Paula Deen for Halloween!

That's right, this year for Halloween, I dressed up as my culinary idol, Paula Deen. "Stick of butta!" and all! I even baked her Monster Cookies and carried them around with me all night in that cute little basket. It was quite a night (just ask MegFran, haha), and I certainly took on another personality, although I'm not sure just how "Paula" I was, lol. It was a good time though, and this was definitely by far my favorite Halloween costume in recent years. :o)

Monster Cookies

So, Monster Cookies are the best cookies ever made - and who else would create the recipe for the best cookies ever other than the one and only Paula Deen. That's right, these even contain a whole 'stick a butter'. But no really, these really are great cookies. AND I baked them for a good cause too! Yup, tomorrow and Wednesday, Phi Alpha Delta and the Black Law Student Association are hosting a bake sale to raise money for the Haiti Relief Efforts. We are also selling sack lunches with a sandwich, chips, and a dessert for just $5. So if any of this sounds appealing to you (and it should!), feel free to stop by the kitchen area of the law school (right by the east doors of the law school building off of Maple street) between 12 and 1 either tomorrow or Wednesday. And... if nothing else, you should come by to support the cause because it is my birthday. It's the big 2-4. :o)

Anyhow, so here's the recipe link:
