You Picked a Good Roomie When...

So do you want to know the ultimate test on knowing that you picked the right roommate? It's when you come home to this bad boy! An Apple Cobbler Cupcake from Crumbs! Apple Cinnamon Cake with Apple Preserves, and covered in a Vanilla Cream Cheese frosting and Streussel topping. Yummmm

 Ok so maybe that's not the ultimate test, but it does solidify the fact that when I move back to New York in 2 months I will miss having a roommate that shares my affinity for yummy food but doesn't go to school with me. It's quite refreshing actually. I feel that usually the only people who like exploring different bakeries and talking about food constantly are my friends I go to school with. But Jenny and I gab about food all of the time and I love it! 

 For dinner, I made Taco Pockets, which is like a burger and a taco all in one. My mom and I have been making this for years after seeing it on Rachel Ray a long time ago. It's quite simple to make even. You just take anything that you would top a taco with (cheese,lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream, taco sauce, etc) , make a burger patty, put them all in the center of a tortilla, and fold the outside corners into fours to create a square "pocket". Just put a little bit of butter in a pan, and place the pocket seams down into pan to seal everything inside. Cut diagonally into triangles and you have a taco pocket!

Work this week has been crazy because we are officially producing for our Christmas season. I am working on-site at parties Saturday and Sunday so no breaks for me until...who knows when! But I'm loving it and I actually just got moved into the chocolate room this week so I'm making all things chocolate. It's hard not to eat everything, it all looks and smells so yummy ;)
