Tarts and casestudies
I'm so not motivated to do my counseling case study today. I have a draft due to share with a first year student, so I guess I should get that done soon. Luckily I had already started a while back. The thing is, I haven't been able to fully meet with my counseling case these past two weeks. I really hate that I only get to see her for 30 minutes at a time. Then again I wouldn't want to have her miss too much of instruction time.
Yesterday I got a lot of little things done for my other classes, so I'm glad. I turned in my consultation case study on Thursday and finished our parent workshop on nutrition and academic achievement (which was a success I think).
Last week we had a potluck and I didn't have time to really cook anything. My sp mentioned just buying carrot sticks and celery. I said "no way". First off, I started the potlucks with homemade goods and decent bought food if I didn't have time to cook. There was no way I was going to bring freaking carrot and celery sticks. So anyway she said if I could bring some tarts when I bake them. My sp is always so cool and has bought me lunch a couple times, so it's the least I could do.
I've been wanting to give Mr. Eats Anything some homemade food too since I haven't been able to cook him anything yet since I've been so busy with school. I finally bought some ingredients last week and found time last night to do some baking. :) it came out pretty good considering I didn't have my mom's baking sheets. Making tarts though is such a pain. There are only a few ingredients, but it's such a hassle to press and mold each and very mini shell and fill each and every one. UGH. I ended up making 52 with one batch. I had 12 pcs of shells left and no more filling. I also used about 1 3/4 cup pecans instead of the 1. I don't skimp on ingredients (I guess I'm more like my mom than I thoguht :P). So yeah they are pretty good. I was able to compensate for the cold spots in my apartment's oven. The edges tend to burn one side of the pan while the middle takes longer to bake, but it comes out relatively even. So when making multiple sheets, I'll have to turn the sheets on the side of the oven to their other side to evenly brown.
End result, no sticking, golden brown and yummy pecan tarts with just enough sweetness and crunchy crust :) I wish I could have given them to him warm, but it was way late by the time I got the last batch done. He'll have to heat them in the toaster oven. Still yummy though :D Guess I'll br dropping them off tonight or tomorrow.
