Happy Birthday Harry Potter!

'Twas Harry Potter's birthday yesterday, and to celebrate, my friends and I made this wonderfully authentic Harry Potter cake and watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in our long line of the HP marathon. It was really great, my friends are pretty much the coolest in the world. We've been watching the HP series for a couple weeks now and I think we are doing a pretty bang up job on it. Notice on the cake we attempted to spell "Hapee" how Hagrid spelled it. There might have been 2 P's. Oh well. Now everybody out there, go watch yourself some Harry Potter and love it!

Knives and Chili

Knives....are dangerous. While making delicious Chili, I was learning how to properly dice an onion. My roommate Courtnie was teaching me, she is in the culinary program at UVU and she was letting me use her special knife. Apparently, I shouldn't cut stuff, cause I slipped and cut my finger!!! ACK!! It hurt so bad, and it was bleeding like crazy, but it stopped...eventually. But the Chili turned out great! Here's the recipe for you courtesy of UVU's "The Zone"

Four Bean Chili

1/2lb. hamburger (extra lean)

1 onion, chopped

1 can green Lima beans, un-drained

2 cans kidney beans, un-drained

1 can butter beans, un-drainged

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water

Brown the  hamburger and onion together on the stove top. Stir together all ingredients and simmer on the stove top for 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!!
