A homemade creation of my dear chef sister :)
I sprinkled some of the rainbow crumbs on the white icing for an added touch!

I haven't eaten the powdered boxed stuff since I was in college. The homemade version is really easy and tastes so much better!
Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
1) Cook and drain an 8 ounce box of elbow macaroni. Pour the cooked noodles into a large casserole dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2) In a large saucepan, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter. Mix in 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried mustard and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Let it cook for just a couple minutes, then stir in 2 cups of milk.
3) Stirring constantly, bring the milk mixture slowly to a boil over medium heat. Let it gently boil for a few minutes until it's thick and creamy.
4) Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 12 ounces of grated sharp cheddar (you can use many different kinds of cheese - lots of times I'll use multiple types of cheese in one batch) Once the cheese and white sauce are evenly mixed, pour the sauce over the macaroni. Stir it, so everything is evenly dispersed. Set aside.
5) In a small saucepan, melt 2-4 Tablespoons of butter. Once it's melted, stir in a few tablespoons of seasoned dry breadcrumbs. It should form a crumbly texture.
6) Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole and bake it (uncovered) at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Peppermint Patties:
2 cups (260 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons (20 grams) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon peppermint oil (do not use peppermint extract)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons (30 ml) evaporated milk
Chocolate Coating:
9 ounces (225 grams) semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon (12 grams) shortening
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, smoothing out any wrinkles. Lightly dust the foil with confectioners sugar (powdered or icing).
In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat (on low speed) the sugar, butter, peppermint oil, vanilla extract, and evaporated milk until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until very creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer the batter to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to chill until firm enough to roll into balls (about 30 - 60 minutes).
Roll the batter into 1 inch (2.54 cm) balls and place on the prepared pan. Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand until the patties are about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter and 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick. Cover and place in the refrigerator until the patties are firm (about one hour).
Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate and shortening in a heatproof bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove the patties from the refrigerator and dip, one patty at a time, into the melted chocolate, making sure both sides of each patty are completely coated with chocolate. (You can use 2 forks or a chocolate dipping fork.) Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and then place the patties back on the foil. Once all the patties have been dipped in the chocolate, return to the refrigerator to chill until firm (30 - 60 minutes). Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container (separate layers with parchment paper or wax paper) for up to one month.

For Christmas Eve at my mom's, we decided to keep things low key. So, I came up with the idea of making homemade individual pizzas. That way, everyone could choose their own toppings.
It went over very well :)

Took the time this weekend to craft a homemade body-cap pinhole lens.
Materials Used:
1.) Body Cap
2.) Cheap 52mm filter
3.) Pepsi Can
4.) Poster Putty/Blu-tack
5.) Sticky tape
Tools used:
1.) Drill
2.) Pin
3.) scissors
4.) Dremmel
Steps:
1.) Drill a hole through the center of the body cap.
2.) Cut a section of the pepsi can small enough to fit inside the diameter of the body cap
3.) push a pin into the middle of your pepsi can section - not hard enough to go through, but enough to make a dimple on the other side.
4.) Sand/Grind on the other side/dimple until you can see a small hole - best to check by holding up to the light.
5.) tape the pepsi can with pinhole over the hole drilled in the body cap - keep the pinhole in the center of the drilled hole.
6.) to stop the camera sucking dust through the pinhole - and it will - line the edges of the body cap with the poster-putty and stick a cheap UV or Skylight filter on it.
Depending on how much of the materials you already had - you will now have a free to approx $12 pinhole lens to play with :)
While everything will have a pleasant soft-focus - you'll find you have an infinite depth of field - basically anything from the pinhole to infinity will be 'in focus'
