shirley temple

i drank half of it by the time i took a picture... oops

i've had cravings for shirley temple recently and it just costs too much to go buy it at chili's (probably the only place that sells it around where i live) so i decided to make something like it myself!

trial one

lets make macarons!

so begins my official documentation of macaron making! i was definitely excited about making it (even though i've tried around six times by now)

revlon nail polish haul

i admit... i am a polish addict

i officially finished tutoring kids as of today so i decided to go on a little retail therapy at my local drugstore.

blueberry turnovers

blueberry turnovers!

i've always always always loved the blueberry turnovers in our school cafeteria. crusty exterior with soft and slightly sweet interior... i could eat it every day during break time (which i didn't...)

anyhow i stumbled upon laura vitale's recipe on blueberry turnover awhile ago and since i recently made nutella croissant with puff pastry, i thought i'd give blueberry turnovers a try (they seem completely irrelevant don't they... croissants and turnovers... but they're both made of puff pastry).

before i looked at the recipe, i always thought you could just fill blueberry preserves inside puff pastry to make these turnovers... but i was terribly mistaken (maybe they do that in some other recipes... but not in laura's...).

don't expire

the expiration date of the milk my brother and i bought today is the day i go to korea.

time goes by too fast.
