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.
