Guacs and cold

Omg, it's been freezing here lately. Okay, not literally. It's just been so cold for me. ugh, hate it. I miss summer so much. I should really consider moving somewhere that summer happens 80% of the time.

On the bright side, I made guacamole. I love guacamole. My sister and I could probably eat it for every meal, which is crazy because when we were younger, we hated it. We must be so mature now.

Honestly, I know this won't be helpful, but I have no set recipe for guacamole. I mean, obviously avocados. I try not to mix it up TOO much because I love chunks of avocado still floating around in there. I also put salsa, cilantro (omg, lots and lots of cilantro!), jalapenos, any form of hot sauce (here in Portland we have a famous hot sauce named Aardvark. You should try if if you're ever here), lime juice, maybe some black beans? I mean, it's all what you want. And as far as how much, experiment! lucky for me, it's hard to get guacamole wrong and I'm usually making it for myself since The Boyfriend hates it.


I had my ER rotation a few nights ago. Sort of strange. I saw a young girl who was doing a back hand spring and popped her elbow out of it's socket. When they sedated her and popped it back in, it just looked so easy. I just kept thinking "Uh, I could totally be a doctor, that was simple". I mean, obviously, it's wayyyy harder than it looks and they've probably done a ton of these, but I was just shocked. The body is so weird.

p.s. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston

baker's dozen

I've been baking a lot lately.  Trying to keep my mind busy (always nice to get away from every day problems when things get tough.  I just lost an Uncle and it hasn't been easy.)  With that, comes a lot of food!

I have been trying to use up the potatoes we have.  So, I made some garlic fries.  Now, sometimes garlic can make me want to die and other times it's all i want.  These fries were SO garlicky, but amazingly delicious.  I think I just may be making them again.  Yum yum yum.



The second thing I baked were these Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies.  I don't like brownies too much, but I thought these would be good.  I've been trying to watch what I eat so I only had one, but I liked it.  It is definitely a acquired taste.   Some people in my family really liked them and others... well, didn't, haha.
