So I should mention that I am lazy. I should have just made an overall blog about my life, like many others I have read and perhaps I would have been more successful. I may still do that, I will keep you posted. It's hard for me to cook because I don't have any where to do it because I am lame. But oh well. Here are a few highlights from the last couple of weeks:First of all it was my sweetie's birthday. I took him on a train ride, and just as I thought, he loved it. The train car we rode in was from 1910 and while I was having a panic attack because the train was so old, the boyfriend was pointing out various historical inaccuracies of the train car interior. I'm glad he had a good time though :) I decided to make him cupcakes and I found a cute idea online so I used it as inspiration. Above are the cupcakes I made. They are supposed to be trains. German chocolate cupcakes, because those are his favorite, and mini marshmallows dipped in candy chocolate and pasted together with frosting. I thought they were kind of cute, the green train tracks are a bit much but black seemed boring so there you have it.
Here is a picture from our train ride. My camera ate all the good ones and I am very angry about that so I am going tomorrow to harass the geek squad at best buy to see if they can help me with that.Next is my review of a family owned business in Portland called La Carreta. As I was searching for pictures online I came across this gem. Reading the reviews were very interesting, especially the ones supposedly from the daughter of the owner and an employee. I don't know about all the things on that website, but all I can say is that the margarita's are tasty, the food is not too greasy and this...
changed my life. Their fried ice cream is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. Ok maybe not but it is really yummy as far as friend ice cream goes. So, although I in no way support racism, I do support fried ice cream so I will be going back for sure.Finally, I finished the book eat pray love. It turned out to be a very good book in my opinion. The first few chapters are rough because the author spends most of her time whinning about her failed marriage that she seemingly caused, but once you get past that it is pretty good. Nothing in the way of cooking, but interesting all the same. If you want to read a book about finding yourself, and more importantly yoga, this is the book for you. Otherwise, I would just watch the movie and move on.
Well that does it for me, I am waiting on my boyfriend to arrive with my ice cream because I simply cannot get enough and I need to start planning my next cooking endeavor which will most likely be my younger sister's birthday in a few weeks. I will actually keep you posted this time!
