Decided To Do Some Baking

In Day-To-Day on 14 May 2010 tagged baking, chocolate chip almond cookies with 2 comments

Woke up and decided to bake cookies. I felt like such a noob in a movie. I went to go buy some ingredients and came back to find out I didn’t have enough flour. Fail. I rush back to the store and bring the flour to the register only to find out I had forgotten my wallet at home. Fail. Luckily, I had enough change in my car so I paid for it in quarters. Still…fail. When I started putting the ingredients together, I found out that I actually DID have enough flour at home. Fail. Finally, when I took out the first batch from the oven, I dropped the whole tray on the way out causing all the cookies to come crashing on the floor. FAIL. Also, partially melted chocolate is effing hard to wipe off the floor. FAIL.

But, through our trials of tribulation comes blessing. I was happy with how it turned out. I also need to give credit to Sue who taught me everything I know about baking cookies. Sue, you would be so proud. So here it is: Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies using half the butter, whole wheat flour, and Splenda. Delicious AND a little guilt free. HOLLERBAK.

Connect 2010

The youth ministry at our church holds an annual talent show called Connect. This year they were able to get Clara Chung as a guest performance, which was pretty awesome, but I was really blown away by all the acts in the talent show. All of them were solid and I enjoyed every minute of it. So props to both EPIC and NOW ministries for making this happen.

Star Wars: Uncut

In Interesting, Movies on 22 April 2010 tagged a new hope, star wars, uncut with 1 comment

Thank god for the internet. Star Wars: Uncut was an internet project where people claimed 15 second scenes from Star Wars and recreated it to then be edited together with thousands of other clips to create a movie “quilt” of sorts. I just wish I knew about this before so that I could’ve joined in on the fun. On their site it shows that the clips have all been claimed and completed, and I guess now they are just editing. I can’t wait to see the final product. For now, they have released this teaser.
