Truffles

Delicious truffles! Made 'em myself! It was actually moderately difficult but hey you know it didn't look too hard. They were actually pretty good. Used 75% dark chocolate and coconut to cover it. Probably gonna try using something different sometime but until then.

I've been trying to learn how to cook, but instead it seems I'm just learning how to bake and make desserts (hope I used the proper spelling for this). Anyways, until I cook something else new, no new posts. Well, that's the most likely. ^_^

Side note: Urgh, finals are coming....

Halloween and midterms

They don't mix well. However, I was fortunate enough to not have any midterms around Halloween so I consider myself to be pretty lucky. But, this year because I was so busy with midterms, I completely forgot about my class registration. To clarify things, the way my school works, we register for the Fall semester in and around Summer and register for the Winter semester in mid Fall. Unfortunately, my midterms were then and I was focused on thoughts of, "I'm not ready for my midterm!!!" This led to me being slightly behind on my registration times. Don't get me wrong, I'm registered for the next semester. I will continue to be a student and make my way towards my degree so I can get a good job then I can continue on and get a better job. But that's not the point. The reason I'm a little unhappy about this is because of the schedule I'm stuck with. Due to my late registration, most of the classes that I wanted/need are full. So for the most part the times for my classes are less than ideal. I got some in the spots I wanted but others, well, let's just say, Wednesday from 6:00pm to 9:50pm doesn't sound like fun to me. Oh well, at least I got Fridays off like I wanted! :D

I'll take whatever I can get at this point. ;D

Thanksgiving Weekend

Just to be clear, I haven't got a clue about other families as I've always spent Thanksgiving with family. This Thanksgiving was like most of them, full of delicious food and good company. Though, today which is supposedly Thanksgiving day, we didn't have the traditional Turkey. Well to be fair we sorta did, but it's not quite the same. What we actually had, was some california rolls that I made tonight. Why was I making sushi? Well, it's because I was making some for my lunch tomorrow. So tonight I was spending a significant portion of my night making california rolls for myself, my sisters and my dad for lunch. I think by the end there was about 3 or 4 rolls left for us to eat. But then again, this was at about 9:30pm. Yeah, I'm slow, but it was delicious and I'm set for lunch tomorrow.

I'm SO tired!

Lately, sleep has been eluding me. Well, really it's me avoiding it a bit more than it avoiding me. Now right off the bat you might say, "Well then get some more sleep." But that doesn't really work since lately I've been leaving things a little bit late. So I end up having to stay up later than usual to take care of the things that need to get done. Usually this happens only on weekends so my Monday ends up all messed up because I'm running on 1-2 hours of rest. So then while really tired, I tend to try to make up for lost time on breaks and essentially any chance I get. This backfires because I end up not feeling tired when bedtime rolls around. So I stay up a little later and suffer the consequences the next day. This pattern continues until the weekend. I really need to do something about my inability to focus and do my work.

Picture of food!

Because I said I would! All of these were made by me! Since I made these there have been some more things but I forgot to take pictures so... I'll just have to try again some other time.

Test, test, test. 1, 2, 3.

If this works then I can get back to posting? I feel like starting this up again. So a late night test!

Also, Happy Birthday friend who's birthday is today! You know who you are!

Latest cooking attempt

So lately I've been starting to think to myself that I need to learn how to cook. When I say cook, I mean make a meal out of raw ingredients. None of this, frozen pizza to heat up and serve. During my parents vacation I learned how to make a pretty basic stir-fry which I thought tasted pretty good. Now I've learned how to make basic sushi. Well I wouldn't quite count it as sushi really. It's just a california roll. But I figure from that I'll be able to branch out and use different ingredients to make different kinds of sushi rolls.

Unfortunately, according to some of the people that tasted the rolls, the rice needs more of the rice vinegar/sugar/salt mixture added to it to ensure optimum deliciousness. I'll be sure to get on that as soon as I get another opportunity to make sushi again. Woot, learning!

Again, pictures later, I still need to take the time to figure this out.
