Fridge Rid

I loathe throwing away food, so when I had some soon-expired eggs to use and a craving for baked goods, I used an Allrecipes recipe for the simplest flourless PB cookies: 1 cup PB, 1 cup sugar, and 1 egg combined, dropped, and baked at 350*F for 10min. Doesn't get much easier... or tastier.

Jonesing...

...for a VooDoo maple bacon donut.

School's simmered down since I had to drop Calculus because of a schedule conflict. So, I'm coasting through Chem I now with a nervous teacher fresh out of school (she accidentally wrote 4 + 4 = 4 on the board yesterday), and my lab partner knows English as a second language and is sweet, but I end up staying about an hour later in lab everyday to translate the material for him and I don't always have the patience for it. Serenity. NOW.

Making some Asian Salmon and another batch of The Best Broccoli Ever tonight pre-show. Hopefully donuts post-Cursive :)

Warning: This Post Not Safe For Dieters

A fantastic weekend hanging out with Christine, The McIsley at Pine State Biscuits, and Banana Bread at Saint Cupcake.

Green Pinky

Meet Big Bertha, my new basil plant. When faced with whether to buy $3 cut basil or a $4 plant, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to see if I can keep a plant alive. Pray for Bertha, she'll need it.

Yoga It Up

Dreaming of a new mat, maybe like these from Gaiam...

Inspiration Up

Until Up was released, I completely forgot about a local stubborn house right in Seattle. Click on the above image to read about Edith Macefield's holdout until her death, and view five other stubborn houses at Deputy Dog. I like these people's tenancity, even when $1 million (and a Trader Joe's!) is on the table.

Upcoming: HBO's "Bored to Death"

HBO's latest features Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, and Ted Danson, which seems like a killer team. Basically Schwartzman decides that because he's read detective novels since he was a kid, he knows enough to be one, but the trailer doesn't seem to do the cool setup justice. But with a cameo by Parker Posey, I'm definitely intrigued.
