goals amendment #1

one of my goals this year was to try a new recipe once a month. however, after a so-so recipe last month, and a couple of near disasters this month, i'm making an amendment.

first though, the story of the no-good-horrible-very-bad thin mint. i saw the picture and recipe here. and i had two thoughts. one, i love thin mint girl scout cookies. and two, i need to take a treat to go with my relief society lesson on sunday. so on saturday i tried it out. problems ensue. first, the recipe as written did not turn into a dough, but rather into a flour-y mess. after trying to "fix" the recipe with a little extra butter and vanilla, it was roll-out-able, so that's what i did. however, after baking them up, they were super crumbly. and, after tasting them, they were super bad. seriously, what kind of recipe calls for a whole cup of cocoa? so into the sink they went. and my lesson went on without a treat.

without further ado, the amendment. try new recipes each month until i find a good recipe, worthy of serving to friends and family and/or worthy of making again. good luck to me.
