I hope it has been glorious! :) It's only day 44 into the new year, have you been evaluating your intents and goals for this season? I hope you continue to strive and shine.</p> <p>It's been a while since I've updated and quite honestly I have been over blogging, I lost the spark to update but you can always follow me on <a href="twitter.com/angelalovesfood">twitter</a> @AngelaLovesFood...there you will realize how truly weird and random my thoughts seem to be.</p> <p><strong>Other thoughts:</strong> Boxed macaroni tastes better when you jazz it up!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL3UvbmGI/AAAAAAAAB7g/t9g_lFLC30w/s1600-h/IMG_7147%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_7147" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL3w4v_jI/AAAAAAAAB7k/u0bPbg8WdWE/IMG_7147_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p>I like to add more nutrients and volume to food for satiety. I bought a box of organic boxed macaroni by Annie's. The direction calls for 1/4 of milk and to stir in the cheese packet. Realizing that I have less than half that amount of milk left (who would leave that much milk left over in the fridge?!) I added 1/4 of cream of chicken with milk to thin out, seasonings, avocado, tomatoes, and cayenne pepper. It.was.pretty.awesome!</p> <p>There were definitely enough for left overs. I am the queen of bulking it up. Stretching .99 cents for two days, is an accomplishment, just add volume!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL4Z0r8TI/AAAAAAAAB7o/TXScJxz-5dg/s1600-h/IMG_7153%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_7153" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL4_vCcbI/AAAAAAAAB7s/ALD9khi9HwE/IMG_7153_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p><strong>Other thoughts:</strong> When attempting to make Macaroons for the first time, it may be a good idea to do some research...</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL5KhEgwI/AAAAAAAAB7w/wEcrHQAh6y0/s1600-h/IMG_7199%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_7199" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL50FxqaI/AAAAAAAAB70/7UfTs-WSoTc/IMG_7199_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Because what could have been coconut balls, could potentially turn into a flat cookie. Not complaining, but I definitely sad that my experiment didn't work. It was pretty delicious nonetheless.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL6CsyboI/AAAAAAAAB74/YL7OMJv4N_0/s1600-h/IMG_7204%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_7204" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL6zZRekI/AAAAAAAAB78/F5GVTjOWPoM/IMG_7204_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p><strong>Another thought:</strong> No matter what mood you find yourself in, seeing a dog in diapers is pretty darn amusing.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL7mKpuJI/AAAAAAAAB8A/oLrz6zjvwfg/s1600-h/IMG_5721%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_5721" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TVhL8L3ekSI/AAAAAAAAB8E/xrM2h-z3nyE/IMG_5721_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p><strong>Thought:</strong> Despite eating five servings of <strong><font color="#57310f">Samoa cookie ice cream</font></strong> in a sitting, if I eat one vegetable, I've accomplished my goal of healthy eating for the day.

