"Cooking Mama" is a DS game that features a matronly character who teaches you to cook! Here I'm cutting a tentancle to make takoyaki (octopus dumplings). Watch out--if you work too slowly she gets pissed and her eyes catch fire!
Pumpkin Cupcakes
Ingredients:
•2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sift before measuring
•1 tablespoon baking powder
•1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
•1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•1/2 cup butter/margarine, softened
•1 1/3 cups sugar
•2 eggs, beaten until frothy
•1 cup mashed cooked or canned pumpkin
•3/4 cup milk/soy milk
•3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl. Cream butter/margarine and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs. Blend in mashed pumpkin.
Stir in the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk, blending until batter is smooth after each addition; stir in chopped walnuts. Spoon batter into well-greased and floured or paper-lined muffin pan cups. Fill about 2/3 full.
Bake at 375° for 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before filling.
I cheated on the filling and used a Caramel that I got from a Russian Deli but you can use any Caramel Spread or even pre-made if you'd like. Once the cupcakes were completely cool, I filled them with caramel.
Cream Cheese Frosting
•8 ounces Cream Cheese/Soy Cream Cheese
•1/2 cup butter/margarine
•2 cups powdered sugar
•2 tsp vanilla
•a dab of food coloring of your choice
•jimmies
Blend in mixer until fluffy and spread on cool cupcakes. Add jimmies.
I recommend refrigerating the cupcakes when completed and eating them cold.
I made a vat of declicious chili and cornbread. All quite good ingredients, I might add, especially the High Life. Poppy was quite pleased with my handiwork.
On the other side, 2 person are doing some cooking and another 2 curious on-lookers glancing at it. Maybe the aroma smells fabulous! Wahahaha!

"A bright idea came into Alice's head. `Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?' she asked. `Yes, that's it,' said the Hatter with a sigh: `it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles.' Then you keep moving round, I suppose?' said Alice. Exactly so,' said the Hatter"
