/ anti winter formal type thing. Me and my friends are going to watch movies and play Wii, and eat foods!
So being somewhat famouse for my baked goods, my friend Kori asked if I could bake something and bring it over for my potluck dish. And of course, I said yes. I have little time, so a chocolate cake mix out of the box will have to suffice. But I am going to spruce it up with a homemade frosting. Trying to find a recipe, I found a great website with many different kinds of frostings/icings. And for any beginners out there, I will establish the difference between frostings and icings.
Frostings generally are fluffy and used for cakes and the like, made of some sort of combination of sugar, eggs, butter, and/or milk.
Icings harden into a a shell-like consistency and are used for cookies like sugar Christmas ones, and are generally made of icing/confectioners sugar, and some liquid like milk, water, coffee for a coffee flavored icing, and some sort of flavoring like vanilla or almond essence.
So I looked in my fridge for butter. And we only have a tbls. of butter in the whole house. Not really expecting much from and Asian household. But we do have copious amounts of cream cheese for some reason (I think my mom was planning to make a peppermint bark cheesecake sometime ago), so I'm going to make a chocolate cupcake with blue tinted cream cheese frosting, decorated with blueberries. I think it should do fine. And I don't think any of my friends are allergic to blueberries. Then again, I could be wrong, like when I gave a lamington to one of my coconut-allergic friends. But let's not get into that...