You can have for for dessert after breakfast, lunch, and dinner.</p> <p>2. To exchange to your friends and/or family</p> <p>3. Just to give as gifts or a nice thought</p> <p>4. Or to eat all to yourself! nom nom nom</p> <p> </p> <p>The best cookie I've ever made was a batch of <strong>Mama P's Peanut Butter Dough Balls</strong></p> <p>Initially it's supposed to be vegan, but I didn't have vegan butter or vegan chocolate chips, but still great nonetheless!</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPdrzY_2I/AAAAAAAAB5s/4vpbJA8ehNg/s1600-h/IMG_6977%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6977" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPd1tlmEI/AAAAAAAAB5w/U6LMFGQMr8I/IMG_6977_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Very peanut buttery good</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPeWy1PuI/AAAAAAAAB50/PKCCsOKbyhI/s1600-h/IMG_6983%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6983" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPe7xtcYI/AAAAAAAAB54/klpGlTiTkE4/IMG_6983_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>The dough came out very soft and airy, it was so nice to work with. After freezing the dough to firm up, I rolled it into balls, hence Peanut Butter Dough BALLS.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPfMAYDUI/AAAAAAAAB58/j86Losdw0vM/s1600-h/IMG_6984%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6984" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPfqrBAOI/AAAAAAAAB6A/vLuIT-ntRxk/IMG_6984_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Maybe it didn't firm quite enough because the cookie flattened a wee bit. It was so good, I am in love with the softness of the cookie. I think I ate three. It used to be that I enjoyed the almost burnt-crispy cookies, but now it's all about the golden outer layer and with a doughy center. mmm</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPgO3kFcI/AAAAAAAAB6E/PJqSXKTv8OY/s1600-h/IMG_6988%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6988" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPgh71xSI/AAAAAAAAB6I/Qf4zR_67A08/IMG_6988_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I used chunky peanut butter, you can clearly see the peanuts.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPg1uTYDI/AAAAAAAAB6M/vgqPjvAGIBs/s1600-h/IMG_6987%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6987" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPhRS7u9I/AAAAAAAAB6Q/_2EPHufCB_M/IMG_6987_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a> </p> <p> </p> <p>Since I have nothing blog worthy to post, I suppose I will do a quick post about things that I <strong>love</strong>.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>1. <strong>Candles!</strong> add them to any room and it puts me at a relaxed state of mind, there is just something whimsical about a candle that I like. It makes it enjoyable to have on my desk beside me while I am reading. When our heater broke, I seriously used this candle to keep me warm by placing my hands over it like a campfire. It also makes my room smell wonderful. This candle was on sale for $10 (originally $20) and it is HUGE.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPhknepwI/AAAAAAAAB6U/te91YNSbjO0/s1600-h/candlesss%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="candlesss" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPiKM_CcI/AAAAAAAAB6Y/IyJH45BuEL8/candlesss_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="182" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>2. <strong>Trader Joes Tree Tree Tingle Body Wash</strong>- I am in love with this body wash. After buying a candle and realizing how a scent can put me at a calm state, I purchased this on a whim because I love the smell of peppermint and eucalyptus. Man, let me tell you, after I bought this my showering time has doubled. When I would take yoga and shower at their facility, I washed and rinsed myself three times (hey! it ain't my water bill) just to take a whiff of myself! </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPiVv8zGI/AAAAAAAAB6c/sj17ucpM6wY/s1600-h/tea%20tree%20oil%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="tea tree oil" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPi9CEgXI/AAAAAAAAB6g/34nso4HMaeg/tea%20tree%20oil_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="196" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>3. <strong>Moleskin journal</strong>- I bought this journal two months ago (it came in a pack of two) and today I officially finished writing in the first journal. I am happy to start onto my next, I love the feel of the paper, how flexible, and nice it fits in my purse. It isn't bulky at all, it makes journal writing fun. I bought more journals a week ago from a japanese store, so I will see whether it matters or not whether it's moleskin that I take a liking to. I would say I have a total of five journals that I never finished though out the years, moleskin is the only journal that I finished writing from start to finish.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPjF-0bBI/AAAAAAAAB6k/byvACi6JkQQ/s1600-h/moleskin%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="moleskin" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPjs4KAnI/AAAAAAAAB6o/YIafsBDat8U/moleskin_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a> </p> <p><strong>4. Sailor Gel Pen .38mm</strong>- Since I've been journaling a lot, I have to find a good pen. The only pen that I really like are the ones I buy at a japanese store called Marukai on Balboa. It's the only place I know so far with a pen that has the thickness of .38mm. That is thin! I've used ball bens to write in my journal but it smudged all the time, using this gel pen takes pressure off my hands because I press hard when I write and it glides on perfectly.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPjwpiq_I/AAAAAAAAB6s/E16_RZAhp5M/s1600-h/sailor%20gel%20pens%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="134" alt="sailor gel pens" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPkRbzEyI/AAAAAAAAB6w/o-fjPixoGsw/sailor%20gel%20pens_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a> </p> <p><strong>5. Starfield</strong>- I am in love with this album. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPk_qIrZI/AAAAAAAAB60/vBoay7df1Qc/s1600-h/the%20saving%20one%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="the saving one" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPlKVgMXI/AAAAAAAAB64/pjyf_ecjJG8/the%20saving%20one_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a> </p> <p><strong>6. Yoga-</strong>  I foresee more yoga in my future, I bought an unlimited one month pass to <strong>CorePower Yoga</strong> when a really good deal presented itself. Unfortunately my month ends tomorrow, so all I can do is wait til another deal hits at <a href="http://www.groupon.com">www.groupon.com</a> Yoga is seriously addicting! I've sweat more doing yoga than I do exercising. It's because the classes I choose are in a heated setting. My favorite positions are the baby pose and crow because it really stretches my hips. My hips are usually tight from sitting all day at work.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPlY8c7vI/AAAAAAAAB68/S6gV98luQS8/s1600-h/yoga%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="162" alt="yoga" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPliS70LI/AAAAAAAAB7A/OnwrX8HVSo4/yoga_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a> </p> <p><strong>7. Babies-</strong> They make my heart melt. sigh. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPmACdOMI/AAAAAAAAB7E/glGnqQkAJA4/s1600-h/babies%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="184" alt="babies" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TSwPmdamp4I/AAAAAAAAB7I/gYINe6Li-sI/babies_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a></p> Angelalovesfoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09358770501623636994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911980680872031296.post-53575409880430986132010-12-10T13:32:00.001-08:002010-12-10T13:32:20.973-08:00scrambled morning<p>This morning led to a rough start because I was scrambling to produce an essay that was due by 11:00 am, I woke up at 8:45. Crunch time! I had no time to make breakfast, I had to hurry on along and finish my paper due in T-minus 2 hours!</p> <p>Last night I attempted to do my homework but I was just exhausted by the time I got home from school, work, and Bible Study. It was funny reading my attempts at the essay I tried to write last night, you'd figure I was drunk writing it. Anyhow! I got the paper down and sent by 10:00am. I work better under pressure, although it may not be my best work, but it's done! phew.</p> <p>Now I just need to look forward to my next three exams. Ew. Looking at the bright side, school is almost over and I do not have any more papers or projects! </p> <p> </p> <p>My cow-dog always brightens my day, except when she ran across the street to do her thang on a patch of grass this morning. I had to yell at her, I don't want to see her get run over by a car. It's a bad thing to think about, but it's reality. It can happen to anyone.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TQKcPHDSEoI/AAAAAAAAB40/o7CAMxxWsKQ/s1600-h/IMG_6947%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6947" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TQKcQ-itqyI/AAAAAAAAB44/eYDslslK6zU/IMG_6947_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Excuse the greasy hair and eyeliner smudge, apparently my eye make-up remover isn't doing it's job.</p> <p>After my paper was done, my mom treated me to Starbucks. I managed to get my drink for free because they ran out of the Christmas Blend I wanted, awesome. The same thing happened yesterday. I am pretty lucky.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TQKcRTL5l2I/AAAAAAAAB48/XPj8qmaTy6c/s1600-h/IMG_6931%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="484" alt="IMG_6931" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TQKcSGycsBI/AAAAAAAAB5A/HnT1_leXrg8/IMG_6931_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Breakfast ensued.

