I've recently come upon the knowledge that I'm popular and that people have missed reading my baked rambles. This is a new feeling for me so I am going to bask in my internet glory with a bonus blog post this week. Ya know to make up for being a lazy bum this whole month. I'm not going to be focusing on any one recipe today but I have been working on some things.

First things first my little kitten whiskerers, Happy fricking Halloween! I'm dressed up in a hooded cookie monster bathrobe with matching pajama pants. Yes I am that badass. While we are on the subject of cookies, do you remember when I made
these? A few weeks ago I made a three pack of oatmeal chip cookies for my husband. It included dark chocolate, cinnamon and my new favorite flavor for just about anything, mint. I did not think mint and oatmeal would go together but oh my god, seriously you just gotta make them. I would suggest keeping some Andes chips around all the time because they are great. Even if you dont want to make anything with them, I just eat them out of the bag by the handful. Next, I wanna talk a little about why I was so lazy this month. It looked a little something like this:

That's the whole cast for "Honeymoon at Graveside Manor". Look how cute we are! If you've never done live theatre then you can't understand how exhausting it is. Especially when you get the honor of playing someone who starts having a slight mental breakdown. It wears at your mental health a little. So I'm going to call the rest of October my mental health restoration month. But now the show is closed, the set is gone and the fancy furniture has all returned to the fancy places we borrowed it from. Which means I am going to be working extra hard all November to bring you the bloggiest of posts and the postiest of blogs. Here's a sneak peak for tomorrows.

Yes, my dear friends I made ganache for the first time in my life and it wasn't all that scary. But before I get to that I have to tell you about that obviously mint chocolate cheesecake I made. I used chocolate graham crackers for the crust (which was amazing) and I added the Andes mints that I'm obsessed with, right into the cream cheese. I dyed it green to make it taste mintier because shut up it totally works that way. It was my favorite cheesecake so far and you can bet your sweet ass that I will be doing more mix in cheesecakes in the future. I'm sorry for not having any cool halloween themed bakes this year....WAIT! I totally did make something halloweeny. Just give me one second to find the picture.
In the meantime...

That's ghosts and pumpkin patches, So don't let anyone ever tell you that kitten whiskers doesn't like the holidays. To prove it even further, my favorite thing(s) of the week are
Tabletop part one and
part two of this awesome game Betrayal at the House on the Hill. It's spooky and fun and smart and complex and great. I bought it and played it last night. I died but I still had a great time rooting for my fellow heroes while hope grew dim, and if that doesn't sell you then maybe we aren't even friends.
