Culinary School: Where Art Thou

    Let me start off by asking: Who has made and KEPT their new years resolutions? I have to say that my resolution was to lose some weight and eat healthier. I have actually been doing a pretty good job of this, but this week is a different story. I have lost five pounds since the beginning of the year though so I am on a role.

    I knew going into this week that it was going to be a calorific week. Heck we have Valentines and if you know me personally, you probably know the enthusiasm I have for my birthday coming up. Guess what? Unlike high school where I reminded people of my birthday two months in advance, this year it was only two weeks!!! Yay me!!!

   Last week I was at the apartment that I stay at every once in a while. I always want something really good to eat when I come home. My mom decided to get muffins for me. Yes, I know it was the day before valentine's, but heck, I wanted something good. lol Mom got the muffins and i was happy.

    On Valentine's day our teachers had a surprise pancake breakfast for us at school. We had pancakes and opened valentine's. If anyone knows me well, you will totally understand this valentine's that made my day!!!



    Sometime this week, my mom decided to make a cake, but no she didn't make it, I had to make it. If you have ever seen me flour a cake pan, you have probably laughed your butt off. Mom decided she was going to have me make a cake, but not only that, but she wanted me to make it while she was out at the store. I got the spray out, sprayed the pan and then came the flour. I can't bake or cook for the life of me. I got the flour out and had to call my brother down. I specifically told my mom I couldn't do it and asked her if she remembers the last time I did this task. L came down to help me and immediately reminds me of this time. I am sitting here thinking, "Great he remembers it and mom can't" I can not bake a cake. I can't get the sides of the pan done. I make the cake, pour it in the pan and by accident, the bowl goes in the pan. There goes the cake batter' right on the bowl.  I need some culinary help!!! Where is my help??? lol

    Last night  we ended up making cake balls that as far as my teachers now really don't exist. I was going to make them for school, but today's schedule really got messed up. the balls were going to be for my birthday celebration. Mom and I made them last night.



    At least I can make cake balls!!! Ta da!!!

But I Can and No One Will Stop Me!

       I got off of the bus one afternoon during my middle school years to see an elaborately decorated yellow car sitting in my driveway. I...