Yet the next day, the same pattern gets repeated and it's a cycle. It's so easy to waste time for me, like it is to waste money. I am working on handling my time and know that there are things that I need to sacrifice. That <em>should</em> be worth the sacrifice!<br />

I spend way too much time on facebook, reading blogs, reading a bunch of garbage online, doing the same mundane things over, and just find myself being BORED. It doesn't mean that it's bad doing these things, but it's best to do it in moderation, I understand that we don't always need everything to be productive every minute of the day. Downtime is always good too, even if that means going on Facebook to relax?<br />
<br />
I was scrummaging for my planner yesterday and I found it. I need to put that thing to good use, I haven't used it since August! I also want to buy another new planner I'd enjoy writing in. Suggestions? Or am I just wasting my money?<br />
<br />
I'm really picky and it has to be something I'd enjoy writing in. I've had countless of journals (more than five), but the moleskin that I recently purchased has been my favorite and I always want to write in it.<br />
<br />

I've also been contemplating on doing a media cleanse with a few exceptions, so we'll see how that goes. I don't want to, but I <em>should</em>.<br />
<br />
- After class this morning, I was sooo starved that I ditched my biology class and went to eat Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle). I was so starved that I couldn't concentrate, time went by soooo s-l-o-w-l-y in my stat class. I figured I'd be miserable if I went to my biology class, plus I have an 88% so I'm not close to failing :o)<br />

