Happy Halloween!

This year's creepy candy is over :( But on the plus side its Halloween! I didn't get a recipe together in time so instead I got this:

Peeling skin made in photo shop

A rabid chained up Eater ( comment to know more ) 

Sleder man!!!!

Minecraft Sorter!

 A Sorting machine in VANILLA minecraft!!!

Enough said.

The ingredients:

8 cobble blocks

2 pieces of redstone

A chest

Redstone torch

Redstone repeaters

Redstone Comparators

And hoppers.

Put your blocks  in this shape.

Put the comparator on the top and repeater on the bottom.

Place the redstone on the top of the stone structure.

Add a redstone torch as shown.

Now place your final block in front of the torch.

Put a chest on top.

Now place a hopper on top of the torch making sure the hopper is pointing at the chest.

Do the same thing on top but make it point towards the comparator.

On the top hopper put what you want to sort in this amount:

Depending on how many of these you make just attach a hopper at the end and a row of them faces it as shown. Add a chest to the hoppers. 

Fastest, Vanilla, Minecraft Pipe!!!

Until minecraft 1.5 there were few ways to transport goods such as food, cobble, or ores. Since the Hoppers and Droppers come out in 1.5 there has been makeshift pipes. But this one is the best of all of them:

The Ingredients:

Redstone repeaters

Droppers

Blocks

Levers

Redstone

Start by digging out every other block making a line.

Fill your holes with repeaters.

Place blocks on the surface next to the holes.

Put repeaters in the spaces in between. 

Drop you droppers over your holes making a straight line. And make sure they all point the same direction.

Connect repeaters to the blocks that start the machine ( the back ).

Add a lever.

Now to start the machine fill the first dropper with items and flick the switch on and off. You could also add a clock if you want ( but that makes annoying clicking noises so...). 

Thanks for reading and enjoy!!!

Microwave Monday #21 Chickpeas

So while I don't like chickpeas I do like hummus and one time when we made roasted chickpeas I didn't mind them. So if cake and candy have been just too unhealthy for you here is a recipe that will fix that :)

The Ingredients:

A can of chickpeas

Your choice of seasoning

Olive oil

Start by rinsing out your peas. And mix in your olive oil and seasoning.

Flatten out the chickpeas on a plate and cook until they're as cooked as you like.

Pour into a bowl and enjoy!

Microwave Monday #20 Caramel Hot Drink

So since it has snowed here I decided to start doing some hot drink posts!

The ingredients:

1 Tbsp white sugar

A splash of water

1 tsp heavy cream

1 cup milk

Whipped cream

Put your sugar and water into a mug and microwave until it is amber in color.

Add your cream.

Slowly add your milk.

 Microwave until the caramel has dissolved and the milk is hot.

Top with whipped cream and enjoy!

Cake Shake!

I haven't made a non themed post in forever!

I baked and decorated a small cake and after a day or so it started to get old… So now its milkshake time!

Ingredients:
a slice of cake
ice cream
milk
vanilla

Gather up your ingredients.

Scoop ice cream into your blender.

Add a slice of cake (My cake was very small so I used two slices). Add a splash of milk.

Blend until smooth and if you want a thicker then add ice cream and if you want it to be thiner then add more milk. Enjoy!

Microwave Monday #19 Pumpkin Purée

Todays post is both a microwaved and a baked pumpkin!

The ingredients:

2 sugar/pie pumpkins

Cut the pumpkins half.

Scoop out the guts!

Now if your baking your pumpkins then wrap them in foil and bake them for an hour at 425˚.

If your microwaving your pumpkin then chop it into chunks.

Put into a microwave safe bowl, cover it with wax paper or plastic wrap, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir it and then cook for 10 more minutes.

Scoop out the baked pumpkins flesh and put into a food processor. For the microwaved version just cut the skin off off the and put the flesh into a food processor.

Blend until smooth. I would also suggest pouring the pumpkin through a strainer so that any chunks are removed. 

I hope you liked this recipe, and and as always enjoy!

Creepy Candy #4 Lollypops

Another Creepy candy that afterwards I regretted. But this time the creepy part wasn't that bad and the candy part was gross. So as usual I went to are import store and got this:

The sad part is that the lolly pop didn't taste that good… There were ones that had jalapeño seeds in them which would have been tastier just because licking some thing spicy is better then trying to lick something that is dry and sharp. 

All in all I wouldn't get this again but it was still fun to have.

Microwave Monday #18 Baked Apples

Its apple season!!! Which means todays post is about baked apples.

The Ingredients:

A green apple

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbsp butter

Remove your apples core.

Mix together your cinnamon and sugar.

Fill the middle of your apple with the sugar and then top that with your butter. Finally cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper.

Microwave for 2-5 minutes or until soft.

Serve and enjoy.
