Cursed Cooking Pt. 2: Babby's First Cookies
If you need some context for how clueless and inexperienced I am with baking and cooking in general, I wrote about it on my last post heh heh..
I thought I'd attempt some cookies today as a pick-me-up—didn't expect for it to turn into a 5 hour long venture.....
Because anything I make would only be consumed by me and my parents, I seeked out a small batch recipe that could be made in a toaster oven..... I simply wanted to try out making something with whatever we already had in the house and I saw that some people on the internet successfully substituted cocoa powder with hot chocolate mix so decided to try that.... and also I didn't have the specific types of sugar and salt that the recipe listed so substituted those too orzzzz and don't have vanilla extract or chocolate chips so skipped those..... LOL BASICALLY I SET MYSELF UP FOR CURSED COOKIES; I knew from the start. Had no expectations and it still managed to surprise me.
I really shouldn't be allowed to make food without supervision.

I Just Made the Most Cursed Fake Churros Ever
So.... I basically have no experience making "fun food." In fact, I can't even say that I can cook—I can assist my parents via their direction and do the basics of the basics that require little thought or practice, enough to keep full and healthy. But crafting food for fun has never been of interest to anyone in this house... o<-< Things like desserts, baking, deep frying are pretty much uncharted territory for me. I've helped friends with measuring ingredients for cookies a few times in my lifetime probably!!
Last week, the Disney Parks churro tots recipe made waves in my work group chat and I thought, "That's so cool!!! Maybe someday when I get really bored in quarantine I'll think about giving that a try!"
A few days later, Denny also linked it to me (extremely impressed that he remembers that I like churros and Disney omfg) and I thought, "Dammit now I want these!! But no one would make them for me and I don't have the ingredients T___T..." Continued to have that on my mind for a few days as I kept missing the novelty of eating desserts and going out for treats with friends... Scoured the kitchen and discovered that we surprisingly have flour, butter, and an adequate amount of eggs hmmm....
I am not bored at all—there are actually too many things that I want or need to do—but at some point my mental priority switch was flipped and HERE I AM WANTING TO GIVE DESSERT-MAKING A TRY!!! Starting with the churros, fuck it!! How bad could it be!! How badly could this possibly go!!
So here's how things fell apart i m m e d i a t e l y:
> Recipe calls for piping bag with a star tip.
> Can't be bothered.
> What if I just roll the dough into balls instead? Lol it's probably fine
> Recipe calls for both cinnamon and cinnamon sugar.
> No cinnamon available for grocery pick-up.
> Settles for cinnamon sugar only. Can't make too much of a difference right?
> Crap, I waited a day and the cinnamon sugar sold out.
> WAIT WHAT IF I WENT A TOTALLY CREATIVE ROUTE......
✨ Thus the idea for Cinnamon Toast Crunch churro balls was born. ✨

YEEEEY another collab that I was really looking forward to came out! There's something fun and nostalgic about representative singing as an anime character, which I grew up doing but never do anymore oops....
It's the group character song from OshiBudo aka If My Favorite Pop Idol Made it to the Budoukan, I Would Die which is my favorite anime from the season that just ended. ;u; Idol collabs hnngg I'm actually also organizing my own collab from this anime as well!which i really need to work on but animal crossing has me on a tight leash
🥺 ikon and Reba somehow trusted me enough to let me sing as the center of the group: the adorable, earnest, sweetest supportive friend, best pink leader Reo!! 💖
Over the past week, I've replayed this collab an uncountable amount; I really enjoy it..... The energy from each and every vocalist is off the charts and perfect 👌 I like everyone's voices a lot. And the way our mixer Jess made those group parts blend and sound like they could be the original vocals of the song?? So impressed. It was an honor to be in this!

Absolutely no shade at all—this happened before I heard anyone else's lines—but when I was recording, I went and tried to sing as all of the ChamJam girls.......... It was way too much fun LOL.
