An Epic Epicurean Evening

There is much to blog about beyond last night, BUT....for now.....

I am currently dog sitting at the house of an administrator at Macalester. She has an AMAZING spice cabinet.

Jamila is out of town and Bimbola and I have been experimenting with different meals (one night we made cream cheese wontons, another night nachos, etc). This evening we decided to make a casserole. Recipe: http://southernfood.about.com/od/chickencasseroles/r/r81116i.htm It was basically a glorified mac & cheese but it was classy and delicious and worth the work! I was so hungry when it was ready and I loved it!

Then, our friend Angelina came over. She's a vegan, and she helped us make this vegan sugar cookie base. Lisa, the owner of the house, has a bunch of great cookie recipe books but we used the spice rack as inspiration. My favorite cookie combos were: orange peel + chocolate chip, lemon peel + rosemary + sugar, garam masala + white pepper + lemon peel, candied ginger + orangle peel + chocolate chips. It was so fun! I had never experienced with spices in cookies before, but it was super delicious!

I will blog more soon!
