http://spatulasandstethoscopes.blogspot.com/2012/09/triple-chocolate-orange-cookies.html

Delicious dishes, fun in the city, and oh yeah.medical school. Friday, September 28, 2012. Triple Chocolate Orange Cookies. You can't believe how much I've missed my kitchen, husband, and puppy (in no particular order :). Monday I start my next rotation in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), the scariest place on earth. Not just for parents, but for med students, residents, and doctors in general. Talk about the smallest margin of error ever! I'm kind of pumped though. Triple Chocolate Orange Cookies.

Spatulas and Stethoscopes: August 2012

Delicious dishes, fun in the city, and oh yeah.medical school. Friday, August 31, 2012. Peanut Butter Cup Pie. I took a bite out of that far one. Don't judge me. So this recipe is delicious. Peter's favorite candy is a Resees Peanut Butter Cup, and this pie matches the flavor profile pretty well! The weirdest part is that you melt Cool Whip with chocolate chips for the topping! I've never had to do that before and it looked like it would be a mess, but it made the smoothest topping. Who knew? It's the fi...

What a great day to enjoy the warm weather, and of course be grateful for all the troops working hard to keep us safe. My weekend was filled with long walks with Lady, catching up on housework, laying in the sun, a touch of studying (too little of that.whoops), a little bit of work, a barbeque with great friends, and of course baking! Then beat it up.

And then I extubated (pulled the tube out) after it was all over and we reversed all the crap we gave him. Boom. The field of anesthesia and I have been flirting on and off for years, and while I don't think I'm going to jump my baby doctor ship anytime soon, it was a fun experience :). So you really came here to read about some bars? 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks, cold).

My mom got some simple pillow-like cut outs that I worked with to figure out the machine (the bobbin will be the death of me.), but after that, it was on to a pattern. Now, you sewing experts out there probably find this hilarious, but seriously patterns are complicated! Plus, I had my mom on stand-by, who is a great teacher :) What do you think?

Delicious dishes, fun in the city, and oh yeah.medical school. Monday, February 27, 2012. Dead Men Tell No Tales. Well this weekend was a blast. I went home to help my dad pull off his ambitious dinner menu for the Men in the Kitchen fundraiser dinner.
