Aww sad you missed the sign up but yeah that would probably be a little stressful if you had to juggle traveling + baking and sending cookies! Not to mention stale cookies in the mail would be super sad! <br /><br />And I know--time flies! We shall have to reunite in Austin (or Houston!) again soon :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437183815391592275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693628612103109169.post-9241676426668028932013-11-12T12:14:33.379-06:002013-11-12T12:14:33.379-06:00Thank you so much, Erika!

(picture me with a camera remote in my mouth, whisking eggs, and using my lips to press the shutter button. yes, i looked as goofy as it sounds and yes, i did drool on myself.) Then I put the pictures together using ps elements to create the .gif. I can't stop making 'em now! <br />I totally understand your hesitation with the dough. I have to remind myself not to overwork it and just mix to combine.<br />I'm so so so sad I missed the sign-up date for the cookie swap by one day!! I really want to do it again this year but it's probably for the best since I'll be out of town during the deliver-by and post-by dates. How bout you?<br /><br />p.s. awww... it's almost 1 year since we became blogging buds!Melissa Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933703540365654701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693628612103109169.post-25317155559563564342013-11-06T09:10:50.746-06:002013-11-06T09:10:50.746-06:00Omg.

These are EXACTLY what I want to eat (sweet potato PLUS kale PLUS empanada dough?? Swooooon.) and your photos are perfection!! Okay you must tell me how you made those gorgeous .gifs. How did you get the blurred effect with the fork? Did you use a tripod to take those photos? <br /><br />Sadly, any kind of dough that requires working butter into it is one of my least favorite items to bake, but I would definitely tough it out for these. I'm betting they're at least as awesome as your arepas (omg now I want some of those again) so I am definitely bookmarking these for dinner soon!! Also! Are you doing the cookie swap again this year??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437183815391592275noreply@blogger.com
