Ten thousand years ago, Cro-Magnon hunters etched hearts in stone. Eight thousand years later, Egyptians would revere the heart as the cradle of intelligence, wisdom and memory, an organ that guarded or revealed moral shortcomings: After the deceased had crossed the dangerous country between the land of the living and the land of the dead, he or she entered the Hall of Two Truths, where the jackal god Anubis weighed the hearts of the dead. Anubis placed a heart on one side of a scale and an ostrich feather on the other. The feather symbolized truth, and only a heart of the same weight was worthy of the fields of heaven. (The jackal god tossed unworthy hearts to “the gobbler,” a crocodilian monster that waited at the base of the scales.) Aristotle identified the heart as the most important organ in the body, and in the second century, the Roman physician Galen described the heart as the body’s hearthstone .

Tips for Cooking Pasta To cook pasta more evenly, prevent it from sticking together and avoid boil-overs, always cook pasta in a large kettle or Dutch oven. Unless you have a very large kettle, don't cook more than 2 pounds of pasta at a time.

First semester DONE AND DONE. It feels like it flew by yet at the same time so many memories have been made and friendships formed. As I was looking through the photos on my phone trying to come up with a story to describe my time at Cornell so far, I realize how much has happened since those first few days I stepped on campus to where I stand right now.

Going Dutch When I got home from the hospital recently, I had a bunch of mail waiting for me.“I made funfetti cupcake pops recently and included a few step by step photos of them as well! Funfetti has always been my favorite type of cake so we make these extra large and fancy. It took a lot of cupcake pops to finally get it right but now my mom and I make these for friends and family all the time! I am even hustled by people in my school to make them for events and dinners! Thanks for the idea! With love and cupcakes…” – CookTeen

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am cookoo for cake pops, and how cute are these cupcake pops! Usually, I make them with red velvet cake but this time, in honor of my friend and neighbor, Elysa’s 12th Birthday–I made them using Funfetti Cake Mix, yum! Ok, to get started, bake the cake per package instructions in a 13 9 x 2 inch pan, cool completely (I like to bake the cake the day before), crumble cooled cake into a bowl and add 3/4 of a container of store bought cream cheese frosting. Yes, I said store bought, can you believe it? Usually, I make my homemade cream cheese frosting, but we had a can on hand, so i tried it and you know what, it was just as good and super easy. form cupcake shape by pressing log into cookie cutter and smooshing it all the way down and form crown-like top..no other way I can say it…hope the pictures say it better then I?
