Churros with Chocolate dipping sauce by Simply Delicious

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter (I used salted butter, if you use unsalted add a pinch of salt to the batter)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• oil for frying

Cinnamon sugar

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Chocolate sauce

• 100g (3.53 ounces) dark chocolate
• 50ml (1.69 fluid ounces) cream

1. Start by making the chocolate sauce and the cinnamon sugar. Simply melt the chocolate and cream together and set aside. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar and salt. Allow the butter to melt and stir everything together.
3. Sift in the flour and stir until a ball starts to form.
4. Transfer the mixture to your stand-alone mixer or to a separate bowl if you are using a hand-held blender.
5. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
6. Place enough oil into a pot to fry the churros and allow to heat.
7. Start beating the dough and add the eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition. The mixture will become slightly sticky and more like a batter, but still thick.
8. Place the batter into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
9. When the oil is hot, pipe long shapes into the oil and allow to fry until golden brown, flip them over and fry on the other side.
10. Continue until all the batter has been used.
11. Coat the churros in the cinnamon sugar.
12. Serve warm with chocolate sauce.

Moss Painting

“In your blender, combine:

• One can of cheap beer or 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• A few handfuls of moss
• One teaspoon of sugar.

Blend until the mixture is smooth, and you’re ready to get painting!

You can use a brush to paint your moss onto concrete walls, rocks, or brick. Mist the moss once a day to help it thrive, and soon your green graffiti will take hold!”

Blommin’ onion bread by The Girl Who Ate Everything

• 1 unsliced loaf sourdough bread
• 12-16 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup finely diced green onion2
•  teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust. This can be a little tricky going the second way but the bread is very forgiving.
3. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Insert cheese slices between cuts. Combine butter, onion, and poppy seeds. Drizzle over bread. Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 
4. Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
