Vicky Learns to Cook

Hello Readers! I've been asked to teach a class on Middle Eastern food.  It was actually a while ago, but some things take time and I forget sometimes to do things. Also I have so many favorites, it's hard to pick what to teach. And if I teach them all we would have to start the day before! So right now, I am going to blog my journey to narrowing down the foods to teach. Or maybe make it more than one class? Or heck, a cookbook. Who knows where this will lead (laughs). World domination! Okay maybe not that far. Today's test came from getting a new grill (thanks to my neighbors who are awesome and got a mega super awesome grill with sensor lights - its really a holy moly kinda thing - so they sold us their original one. ) I'm not a grill person, well, I have not been up until now.

Just don't eat them yet. HOT. I kid you not, I said make ONE. He put about 1/2 cup of the bakery frosting in the cookie. It was gross. I made him turn it into a double stuffed sized cookie. Jeez. Anyway here is the recipe. We had left over frosting from the bakery supply store after making a cake, so we didnt use their filling. Hope you enjoy! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/oreo-cookies-r
