Sweet Potato Pie

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-potato-pie-i/

I was excited while baking this. ^^ The comment on allrecipes were raving how yummy it was. I took into consideration the tips they suggested.

I modified the recipe a bit...
I bought the pumpkin pie spice instead. I wasn't sure how much I should use, but I figure 1/2 + 1/2 nutmeg and cinnamon equals to 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. My dad needs to watch his blood sugar, so I used less than 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I worried about my vanilla extract because my parents turn off the fridge when they went to China. So I tasted the vanilla extract, it tasted a bit acidic and bitter almost like rum or beer. I didn't know what it is supposed to taste like so I omitted that from pie filling. My pie filling was a bit runny, and I felt like it wouldn't set when baked so I mixed in 1 tablespoon of flour. Know I think I should add another tablespoon of flour....

Need:
1 large sweet potato
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Need To:
Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.

Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

Chocolate Peanut-Butter No Bake Cookies

I made this. I really wanted something chewy like a cookie when I made this. Then I realized we were out of eggs! I didn't have a car and it was cold out, not going to ride the bus.

I had to improvise in some of the items. I used only half of the items. I did need to each a bunch of them. I didn't have vanilla, so thrown that out of the needs. I used hot chocolate cocoa powder, that was what I had. I thought we didn't have butter either and I was going to sub it with olive oil but found a same container of butter. This was really easy and quick recipe to make.

Taste: I enjoyed the few first bite, I could taste the peanut butter, but then it became too sweet to my liking. I loved the texture the oatmeal add to it.

Need:
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal
Waxed paper

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute then add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls, until cooled and hardened.

Last day of class!

This is a bit late but this was my spring 13 class. Well I was worried about my final portfolio for english but I passed with flying colors and even submitted it to the writing contest, never heard about the result though. I don't remember which chemistry class I took the fall 12 or spring 13 where I had a cold while taking the final exam...
This is my current fall class and today was the last day of class! I'm been busy doing the last assignments due on monday. It is horrendous. Even though this fall schedule looks neatly order and it is not easy as last year. This year there was sooo much reading I have to do especially for history and lgbt, required 3 books. I'm a very get-your-homework-done-early but I just couldn't read all the readings I had to read. It was just too much. And this year I took 16cr. The postive aspect for some of my classes it that there is NO final exam for lgbt or ap1, so happy about, but there is a 8 pager paper for lgbt the catch is to use primary resources using archive and special collection in the library but can't check the sources out, which is inconvenient and a take home assignment for ap1, which is also no fun, good thing I'm working in a group or else I would be stressed out this weekend, there due on monday and I have a exam on monday too.

I am so happy that I got by ap1 and its over... not, I have to take ap2 next semester :(, but the professor I chose is liked by student=good at teaching :).

The nursing classes are no joke. We had to read 25 ch, take 23 quizzes, take 2 test that covers like 6 chapters or so.