Round Table Pizza to be precise.<br />
<br />
I've never had <a href="http://www.roundtablepizza.com/rtp/hi/">Round Table Pizza</a> until tonight, and what made it even more special was that I got to share that experience with such an amazing friend. <br />
<br />
Let me tell you about the pizza, first of all I wasn't even hungry, so that's a good place to start. <em>You know why?</em> because <strong>when you are starving, everything literally tastes good and there's hardly any objectivity</strong>. But I wasn't hungry, and my stomach was hurting prior. But when I took my first bite. Oh my word! delicious!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvcE9Zw7rA9-A4AaL4Zgn7Y-oIFfHpMXs-q7XEGMVWBdv1bl4J2CBrK2H4K6ZF8Ill3TP_rC0bgYaIjEoM9m5gkHdkDSqbpy1v_6_q-3IaL8MLmouKAg1Qx0wZyPeMRmyrpNUq8a36lBjq/s1600/IMG_6621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvcE9Zw7rA9-A4AaL4Zgn7Y-oIFfHpMXs-q7XEGMVWBdv1bl4J2CBrK2H4K6ZF8Ill3TP_rC0bgYaIjEoM9m5gkHdkDSqbpy1v_6_q-3IaL8MLmouKAg1Qx0wZyPeMRmyrpNUq8a36lBjq/s400/IMG_6621.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>First half</strong> of pepperoni, salami, and mushroom...<strong>second half:</strong> Garlic Chicken with mushrooms, green onions, red onions, and diced red peppers. Little tomato sauce on both</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>I lovedddd the garlic chicken</strong>, my favorite. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the green onions made the pizza taste fresh.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I usually don't order pepperoni pizzas because usually the pepperoni is overpowering and salty, but these were thin slices of salami and pepperoni. It was the bomb.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Warning: this is a long read:</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">---I shared my experience with such a great person, Sean B. He is the president of <a href="http://iaomaimedical.org/">iaomai medical outreach</a>, so please check it out! and if it speaks to your heart, donate to their team because it is such a powerful cause. Sean told me a few stories about his ministry and I was so blown away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://iaomaimedical.org/wp-content/gallery/guatemala/0094-20091005.172004_5118_rsz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" nx="true" src="http://iaomaimedical.org/wp-content/gallery/guatemala/0094-20091005.172004_5118_rsz.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;">- Did you know that in some parts of the third-world country, when you have <em><strong>any</strong></em> disability, passerbys who pass near villages will literally abuse or KILL that person? it's so horrible. Sean explained to me that the <strong>parents of a nine year old boy had down-syndrome and was also blind</strong>, his parents had major protecting to do but they can only do so much. When Seans ministry came to help the little boy, they took him to the clinic and prayed that this kid would have cataracts in his eyes because WITH cataracts, you can perform surgery and hope for a miracle. He didn't have any.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;">But then later, an eye doctor came and put the strongest prescription glasses on him. Then suddenly he was reaching for his parents. <strong>What a miracle, this boy can finally see! </strong>Sean even showed me a picture of this little boy. Sean explained to me how stupid of them for praying that this kid would have cataracts, when really...they should've prayed that this boy would be able to have vision.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Prior to our meeting, I haven't spoken to Sean in four years. FOUR years! Out of those four years, I've gone through phone number changes, but I've always managed to keep his number in my contacts despite the fact that I haven't spoken to him. Well out of the blue I texted him because I was going through some personal struggles, a somewhat identity crisis. He answered and here we are eating pizza. I couldn't believe he was sitting in front of me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He also bought me a book before we ate, called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Captivating-Unveiling-Mystery-Womans-Soul/dp/0785264698">Captivating</a> by John & Staci Eldredge. So I can't wait to dig into it. Have you heard of it?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0S020pO379MXQsAKVKjzbkF/SIG=14fou6mdj/EXP=1287729358/**http://gospellightbookstore.com/gl/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/c/a/captivating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nx="true" src="http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0S020pO379MXQsAKVKjzbkF/SIG=14fou6mdj/EXP=1287729358/**http://gospellightbookstore.com/gl/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/c/a/captivating.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank God for technology. He is such a great friend, despite the fact that I haven't seen him in four years, he took time out of his busy schedule to see me and help me, for that I am so thankful. He is so good with his words when it comes to giving me guidance. I've learned new things about him and I am also proud and admire him in how far he's come throughout his journey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

IAnyway, I guess my post title is a hit or miss, unless you know what I'm relating it to. If you're lost I was referring to Willow Smiths <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvV3l-dbRTI">Whip My Hair</a>. Daughter to the handsome Will Smith. To be honest, I feel weird listening to it, because I can't believe she's 9?! Will they play this at the club or what? <br />
<br />
Last last Friday Jasmine and I made cheesecake. From my last post, I bought ingredients to make cookies, which we spontaneously used for the crust. Think BJ's <a href="http://www.bjsrestaurants.com/menus/desserts">Pazookie!</a> Which I've never had, but the calorie content scares me. Which is odd of me to say because I think this recipe I am about to show you is even more detrimental to your health.<strong> Rule #32 according to Zombieland (the movie)...Gotta enjoy the little things in life</strong> right?<br />
<br />
<br />
To make the dough, I used <a href="http://eatliverun.com/perfect-chocolate-chip-cookies/">BethT's</a> Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TL0LIKMg31I/AAAAAAAAB3M/6CdobA0VnCM/s1600/IMG_6541.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q6VbS96IFhc/TL0LIKMg31I/AAAAAAAAB3M/6CdobA0VnCM/s400/IMG_6541.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This recipe required 14 Tbsp of butter. Kill me now. The key technique in making this cookie is to brown the butter, unfortunately our oven did not work. So I found a simple short cut. Enter the mircowave, one of the greatest inventions ever.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The best part, chocolate chips.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I seperated the dough in freezer bags, I figured I'd want cookies on a rainy day (which happened to be yesterday).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then it was off to Jasmines house.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First we formed a cookie crust on a pie pan, then we baked it at 375F until it looked just about right (slightly undercooked) It came out poofy at the beginning and we were worried, but as time passed, it deflated.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

