Cooking with Great Abandon: March 2009
http://greatabandon.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. I came across a link to an article about making "cheap" bulk breakfast burritos. For quick morning breakfast. But their cheap, although might be cheap by some standards, weren't by mine. The burritos on that site came to .72 cents a piece. I made 20 burritos that ended up being .37 cents a piece. So Friday after dinner I realized I had all the ingredients and why not make some up. 200 - 20 tortillas - I get tortillas from Sam's Club in a 36 pack (2 packs of 18). Total = $7.42.

Cooking with Great Abandon: Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Icing
http://greatabandon.blogspot.com/2009/05/pumpkin-cookies-with-maple-icing.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Icing. I had left over pumpkin from the Pie Pockets. The other day so I needed to make something to use up the rest. I love how these turned out. I make sour cream cookies that should turn out the same consistency but they never do in the altitude. So now I am going to compare recipes so that I can figure if there is anything I can change in the sour cream cookies to make them more rounded and cakey like the pumpkin. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 3 Bake ...

darby art & design: Tree Skirt and Owls
http://darbyart.blogspot.com/2009/11/tree-skirt-and-owls.html
Saturday, November 07, 2009. Tree Skirt and Owls. I love this tree skirt. It is from Crate and Barrel. It is a little expensive on Crate and Barrel - I think it would be less inexpensive to replicate and also easy to make. I also love these owls. Too So so cute! But not sure I could make them.
