winter break

my winter break breakdown:

40% sleeping

30% cooking/baking

20% eating

10% food blog surfing

yeah...lots of food...

I literally spend hours upon hours drooling over mouthwatering pictures of food on foodgawking, tastespotting (thanks to nancy!), seriouseats, the wednesday chef, cannelle et vanille, livlife, david lebovitz, food52, the pioneer woman, pattycake, and other similar deliciouss sites...
oh how i wish i could be an amazing photographer and make delicious food and take hypnotizing food pictures..sighh..oh, and also have incredibly high metabolism so i can eat all of these foods without turning into a whale.
While I was in Washington, I also spent a lot of time learning traditional Taiwanese dishes from my grandmothers. pictures soon! (hopefully)


craving right now...

Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Fig and Honey 

chocolate peppermint cheesecake bars. (oh my goodness...*dies*)

oh yeah.. i want to try nutella brownies sometime when i have nutella. it's basically..pure nutella...YUM. seems to me like a college kid staple food.

polyvore addiction...

i really want an occasion to wear heels and a pretty dress. if only it wasn't so cold outside! (it's actually sleeting right now..the worst). this frightful weather calls for warm, chunky sweaters that i don't have. also want more feathery things! love.

currently reading...

A Clockwork Orange

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

...my goal was to finish these before break ended but that didn't really work out, of course. new goal. finish before..uh.. february?

stumble upon...

yes. i realize that i spend an unhealthy amount of time on the computer. should probably change that and go out and be active or something...tomorrow. 

for now, apparently english teachers across the country amuse themselves by making a collection of analogies from their students' papers. but these are actually hilarious...

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides 

gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. 

3. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

4. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

5. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

6. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

movies watched...
salt. 
hm...i think that's it actually. 
ok...movies i want to watch...
black swan (even though it's scary...)
country song. because it has leighton meester and i've watched too many of its trailers to not watch the whole thing. 
morning glory.
tangled.
the tourist.

also officially finished all three seasons of greek and lots of csi.

what a productive break!

happy 2011! (10 days late)