You live and sometimes <strong>never</strong> learn.<br />

Tonight I met with my lovely friends whom I've known way back from elementry and middle school. We decided to eat at a local vietnamese restuarant.<br />

I'll leave you with lots of pictures and a few words.<br />

Along with that, I bought a pen that is .39 in thickness so that it would be easier to fit my writing in such a small card. I am happy with that purchase.

Preferrably at a coffee shop sipping on hot tea with my iPod.<br />
<br />
I took a visit to Costco to find a Bible (don't ask, or do!) and saw a bulk case of <a href="http://chobani.com/">Chobani greek yogurt</a> yogurt and Almond Milk. I didn't get the greek yogurt, but I'll have to suffice :o/ I also didn't find a Bible, and if you are thinking <em>nooo duh why would they possibly sell it there</em>, well I saw that they sold one a few months ago and it was <strong>pretty</strong> and for a good price. I came out with almond milk and a bag of bananas instead.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you ever get nosy and glance over at other peoples purchases?</span> I always do that at Costco, and most of the time I think to myself <strong>"I wish I can live in your kitchen!"</strong> sometimes due to boredom, or other times just to make assumptions about their diet or purchases! "three cases of tequila, party much?"<br />

I wore this during sophmore year in hs all the time and paired it with a nice pink cardigan and pearly necklaces, then suddenly it disappeared.

<br />
I have been busy with school and the lack of access to my computer doesn't help at all. <br />
<br />
I have been packing since yesterday and THAT took <strong>6 hours</strong>. That was <strong>6 hours of being overwhelmed!</strong> I did not eat at all with all that dust flyin' around, opps. I blew my nose and there was dust, tmi. I am not even close to being done with my room, which is all I need to worry about. In fact, <strong>my room looks even more horrendous</strong>. The reason it took more than 6 hours was due to the fact that I needed to pack so little ( I am moving back home to mom! and there's little space) BUT I felt the need to hold on to things. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="260" ox="true" src="http://networkcairns.com.au/media/image/src/large/move_cartoon-1.jpg" width="400" /><a href="http://networkcairns.com.au/media/image/src/large/move_cartoon-1.jpg">(source)</a></div><br />
I realized that was the problem, <strong>I kept holding onto STUFF</strong>. Stuff that I didn't need that were just taking lots of empty space and dust. Perhaps when I get home I can toss my old theatre uniform from two years ago? <em>"...but it was from my first job.., ahhh!"</em> It had to take me a few hours to go back to what I packed and toss it out or donate. Eventually I just didn't care, but I still do. argh, packing :o(<br />
<br />
Anyway, a couple days ago, I got to see one of my favorite musician, <a href="http://myspace.com/joebrooksmusic">Joe Brooks</a>. I've listened to him since 2007, and fell in love with him and his music ever since. <span style="font-size: large;">Do you ever get vivid flash backs just from listening to a song?</span> A song that evokes distinct emotions from long ago and takes you back some place, a song that makes you happy because it reminds you of ________, or sad because of ________. His songs definately do that for me! It's definately bittersweet. <br />

I also purchased a pumpkin spiced coffee from starbucks for the second time this week. argh, and I need to remember to write that down in my <strong>financial journal. yikes.</strong><br />
<br />
*My mom actually treated me to the Pumpkin Spice after picking her up at the airport, but I am choosing to put that down as my own purchase on the journal, because I would've still bought it whether or not she did pay for it<br />

<strong>On Saturday:</strong><br />
<br />
You know dinner was a success 100% when your stomach doesn't kill you. I've noticed gradually that my tolerance to lactose has been dipping low. Now I can't have a sprinkle of cheese without feeling like my gut is eating itself.<br />
<br />
When I took Tums before my consumption of cheese, I hoped and pleaded it'd work. <br />
Ashley made dinner.<br />

