Making Your Friends Happy

There was great satisfaction in doing things for my friends. Throwing a get together or baking cookies (or in my case, lemon bars) for someone goes a LONG, LONG way.

If you want to really wow a group of friends, bake a birthday cake or bake a pie. Be adventurous. If it doesn't turn out well, try to figure out what went wrong and try to correct it.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with chemistry experiments. If you're working with flammable compounds, and the experiment doesn't turn out well...RUN!

You can go to www.marthastewart.com and find great recipes. Try keeping a scrap book of things that you have cooked (a picture, recipe, and comments).
