I totally said I was just sipping egg whites....

hahahhaha omo, I was /// I blame apple.

So I meant to say whipping hahaha. that last post was a recipe for devil cake, devil torte, but yeah, and apple wouldnt let me write anything else since i copied the recipe from a website, its called www.veitingastadir.is its so cool it makes you write in green.

Just joking!
but yes, i liked it because it made me whip the eggs, separate like. W said the cake was yum, but i think he is not wanting to hurt my feelings. I'm not much of a cake person myself, but i guess it was ok. The icing was great! it tasted like chocolate, and wasnt too drippy, but wasnt too thick or icing sugary.

So Mo asked me where i found this guy

think it was either kevjumba or nigahiga, totally awesome, I love his voice and mad skills.

Another thought!

the post about the book lovers, I am the "Reader of things you've never heard of" because I ike books, and think they should be read! so I buy random ones that look interesting and one day read them. Awesome.

Mo said she wished she were a serendipity screamer (or sumsing) and I'm like, yeah, that would be totally awesome! I would do it if I knew it would be loved (the book), but I am too worldly and selfish so i dont like people to touch my things huhuhu

Much Ofaz to you!

Love from NC!!!!!!

P.S. Top my all time favourite super star (along with Daesung) was totally in banff.... ..... (but not Daesung)

Book lovers

So an australian friend posted this, and I thought it was pretty interesting. do you fit into any of these catagories?? hehe


but as i slightly mentioned its a blog post about different types of book lovers.

'carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero' translates as 'Pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the future

Dum loquimur, fugerit invida
Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero

which translates as:


While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future


I am in north Carolina! and its super awesome great! its still warm! and I can bake as much as I like and its just a blastie fun! but this video is of a dude that i totally think is awesome, he plays ukes and gits and sings and dances too! so thats all the stuff I am pretending to work on while I am here in North Carolina! hehe I can tune an uke fer sure, but .... ... ... all that other stuff....... it might come with time.. if I practice... more better kekek

Iceland has a place in my heart. UNFORTUNATE!

haha people are really terrible at trying to be less than obvious. huhu


So people tend to associate me with cooking and baking, im not entirely certain why... but anyways, so When I am in Iceland my home is (I can live wherever my heart is, which at the moment is where my family is! but sylvía is a special case, she is like family for me, don't worry, we will one day get some sort of connection to make it official hahaha) Sylvía's house!

so a few days before I left Mr. H (a friends blog references all people with letters! I think that is so fun, so I will do something similar keke) said "make me some food! for the last time!" something along those lines, so I was like "ok, but not now, some time later, BUT YOU MAKE ME A CAKE!" and he was like "do you suffer from a death wish?" and I was like "always!"

so then Ms. S jumped in and was like "what kind of cakes do you like??" and I was like " I don't like cake" and she said "... What would you have at your funeral than?? or uhm.. your last meal.. or uhm.." Where I cut her off and said "I LOVE BLUBERRY MUFFINS! AND RICE CRISPY TREATS!!! AND WAFFLES!!!!" and then I pranced around dreaming of those things, because I LOVE them!!

Anyways a day later when i got home Miss. S was like "UH *Not very smooth* LETS GO DOWNSTAIRS!" so im like ok hahaha than Mr. H comes down some times later and they are both just chatting with me, its not unusual, I juct have ultra sensitive spidey senses, and Miss. S is really not very good at sneakery.

Anyways, the next day after institute we have WAFFLES!!! (they do it once a month in Iceland hehe) and im like " I want me some WAFFLES!!" but then people are like "*not very good at, but doing our best to distract* HEY LETS GO LISTEN TO MR. M PLAY GUITAR!" so I'm like "*roll eyes*OKAY!" cuz he is super at that, its great to listen to him play! but then i became tired of the children trying to stall me so I jumped out the window of the Ætfræði room keke but then i felt bad and jumped back in and they let me go to the waffles.

THEY HAD A SUPREEZ FOR ME!!!

they had made blueberry muffins, waffles, and choco/normal Rice Crispie treats! it was Great!! super super super! I was so pleased! they are the greatest! my favourites for sure (to an outsider being my favourite isnt very special or cool since i have lots and lots and lots of favourites, but to my favourites and people who know me, Its a Super Super Super!!! because I am awesome. huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuh)

and the next day I left.


I am conflicted! Iceland always makes me conflicted. I go there and hate life and be miserable but its so Beautiful, and smells nice, and the people are wonderful in their own ways!! Iceland could have me if it wanted me, but I don't think it does, i think it just enjoys my company, and that simply isn't good enough.

Icelanders want me to live in Iceland, but the only way I would do that is if I were to marry a fluent speaking Icelander (has to be fluent in english as well), I am not willing to live there with a husband who also speaks broken Icelandic.

If I were to live in Iceland, I would live in Hveragerði, its so quiet and the neighbourhood is fun, the Gudnassons live there! they are a lovely closetomyhouse sort of neighbours!

Anyways, then I flew away and I dont think I will ever go back again, Maybe on my global trip of dragging my husband around to all the places i've lived, but otherwise I'm not gonna be going back, if i do it'll be to live. So I am really contradicting myself all the time, but I think I am really good at that.

Well... I will leave it at that hahaha

cookery

So I have a friend who is good at blogs, looking and writing, and she follows certain blogs about things she likes, and that is something that never really appealed to me, because I think its a bit boring a lot of the time.

BUT I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND! she showed me this one blog, and I was like "ooooooo" but it wasnt really my sort of thing. BUT I love cooking! so I thought, I am sure there are people out there who are super good at the cooking thing, cooking, baking, kitchening, all that sort of stuff. So I have decided that I want to go and find blogs that are awesome about cooking! it will be awesome! and I will become a genius cook baker chef type! it will be great, I am excited.

So I found this cake, I really like the idea, but after seeing how it was done I felt a little vonsvikin hahaha because it wasnt as magical and awesome skill as I had first thought. hehe but one day I will try it, it'll be great! mmm i love not chocolate cakes! I prefer the denser kind, I don't like the light fluffy kinds of cakes, too non substantial for me. Anyways, toodles for noodles! be sure to share any awesome blogs about cooking that you know of! unless you want to keep them a secret. hehe

Love from Pennsylvania!
