Check out the video of me teaching my girl's to cook. 😊
Today, our Homeschool Cooking Class is brought to us by Paisley's love of sourdough! I found her these Brown Butter Sourdough Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Every cookie needs a drink to go with it, so after looking in our fridge and pantry, I came up with the Andes Mint Milkshakes.
I forgot I had put these cookies on our "sourdough" Pinterest board, so when Paisley saw them she was so excited. We set up the cameras, put on our aprons and grabbed all the ingredients. Only to realize we were out of flour, 😱 but we had cake flour, so we improvised. It worked, don't know if it effected then consistency because the dough was quiet thin and runny. Probably could have used more of the flour but I was shooting from the hip here. Amy did say to freeze the dough before baking but I don't thing that helped us much. Or maybe it was the fact that Paisley put huge scoops of the dough on the baking sheet. I think a combinations of things but we had huge cookies.
As I took screenshots of the video I laughed at myself, I mean there are many reason I laugh at myself but I watched as we used the tool I had gotten, wrong. 🤦🏻♀️ My mom told me about this app, Temu, where you can get products super cheap. It's a Chinese based company, but lets face it that's where 90% of products are made anyway. At least they aren't making stuff and selling it to the rest of the world at 75% mark up. Like this handy dandy egg separator. It separates the yoke from the whites, it was $1.18. Anyway we used the whites instead of the yoke. That could have been another reason the cookies were brittle and fell apart. I fell like we need to try again and this time I need to make sure we have everything.
Moving on to the milkshakes. What a treat, I looked in my fridge and pantry, pulled out a bunch of things and threw them in my blender and out came awesome. We had 1/3 carton of vanilla ice cream that had been in our freezer for who knows how long. Just enough milk. A brand new thing of Cool Whip. A little bit of chocolate sauce left. Mint extract and green food coloring from another recipe we did. Some Andes mints and edible sprinkles. I was like, I can work with all this. I'm sure glad I tried it. It turn out amazing!
It's nice to see my creative side didn't die from the stroke. Six parts of my brain died and yet I have my full memory. Expect for when the month the stroke happened, Sept 2021 and the month after, I have bits n pieces of things I remember. My husband say's it's probably better that way because it wasn't pretty. I have physical scars from how much they had to cut me open and drill into my body but it's mostly hidden. If you look close at my throat you can see the trachea scar. Pretty crazy a machine was making sure I was breathing for 3 1/2 months. Few come out on the other side of having one, hearing the sad stories while I was at the stoke rehab is a grim reality. The way my husbands navigated the waters of doctors advise, just makes me love him more. Although he saw the need for me to have the trachea, he didn't let them cut my skull open, to release swelling, like they told him to. In his mind, the risks out weighed the risks of just seeing what happened naturally. Either way he was told I'd have sever problems and sever disabilities, if I even lived. I try to remind myself when my disabilities are getting the better of me, that I'm a miracle.
