monday morning: things to try

So Blogger has been doing this cute little thing where it eats the comments I write. I want to, and do, respond to them but for some reason Blogger makes them dissapear! If anyone knows what to do about this, I'd appreciate it because I've tried to fix it and it has not worked.

Anyway, this weekend was filled to the brim with baking. I made some Bailey's chocolate cupcakes for a St. Patricks Day party and a enough cinnamon granola bars to last me the rest of the semester. Also involved was a huge pot of cauliflower soup, which is amazing and delicious, but I probably won't post here because I don't even know the recipe anymore...it got lost in my shuffle of moving between four different places this summer so I'm just kind of making it up at this point. The others will be coming soon, but until then here's a lovely little roundup of things from around the internet that I can't wait to try.

caramel corn from joy the baker I have never, ever gotten caramel to work...here's hoping someday it will happen.

maple syrup scones from 101 cookbooks Ok, so I did actually make these. In fact, I just ate two for breakfast...they're really good.

horchata rice pudding from brian boitano/food network I watched him make this on tv yesterday morning and boy, did it look awesome. Also, "What Would Brian Boitano Make?" is really funny...especially when he has the Yamaguchi's (Kristi Yamaguchi!) to a Mexican themed dinner party.
