Truffles are not Trifles
So the truffles have been made! It does make for a little mess but they are pretty good
First of all, brought one cup heavy cream and 3 tablespoons corn syrup to a boil. I poured that over 3/4 lb of dark chocolate (from Walmart @ $3.28 a pound) that had been finely chopped. Then [...]

Interesting Title #2
As I write I’m munching on a fig (if you can munch on one. It seems more apt to say “crunching.”) Yesterday and today I haven’t eaten anything but fruits and vegetables. So far, um, I wouldn’t continue indefinitely! I’m hungry all of the time and I’m really looking forward to 9pm when I break [...]

Sunny Skies, Grey Clouds
Actually, there wasn’t anything but a few small white clouds when I went out earlier and did my Spanish work in the sun. There is an advantage to not doing school in a classroom
It’s so important to keep perspective when things seem to be falling apart. It’s not even worth explaining how life [...]

I wrote up a post the other day and assumed it posted itself when I clicked the publish button. Not so! It disappeared
Very saddening, but oh well.
I had shared a recipe for Pannu Kakku and wrote out all the PRICES for the ingredients and my estimate for the cost. To put it [...]

Pictures Again
It’s now been a whole week since my last pull up workout. I had been able to do 3 full pull ups. Guess how many I could do this morning!! NONE! That’s right. Nada. Zilch. I was surprised, but now that I look back I should have expected it. My lats (back muscles) still [...]

I sent a letter out today. It felt good to communicate with someone in non-internet form It’s sure a lot slower, but I tend to read more of the letter than when I get an email. Don’t get me wrong, I read my emails, but I READ my letters. If you want to experience [...]

Picture Post #1
Is a blog without pictures really a blog at all?
Well to satisfy the picture cravings that might drive you to someone else’s blog in search of more interesting content (because mine almost never has pictures these days), here are some pictures.
First off the lovely chocolate bar with whole coffee beans. Delightful!
Here’s me looking rather [...]

Interesting And Original Title #1
Today at about 3pm I realized that my whole day had been spent inside, despite nice weather outside. As I worked on my new youtube video, I started feeling really dazed and as if I wasn’t feeling ANYTHING. I was just staring at the computer screen, lost in thought except for this realization that brought [...]

Housesitting
I house-sat with my mom recently and to put it shortly, it’s hard to sleep in someone else’s house when it’s storming outside and the dog is crying and barking for hours in the middle of the night. And you have a toothache. The schedule went something like:
10pm go to sleep
12pm wake up with a toothache, thinking (hoping) it’s almost morning
1:00am wake up to check if morning is any closer
1:30am wake up because tooth is really hurting
2:00am wake up because dog is barking - just after falling asleep
2:30am dog is still barking and whining. I start to wonder if there’s something
out there. [...]

Please tell me it ain’t so! Ur not going to use juvenile spelling!
I am getting fed up with getting ims, emails, and now, seeing even ads with the spelling of “ur” for You’re/Your and “U’ for you. To some people it isn’t a big deal, either to use it or to see it, but it’s soo widespread now. Oops. Did I transgress the laws of spelling when [...]
