Year of the Tiger

Hello! Happy Chinese New Year! Oh... and Happy Valentines Day for all you LoveBirds!

I decided to try something new out that I saw on another blog, and it was fitting for today.... Fortune Cookies!

I loooove Fortune Cookies, but not necessarily for the cookie. I love opening up the cookie to find out what that tiny piece of paper has to tell me. Unfortunately today, my brain wasn't being too creative and I didn't come up with any good fortunes to put in besides Happy Valentines Day and Happy Chinese New Year. But, since this was just my test run, I promise there will be much better fortunes next time :)

These cookies definitely take practice and you can only do like three at a time, but they were fun to do! If I had chocolate, I would have dipped them and made them pretty too.

It's a thin batter and just a teaspoon per cookie.

Looks like pancakes! Luckily, they only bake for about 5
minutes so even though you can only do a couple, it goes fast.

My boring fortunes!

And.... my awesome fortune cookies! Not too bad for my
first time I think! (I messed up a couple so I did a
taste test, and they actually taste good too! ha)

No work tomorrow thanks to the Presidents! So I'm baking a chocolate cake for someone's birthday :) I'm sure you'll get to see pictures of it if it turns out as planned. Now it's time for some Sushi! My dad is taking me and my mom out, perhaps they didn't want me to sit at home alone on this Hallmark holiday?! Hey...fine with me! Sushi and sake makes me happy! Hope you all have a great rest of the day!