Over the past summer, it's no lie that money has cause stress in me. I worked more hours, but where was my money going<em>? I spent more than my means, I didn't care, taking out $40 out of the ATM every other day made it seem like I was financially responsible (was I?), ...oh by the way, where was my money going???</em><br />
<br />
I thought it was time that I take initative to start being responsible when I heard my church was offering financial classes. <strong>The thing I needed was a foundation.</strong> So after tonight, I thought it was very insightful and I hope I can share the things I learn along the way. <strong>I want to be financially free mentally, don't you?</strong><br />

- I use my plastic on auto-pilot when it comes to purchases on little things, but those little things add up!

Since school started Monday, I've been itching for the weekend to come sooner, but then I remember I work on the weekends!<br />
<br />
The <strong>good news</strong> is that my school schedule isn't as crazy as last semester where I had to stay at school for <strong>ten hours</strong>. I now get off at a reasonable time and my professors seem really nice.<br />
<br />
The <strong>bad news</strong> is that I have been eating out more. Not good for the wallet, I think I could've bought a cute dress. <em>sigh.</em> I digress. <em>No more eating out Angela, seriously!</em><br />
<br />
So tonight, I prepped veggies and baked chicken to bring to school.<br />

From yesterdays post, I complained about my throbbing toe. You see...I stepped on a toothpick Thursday morning, now that it is Saturday (two days pass) it still hurt!<br />
<br />
I made myself a plan to see the nurse at school on Monday, but I couldn't wait another two days. I made it <strong>mandatory</strong> to go to the emergency room after work.<br />
<br />
But I guess getting a sandwich was much more important<em>? and </em>maybe watching an episode of Jersey Shore<em>?</em><br />

<br />
- I realized that if I would've in fact were to have a bad one (I didn't), then I have the choice to <strong>do something </strong>about it. Just like this morning, when I was frustrated with a situation, I identified what made me angry and I chosed to do breathing exercises to help ease the situation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Something that I have been worried about is getting enough rest for school, because my sleeping habits are weird right now. It's obvious that if I come to class rested, I'll be ready to learn. I <strong>LOVE </strong>sleep because I don't get enough of it. When I know I don't have to wake up early the next day, I am so grateful to sleep in.<br />
<br />
<em>"Sleep is a gift from God."</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <span style="font-size: large;">Rest</span>: The average hours of sleep I get is <strong>five</strong> hours, when the recommended is <strong>eight</strong>. What happened? We live in a society where we have technology that serves as a convenience for us. To give us things <strong>quicker</strong> and <strong>faster</strong> (automatic toliets anyone?) but apparently there still isn't enough time in the day. We still can't squeeze in rest, instead that goes in the backburner. <strong>I can recall days where I did not sleep at all, due to school, work, or caffiene :o)</strong><br />
<br />
-This makes me realize, <span style="font-size: large;">are you <strong><u>more</u></strong> or <strong><u>less</u></strong> loving, patient, caring, helpful, happy, and alert when you are tired or asleep?</span> Having enough rest will enable you and I to be the best you, for ourselves and other people. Also, it'd allow us to be healthy overall mentally and physically.<br />
<br />
- If our bodies suffer, so does our soul. Our body and soul are both connected, if you can't function because of sleep, your soul can't function too.<br />
<br />
Goal: To get more rest! and <strong>train</strong> myself to sleep early.<br />

Afraid and rattled by everything that surrounded her, she did not bark at for the first couple of months because she was neglected by her previous owner. After we decided to keep her, she grew comfortable around us and started barking. Her barks are obnoxious! but I love it because I was starting to worry for a bit when she didn't. On the plus side, she also gained weight because my mom feeds her everything.<br />

Literally. Yesterday morning I accidently got pricked by a tooth pick that was on the floor, and from then on <strong>my big toe has been throbbing</strong>. It brought back memories of when I got stung by a sting ray, because that's exactly how it feels. The pain is radiating throughout my toe which made the 35 minutes of my morning cardio a bit unbearable. <em>leee sigh.</em> <br />
<br />
I hope I don't have to visit the doctor soon. <strong>Then</strong> I drive 20 minutes out to my way to get a pass for my car for nothing, unfortunately THAT was denied.<strong> I realized in tense situations, I hardly breath</strong>. So on the car ride home I did some breathing exercises to help calm me down, but I was a bit stubborn because I wanted to be angry. <strong>Then later on</strong> while I was cooking, I hit in the head on the cabinet door. Doh!<br />
<br />
But you know what helped make me feel at ease? <strong>hot</strong> curried stir-fry on a <strong>hot</strong> summer day. Because I am weird like that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, another one. After coming to my moms house, I thought I had left left-overs. Nada. Ya know what? That's okay because it was so easy to prepare. I just threw everything together in a pan and <em>waaahhhh-la!</em><br />

