Delicious Moments Part II

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie . . . and making heart-shaped homemade butter.

Asparagus

Pepperjack Cheese

Rainbow Pancakes - I am waiting for Shayna's editing skills so for now you are stuck with this picture. In real life these were fun to eat and cut into. Yum.

Real Maple Syrup

Old Disney Movie Favorites

Pumelos

Finishing Rumpelstiltskin
(Any suggestions of fun short stories to read with friends)

A fun beautiful fairytale-filled picture

Dorito's Commercial

One makeshift, big, comfy bed.

Delicious Moments (1)

I really have written and re-written this blog out.

And meant to post it multiple times too.

Oh life and break. . .

Here are some things that can give you a few ideas about 

the delicious moments in my life right now.

(I've decided to call them delicious things in life

because I love that moment when I taste something 

and it's so good I never forget it, 

so this year that's what you get - delicious moments.)

My family. I love each and every one of them and LOVED the time home.

Shayna made apple pie in jars. It tasted yummy. I like simple beauties.

Shayna also made me chicken noodle soup. Yum.

I got to spend an evening with Katie. We have resolved to do this much more as it's wonderful.

Ashley took me home. :) I loved staying up late and reading kids books - this book is hilarious.

After never trying to read these I really wanted to and am almost done with the series! I am loving them and hope to always be like Lucy and call out for help from the right source when a  moment for faith comes.

Natalie and I had Tandoori Oven after a walk and before a movie.

Cody was a great big brother and shared pizza with me after running errands. :) Papa Johns larges are only $10 up until the Superbowl. YUM!

My mom spent a lot of time with me to make an apron of my own (I will post a picture of mine later as I am too lazy to take one now) and I love it.

I've NEVER been one to stay in pajamas all day unless I was sick. Over break I did it and I loved it. Wow. Who knew how good it felt to really let go and relax?

There are so many more delicious things in my life but there are few.

Crispy Truffle.

Today I tried one of these

Look good?

It was.

I loved the way the chocolate cracked when I bit into it

No good way to describe it really

but it was great.

Shayna said it's like a s'more . . .

I guess so but it's definitely a once in a while treat for me.

Have you had one?

What did you think?

p.s.  I really love sara bareilles' music. The end.

Experimental Life Lesson #1

When you use too large of a measuring spoon and

put WAY too much baking soda and salt in your cookies,

You can fix them by scooping a bunch out. . .

Still too salty?

Add another 1/4-1/2 cup of brown sugar,

And you are good to go.

Mmm!

p.s. this is a lesson I learned in my life. Outcomes of your own experiments with things similar to this experience may not always be the same.

SnAcKs

I don't know about you but I love that word.

It brings to mind so many things.
Ants on a log
a bag of chips
your favorite veggies or fruits
some licoricecucumbers in vinegar and crackers

cheese and crackers
pickles

a smoothie

your favorite candy

popcorn

Wow.

I think I'll go eat lunch now.

Thursday was again my day off.
Alaura and I got Happy Meals
because who doesn't love them?
My mom, dad, and I can attest to a time
when they boosted me up while shopping.
Then that night we had fondue.
Here is the set up.
I made the actual cheese dip.
Thanks Alaura for helping.
We had apple juice as they drink in Switzerland
where fondue is popular.
And we struggled some with what to dip.
For the future: what do you recommend?
Yum it was good!

18/52

I love guacamole (guac as I call it)
So we had a party.
We watched Leap Year and ate it.
As you can see we all like different amounts . . .
and Kendra's might be a little exaggerated for photography's sake.

Samoans and Samoas

Ok so I don't really have anything to say about Samoans,
BUT I LOVE Samoas.
You know the delicious girls scout cookie.
If you need proof of their deliciousness look:
Or you could even go buy some from the Girls Scouts.
(only place you can)

p.s. if you don't like them after you buy them,
please give them to me.

p.p.s. watch for the April 1st adventure of making some.

Split Saturday

This weekend has been pretty good
I didn't go home as I originally planned
making me a little sad but still ok.

Friday we watched some Alfred Hitchcock.

Then Saturday I played with my friend Michelle
and Alaura made Pho (pronounced like the Fu in Fun)
It's a Vietnamese dish and was interesting but also pretty good.
Then we made banana splits in little chocolate bowls
that I made before dinner.
YUM!
Oh and we made them with baby banana's :)

4/52

So this is late and also somewhat non-realistic
BUT without my camera I am lost.
Truthfully I look for it every time I go home.

Anyway, for last weeks Project 52 snippet
I am featuring my successful trip to Firehouse
for one of these (more or less they are the same)
with these girls whom I love! :)

Healthy

I had perfectly good intentions of eating a healthy lunch today . . .
(image)
. . .until I left my apple home and my yogurt was NOT good how it went bad I don't know. Oh well I will try again tomorrow or just go visit a place on campus for good food.
*sigh*

Wow what a week

Ok so the title may you lead to believe that something exciting has actually occured in my life this week . . . maybe even multiple things however this is misleading. Yep this week has been a work catch up craziness! As you know I took last week off to go home and so when I got back and others took off, I took their shifts so that I could catch up. 52 or so hours! That really can exhaust you! The people calling on the phones can get irritating really, luckily I enjoy working with the girls I do so I can still be somewhat happy and cheerful.

Oh last night I guess some things could be said to have happened, I was getting ready to cook dinner after a long day at work and a nap and Will came over. We played Mario Kart and then Molly came home. She cooked dinner and then her and Natalie joined us in watching Beauty and the Beast. We then made zucchini bread and cookies. Then Noah and Jason joined us for more Mario Kart. Well Lo and Behold the time flew and before we knew it was midnight and 7-11 so we just had to go and get our free slurpies right?!?! Well the poor lady working couldn't find the cups so we paid and went home, and went to bed! Then this morning I woke up got ready for the day ran a few errands, picked up a Jamba Juice with Molly and Natalie and came in to work for the rest of the day! Hooray . . .yep life is amazing all right.
