what kind of dough is it?  Do you seal it shut with pinches or a fork? Eggwash or water?

When i make them, i eggwash the edges together and seal with tines of a fork, and they never leak.  Also, making sure not to overfill is important

good luck

HAH- as a longtime enjoyer of bacon and chocolate, I can give this recipe a thumbs way up before even enjoying it... chocolate dipped bacon is also DELICIOUS. 

Cupcake look grand... but I just have to say how ADORABLE the color of that green nail polish is!

As far as dairy substituions go, I have found almond milk is tops!  Haven't cooked with it extensively, but the unsweetened (not original) tastes pretty similar to me just to drink in a glass.  I know that doesn't help with cooking, but... it is so, so, soooo yum!

Like Jeane said, easter is coming fast.  You could attach cardstock rounds to the bottom o the tubes, paint 'em, add a handle and use as a easter basket

These are SO WICKED

And, coincidence- I JUST read the poster behind you in my band class today.  Brilliant poster.  Brilliant cupcakes.

It was super-simple.  I eyeballed a jellybean shape and then added an inch or so, all freehand.  Lazy, lazy.  But it does the job!

I cleaned out my room a bit, and discovered how much I can really do to make it... superbomb.  For example... get a hamper, instead of using my handy floor as one. 
The list is as follows, more or less
-organize/beautify desk
-Revamp dresser-space/clean out
-make my t-shirt blanket/new duvet cover
-clean up my icky "entertainment roll-y thing"
-more fresh flowers!

This weekend I want to buy some flowers and clean up my desk space, but today I did my little TV-stand-entertainment-what-have-you.

Blech!  Cords! Unimportant crud!


Oh!  Beautatious once again!  My oh my!  I filtered out the old school/show binders (finally), got around to tucking the cord in the back.  And what are those, ou might ask?  Those little purple monster?  THAT IS RIGHT.  CONTROLLER COZIES. 


Cool, or cool?  I'm REALLY not a seamstress (at all)... not enought patience.  I'm actually embarrassingly terrible at it.  So the fact that these actually work amazes me!  It's just a little less messy and took about twenty five minutes for me to do.  Plus, they look like little monsters!

Anyways, when you have to closet and a small room (damned old houses), you really need to work on your skills of "do I really need it?" or, as I do, find good places to hide things in other peoples rooms!

FINALLY!  PICTURES FROM ME!