Holy cow, I am sweating bullets and it doesn't help that I am eating some hot curry on a hot summer day. I am on a tight budget...at least til payday! but I the only thing I had on hand was a meal replacement drink which is for emergencies. It wasn't an emergency just yet. <br />
<br />
I had to get up at work at 5 in the morning with only five hours of sleep, after I came home to my moms house, I crashed hard! I took a 2 and a half hour power nap. The extra zzzz definately got my creative mind juice flowing.<br />
<br />
I looked around the kitchen for something I can just pop in the mircowave. nada! ziltch...Then <strong>I saw that I left a bag of dried barley</strong> I bought a month ago and <strong>curry powder</strong>. <em>Perhaps curry infused barley?</em> <br />
<br />
I scoured the freezer, I spotted one <strong>salmon patty</strong> that<strong> I left many many months</strong> ago. I wasn't feeling it, but it wasn't the time to be picky. <em>I was huuuungggrrrrry!</em> oh but then I remember <strong>I left some TJ's Meatless Italian Sausages</strong>, I had two links left. Cool, something I can work with.<br />
<br />
And <strong>I also left</strong> <strong>a big ass bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables</strong> that I bought from Costco many months ago too.<br />
<br />
I seem to always <strong>leave stuff</strong> at my moms house. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>I just threw everything together and create a curried stir-fry dish, nothing technical...just easy.</strong> The barley went in the rice cooker, thank goodness for a rice cooker because I don't think I can moniter any grains on the stove top.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
No, skip the special k. I am trying to get back in the habit of incorporating six small meals a day, combining both good carbs and protein. A cereal bar really doesn't justify itself as a small meal.<br />
<br />
After work I was hungry. Snack #2 of this evening.<br />

But in hindsight, they're just spices. Or maybe I'm just lazy. But after realizing that I can grate my carrots with the magic bullet and knowing that I can buy spices in bulk and not have to pay a $hitload of $$, then I was good. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The only reason why I love it so much is because she's been neglecting me. B-word. Cow dog has been giving all the attention to my mom. Only because my mom feeds this cow dog everything. <strong>I remind my mom to not, I repeat, NOT give this cow dog <span style="color: #783f04;">chocolate</span>.</strong> Only because my mom is really obtuse when it comes to things like this.<br />
<br />
She scared me the other day because she poked a <strong>black widow</strong>. wth! I yelped and told her to stop before it bit her. She was like <em>"what's a black widow?". Uhhm, well something that can KILL you! women!</em> that night I left her house fearing the saftey of her and cow dog.<br />
<br />
One time we went to Target, and a policy they have is that they <strong>don't allow pets</strong>. This is a conversation:<br />
<br />
<strong>mom:</strong> <em>They don't allow dogs inside, hide her in your bag or just tell them that she's a service dog.</em><br />
<br />
<strong>me:</strong> (my dry sense of humor) <em>Yeah, she's a chiuahua in a dress. She totally looks like a service dog.</em><br />
<br />
<strong>mom:</strong> <em>What's a service dog?</em> <br />
<br />
<strong>me:</strong> .....<br />
<br />
<strong>mom:</strong> <em>What's a service dog? Angela, what's a service dog. huh? oh! pretty purse.</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Anywho. Here's my booch fermenting its magical goodness.</em><br />

