Life and Times: Cooking

I love cooking, I can do it every day. For some reason it calms me and makes me happy. One of my earliest memories as a child is being in the kitchen with my grandmother. Just watching her and how making sure the people she loved were fed made her happy. I learned from her that no matter what the task was if it made someone she loved happy it was worth it. Cooking was that for her. So I picked the task and ran with it. Not everything I cook is a success but like most things in life, it is a trail and error type of situation. I try new recipes every once and a while. During this past holiday season I took on a spinach quiche.


Success!







I also tried Brownie cookies.


Work in progress. I really don't think desserts are my thing but I will keep trying.

K-liners

L: I want to be a jet setter and go to exotic places. Do you think going to exotic places make you an exotic person….hmmmm…..probably not.

K: No it makes you broke

L: Maybe when it is no longer a baby I will baby sit. Between the ages of 3-11 I am your girl……no teenagers don’t like them until they are like 20. Haha…….maybe a newborn that doesn’t cry to the age of 1. Just saying…..But your kid might be funny so it could be up for discussion.

K: Wait? Are you judging on babysitting my kids on how funny they are?

Lifes and Times: Garderning

The last two years I have started this plant collection. It started off with just two plants my Aunt asked me to keep after a visit because she couldn't take them back to Texas. Since then I have been trying my best not to kill them and I will not be defeated. There has been some loses but still the collection has been getting bigger. Now that I am getting to be serious about not killing plants maybe I should look into learning more about gardening and plant care.


This is Violet my roommates bought her for my birthday and I planted her in the back yard. I don't know if that is okay with the owners but who doesn't like flowers.










This is Mulan . I was told by my roommate's mother that she was hard to kill. We will see how long she last under my care.








This is Gladys she was given to me by a friend (Hi Rachel). I have been doing a good job taking care of her if I say so myself. She requires a lot more attention then I am used to but she seems happy, right.





This was Shelia she seems to still be making it though her color has changed and she no longer grows. I'm not going to give up on her but I have no idea how to fix her. By the way the lady that I bought her from claimed that she wouldn't require a lot of care or water. She lied.





Lastly, this is Gloria she is truly a survivor she was one of the first two plants I was given and I have yet to kill her. She has gotten smaller but still alive.
