baking and cooking

This morning a few Quotarians held a baking class with the Cool Cats for Sweetest Day. We broke down into two groups; one group made Cinnamon Brownies and Oreo Truffles and the other group made Apple Crisp, Rice Krispy Treats and Chocolate Scotcheroos (Rice Krispy Treats with chocolate & butterscotch topping). We had a lot of fun and lots of yummy treats.

When I got home I made Apple Turnovers (for Gary).

This is what I've learned: I do not like cooking with cornstarch. Check out this website. I've tried to learn what I'm doing wrong... but truthfully, I'm about to give up.

I made a second attempt at the chocolate pudding the other day.

It's still not pudding.

And then today, the apple turnover filling wasn't very thick. So I googled "tips on using cornstarch" and found the above website.

Huh?

So, what am I doing wrong?

Apparently everything.

I give up. Cornstarch 2, Emily 0
