Kitchen Update of the Day

So I mentioned a couple weeks back that we have attained a crock-pot. I also promised I would inform you of how our first endeavor turned out. However, I cannot yet give you that information, seeing as how we have not yet used the crock-pot. This must be changed!

Another Kitchen-Note is that today, after waking up at 6:58pm from an afternoon siesta, I decided to make brigadeiro. This is a Brazilian dessert that knocks the socks off, and I highly recommend it to the Peniston-crowd, who I suspect is following this blog. Anywho, the brigadeiro are supposed to look like this:

YUM-O!

You can learn how to make it at:

The narrator is Brazilian, I can tell from her adorable accent, and I think you'll enjoy her company as well. The quality of the clip is quite awful for about 5 seconds in the beginning, but don't be discouraged, because it clears up.

As far as my brigadeiro went, they are now in the freezer. I rolled them in coconut and powdered sugar instead of the mainstream chocolate sprinkles. I hope you try to make them yourselves! Maybe we can have a brigadeiro party sometime!

P.S. I'm making peanut butter cookies tomorrow (Wednesday) with my mother, I hope, and I'm really excited about it.

:D
