cooking

I'm not too sure where to start since I have a bunch of topics about school from way back when I stopped writing and some stuff about these last few days. Erm, I think I'll start with today, since it's all fresh in my mind.

Recently, I've started watching Sorted Food on youtube, and through them I found Nicko's Kitchen. On Nicko's Kitchen, he makes a bunch of fast food replicas and healthier version and some really yummy looking desserts. One particular one that stuck out in my mind was ice cream muffins. It's literally, melted ice cream and flour baked. Ok, it sounds a bit gross but it look SO cool!

I wanted to ask my friend to do something since she's going on holiday soonish and I've planned a massive splurge shopping trip (think 3-digits and months of accumulated allowances) with my other friend but I didn't want to spend much money since I wanted to buy the absolute most stuff I possibly could with my accumulated money, and neither did she, but for other reasons. Therefore, in the brain of Michelle, inviting my friend round for a cooking afternoon would be free and fun. Even though she's not that great at cooking and really only makes instant noodles and chocolate orange scones (which are delicious Lizzy :)). So I decided that we would make KFC with chips, ice cream muffins and an Oreo milkshake (she let me choose, I'm not THAT bossy).

It actually went quite well in the beginning, but then after we seemingly successfully cooked the chicken, the chips weren't done, since she put way too much oil on them. But then the chicken wasn't fully cooked so we had to microwave it. However, after that, things were a little bumpy but ok. She got the not so nice chips that we took out early and had to put back in the oven and mine stayed in long enough to crisp up and my meal was delicious. Then hers were done and we made the Oreo milkshake. We used a tonne of ice cream, a bit of milk and tonne of Oreo biscuits. It was yummy but sickly after a while. Then we attempted the muffins but we didn't fully melt the ice cream and it messed up so we added milk but it made it taste funny so I added chocolate chips which didn't help as much as I thought it would. By that point, we were both a little hyper from all the sugar, and feeling pretty sick, too. We kept joking about our bodies shutting down or getting diabetes. I felt so full and gross that after 3 to 4 hours I still felt stuffed and a bit disgusting.

Apart from that though, and the muffins tasting a bit bland, it was a yummy day. Then I got a text from the shopping friend and we talked on the phone whilst I got ready for and walked to work and we've arranged to do something tomorrow, not really knowing what the something was.
