I’m going to let y’all in on a secret. I love coffee . Okay, so it’s probably not THAT big of a secret, but I have seemingly developed what is probably an unhealthy obsession with coffee.  And I’m not particularly picky when it comes to type, either.  I love iced coffee, regular freshly brewed hot coffee, cold brews, lattes, flavored coffee... Told you it was an obsession. And this has been a great week for coffee lovers, what with National Coffee Day on September 29th, and International Coffee Day, which is today! While I did celebrate both days by enjoying my favorites, today I wanted to share a new coffee confection I recently experimented with.  Awhile back, I saw a video posted by some YouTubers in Japan about coffee jelly.  Apparently it is (or was, since this was some time back) a big thing overseas, and when I first saw the video and recipe, I was intrigued.  I thought I might try making it ‘one day’.   Fast forward a bit to more recently, and ...

How's quarantine and/or social distancing going, friends?  I've been spending more time at home, which has been good for my bank account (except for that whole online shopping thing).  I've spent them majority of my time reading, crocheting, catching up on my extensive Netflix list, and spending inordinate amounts of time on my Animal Crossing island.  That game is seriously addicting. One other thing I've done during my time at home is to make what my family has dubbed 'abomination cookies'.  These are essentially two/three ingredient cookies, with one of the ingredients being bananas, which my younger brother hates , hence the moniker 'abomination cookies', since he often refers to bananas as abominations.   However, these cookies are delicious  and I've made probably six batches of them so far.  We had a couple bananas that were overripe, and so I typed "what to do with overripe bananas" into Google, and this recipe  came up.   I...

A friend of mine was describing this drink to me, and since I am all about orange sherbet and orange soda, I decided to give it a try! Here's what I did, in case you should care to try this on your own! (This is as close to actual cooking as I'll probably ever come, just so you know!) Step One: Scoop orange sherbet into glass. I didn't measure or anything fancy. I just scooped it in until the glass was partially full. Oh, and this was the Wal-Mart brand sherbet too. I'm cheap like that. Step Two: Pour in orange soda. I used Crush, as it's my favorite and the one my friend said to use, but I don't suppose it would really matter what brand you used. Again, I didn't measure, but just poured until the glass was full. (And I prayed I would not drop the bottle while I was pouring and trying to take a picture. That part is optional, I guess.) Step Three: Fiiiiiiiiizzzy. Step Four: Stick a straw in, and enjoy! :D I have to say, it was REALLY g...