I started the day dashing out the door heading to work, which started at 545am- 830am. I did not brush my teeth, comb my hair (not that it matters), or eat breakfast. By the time I was heading home at the end of my shift, I was starving and stinky. Oh how I wanted to brush my teeth badly :o( With no oatmeal and eggs to be found around the house and the lack of will to spend money on breakfast...I had left overs from last night.<br />
<br />
Last night I wanted dinner. <strong>I had two choices:</strong> <strong><span style="color: red;">A)</span> Buy ingredients and whip something up or<span style="color: red;"> B)</span> Go to the taco shop and buy a burrito!</strong><br />
<br />
I knew I'd regret the bloat and uncomfortable fullness if I went with the taco shop option, so grocery shopping it is!<br />
<br />
<strong>I went to the market not knowing what I wanted</strong>, I started out in the meat section and it was a choice between chicken and turkey. "<em>I've had chicken plenty of times, waaaay to many times. Let's take a break from that tonight. oh! the turkey is cheaper!"</em><br />
<br />
Then it was produce: Yellow onion, brocolli, summer squash, and jalapeno. <br />
<br />
<strong>Then it hit me that I should make... spaghetti.</strong> <strong>Not just regular ole' spaghetti,</strong> but spaghetti with copious amounts of veggies that you can imagine. I remembered my mom had one last jar of pasta sauce. <em>cha-ching</em>. But I had a hard time finding noodles, because the cheapest one was $3.29! <em>hell to the nah.</em> Plus I didn't want too much carbs at night, so <strong>I went to the check-out lane noodle-less.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Then it hit me...Spaghetti Squash.</strong> <em>Why is it that the light bulb always turn on towards the end?</em><br />
<br />
<br />

I woke up at 11 and contemplated in my bed about how I could've woken up earlier. I then got up and made breakfast. Breakfast always motivates me to get out of bed and start my day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Breakfast was 1/3 cup of coach's oats cooked in 1 cup of water and 1/3 banana, topped with 1 tbsn of chia seeds. That looks like a lot of chia seeds!<br />
<br />
I also had a refridgerated french pressed coffee and blended it with chocolate whey protein. Yum, good amount of carbs and protein to start my day!<br />

But in the end it wasn't about trying to catch up to the guy running way ahead of me, it was about doing my personal best.

I am planning on showering after this post and driving down south to buy a <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Verdolaga</span></strong> Plant aka <strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Purslane</span></strong> to add to my smoothies, they make my smoothies taste so wonderful and smooth. I'll probably hit up costco to buy a bulk of salad as well. <strong>My life is so interesting!</strong>Angelalovesfoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09358770501623636994noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911980680872031296.post-950518048069930712010-08-02T16:35:00.000-07:002010-08-02T16:48:15.379-07:00Playing catch up.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello Monday! The weekend flew by fast (except during work). Let me fill you in on what happened during the weekend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I got the chance to pair up with the generous and kind people at <a href="http://csnstores.com/">CSN</a>, and if you have a chance take a look at their <a href="http://csnstores.com/">website</a>. My favorite store out of their 200+ shopping sites is <a href="http://cookware.com/">Cookware</a>. Ever since I became a foodie, kitchen gadgets became something that I needed and <strong>wanted</strong> to have! (maybe once I get my own place it'd be kitchen gadget galore :o)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, once I became a <strike>food snob</strike> foodie, I can't help but eat in cute bowls and plates (for picture purposes and the asthetic pleasure :o) which is why I have been awe-ing over the plates from <a href="http://www.cookware.com/Dinnerware-Sets-by-Corelle-C61031.html">Corelle</a>. Check it out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday I was invited by Ashley to attended our friends sister debut. It was her 18th birthday that came with a lavish celebration. Unfortunately I had work until <strong>7pm</strong> that day when the reception started at <strong>6</strong>, <strong>but by luck my boss approached me and randomly asked if I wanted to go home at 4:30 pm</strong>. I happily said YES!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After work I headed to Erica's house (on right) where she did Ashley's (left) make-up and hair. To save time, I did my make-up at work and changed at Erica's house. Erica was nice enough to curl my hair with a hair straightner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For work the next morning I prepared a salad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In my salad: Arugula, beets, avocado, purple onions, green onions, and danish feta. It was delicious!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also found a <span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>Flowering Kale</strong></span> at the market, I am such a dork because when I spotted it in the produce section I was in awe and couldn't help but admire it. <strong>Any suggestions on what I should make?</strong> Possibly a <span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>Purple Monster </strong></span><span style="color: black;">(Purple kale, almond milk, and frozen banana)</span>?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today I am figuring our what to do with my <span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>flowering kale</strong></span> and seeing Day and Knight at the movies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also had leftovers from the Yardhouse along with red potatoes that I roasted this morning at 450 for 40 minutes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I added green onions and purple onions. <strong>I will never make that combo again</strong>, the purple and green onions didn't mesh well flavor wise and made me nauseous. So I just ended up eating the rest of the potatoes and sandwich.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What flavor combination have you failed with?</span><br />
<br />
- Today I learned that potatoes don't go well with purple and green onions alone. But then again, doesn't a potato salad contain two of those things?<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, gotta go get ready!<br />
