Abood purchased me a website domain for a year so my blog shall be switching over once it is set up. Sorry for the lack of up dates, life is busy. Oh yea and I'm broke.

Today I bought pants, something I haven't done for years. I'm not exaggerating in that statement. The pants I wear to my internship are from my sister and my mother.  The jeans I wear are from first year university or once again my sister's cast offs. And now I tell you a dark secret. I'm a lover of leggings. I am not quite certain what size I would like to be in the future and as such tights allow me to be however and I made the decision not to purchase pants until I knew. And now you must be really confused why there is a picture of Tilda Swinton and I'm talking about pants, ok let me move on. I also saw We Need to Talk About Kevin this evening besides purchasing two pairs of pants from the Gap for $34. Man that is a thought provoking movie, I may have read some reviews and plot summaries prior because I have been doing that lately, but none the less it was quite good. And I still dislike John C. Reilly even though he also does an acceptable job, but Tilda steals it, along with the Kevin's at various ages.

I miss warm weather and taking pictures.

If I could only keep one possession it would be Teddy.

Weighing my love of sweet things against my desire to be healthy/fit. Either way I'm baking tonight.
I may also have like five pieces of Juicy Fruit gum in my mouth right now.

A little Fiona Apple.

Reflecting on the people I've been.

I ascribe to the theory that things don't become easier to bare over time, rather, they just become more distant. 

So I pushed myself out of my baking funk via macaroons. I did the usual substitutions such as grinding almonds into almond flour rather than purchasing it, and turning my normal white sugar into superfine sugar. Oh and leaving out the cream of tartar altogether. Though in regards to the almonds I did blanch them myself which I must say was rather time consuming but alls well that ends well.  Now I must not eat them all before Abed comes home. Also I shall never follow a recipe completely again.

It's past my bedtime. I'm tired.

So let the photo deceive you, I failed at making churros. Outside cooked, inside not. Deep frying isn't my friend as we never did such unhealthy things in my household/the recipe was crap and I followed it exactly. This isn't a good baking spree I'm on. I'm kind of bummed.

The Descendants Review

Today Abed and I went out for a movie date as tomorrow I don't have to get up early meaning I can attend the now late for me 9:45 showing. As you can clearly see above we saw The Descendants. It was a good movie. There was quality acting from all parties, young and old. It was quite sad. Made bearable by the older daughters friend who adds the majority of the light hearted elements. It made me quite aware that my movie taste is shifting, I'm wanting to steer further from those hyper realistic movies about everyday occurrences that trouble me, such as death. In addition those movies focusing on the darkness of humanity with no fantasy element such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But clearly I haven't actually been following such ideas since I saw both of these movies. Man I don't know where to go with this review, well the movie is about a family and their struggle with their mother who is in a coma from a motor boat accident and surrounding events and histories. If I tell you any more I sort of take something away from your potential viewing. So go watch, then we can discuss. 

Two things: 

One, I miss my cat beyond belief.

Two, I fucking hate cilantro.  

One of my all time favorite candies is out early... Yes delicious Robins Eggs, which usually don't arrive until post Valentines. Indeed they may just be candy coated Whoppers but they are so much more than that, trust me. ps. not my image. I couldn't very well stop to take a picture while I was devouring the entire bag. 

Cake Fail. Sunken and undercooked. I'm still tired and my weekend is over.

Opposite of photoshop. Mamiya 645. Medium format film. Taken from my sleep series. Unedited, hence the dust.

I forgot how much I love photoshop. 

Yes you are witnessing the birth of my photoshopping abilities, not so pretty yes I am aware but hey got to start somewhere.

Banana Bread + Toblerone = Love (aka deliciousness) 

Cake Pops

 So I know I've been bad you don't have to mention it. But look cake pops! Ok I know they are not on a stick or dipped in some form of icing or chocolate but they are on their way.

 Basically I got this cold a few days ago and it felt the need to peak on my weekend which I now am forced to savor as I am working 9 to 5. Without getting paid. Yes I'm still bitter. So I've been bumming around all day whining and what not when Abed forced me or rather us to do something which turned into baking. I got this awesome cake pop maker from my lovely sister and haven't had a chance to use it until now. We made banana cake pops as we had a bunch of bananas going rather over ripe. The whole experience was rather positive. Yes some are a bit dark, as a note the bottoms are supposed to be darker and I will contribute the rest to the banana nature of the cake or bread or whatever merger of the two it is. Recipe here .

 As a note I much prefer these cake pops to the ones you have to crumble a cake add icing and form into a ball. That isn't to say that I don't love an excuse to add icing to things but this just feels better to me. I'll update you with decorations tomorrow friends.
