回家

發現
最近離家的悲傷
和對家的留戀
越來越容易地
壓迫在腦後
我想
這也算是成長的一階段吧...（笑）

日子慢慢地逼近
對AZ比賽的期望就越來越高
到底
會是甚麼樣的三天呢？

-1: Pre-Final

One day until my finals.
Stress symptoms showing-
Late night binge eat: cereal banana milk.
GAH.

I will dominate. FOSHO.

I'm Done with Warren Writing.

5:26pm

Current Condition: Operating on 3 hours of sleep, a bowl of cereal breakfast, and some frozen yogurt with granola.

Status: Minor spaciness, feeling kind of hyper. WHHOOOOOO!

Land practice coming up in an hour, followed by review session until 10.

Time to Sleep

Cherry Flourless Chocolate Cake

I took a bite,
...and was surprised by the cherry, which provided a nice contrast to the chocolaty taste.
Wasn't too sweet, perfect.

Yums.

The highlight of my otherwise very dreadful and tiring warren writing night.

Project: Pesto

My ideal pasta is not tomato marinara or alfredo, but pesto. I like pesto. I really do.
So today I decided to try making it, my sauce.

Pesto
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 cups of fresh basil
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
Dash of salt & pepper
Parmesan cheese, to taste
and since I didn't have pine nuts, I substituted in 1/3 cup of almonds.

Turns out, I didn't ground the almond as finely as I should have, but I kind of enjoyed the rough texture. :D

Can I call it a success? haha.
I think my stomach approves.

[022810] Project: Cranberry Scones

I've finally gotten around to baking those scones that I saw on Almost Bourdain. It was yet another successful experiment, but much credit goes to Mr. Raymond, who salvaged the sticky mess of dough that I foolishly slapped onto the wooden board without flour. (I didn't know!)

Lesson Learned: Flour- It'll keep the dough from sticking to the board. yeah.

Unfortunately I didn't get to document on film the platter of 12 golden pastries before they fulfilled their destinies, but....
YUMS. Scones with ice cream. :D

Not bad for a second time baking experience. From scratch, that is.

What shall the next project be??

Economy.Tsunami.Earthquake.

The title does not make sense, I know. I didn't know what to name this, so decided to close my eyes and name it the first 3 words that I see. It sure is coincidental that all three of the words are relate to some kind of hurt,

...something that I'm feeling from multiple parts of my body. Gah.

I despise feeling weak. I don't think anyone does. So with this ankle that's hurting whenever I put weight on it, I feel extremely vulnerable. It's hindering me from doing things, namely: run, Run, and RUN (even though I've always despised running).

I will get better.
