Lunar Festival, The Shepard’s Crown, Chocolate Trail Mix Lollipops
Hi All,
I just wanted to give everyone a quick life update about DEK. I’m think about doing weekly posts with recommendations, a status update, maybe some cool links? IDK, tell me what you think?
The Lunar Festival was Sunday night. Emily got me a moon cake to celebrate. (Here’s a little info about mooncakes.) :) She’s swamped with work this week, which is why she’s been a little MIA from DEK.
Dana is continuing to crush it. She is crazy prolific. She’s posting all the things.
Here’s a Halloween-themed meatloaf recipe. Emily has been trying several different recipes and hasn’t found her fav yet, so I threw this one at her. We haven’t tried it yet.
Here’s a TED talk about antibiotics that scared the bejesus out of me.
Here’s a guide to Halloween pompoms. Dana actually makes really adorable pompoms that I’m sure she’ll post a tutorial about later, but we’ve never made Halloween ones. …yet?
And here is an idea that I find extremely tempting. Make your own chocolate trail mix lollipops… whaaaaat? I’m so doing this.
Oh, and you know that 3 or 5 ingredient recipe craze that’s been going on? Yeah, it’s not a great idea. I’ve been trying recipes off this list and they all suck. Just saying’.
Lastly, here’s a list of general cooking tips that I wish I had known years ago. It’s simple but helpful.
Lastly, I just finished reading Terry Pratchett’s final novel, The Shepard’s Crown. Do yourself a favor and add it to your reading list. It’s not long, and it’s not even his best work, but it’s still an excellent novel, and the last installment of both the Discworld series and Tiffany Aching’s story.
Have a good humpday, guys!
Kelsey
XOXO
