ITS HERE!

"You may be brave enough or strong enough to live without me, if that’s what’s best. But I could never be that self-sacrificing. I have to be with you. It’s the only way I can live."

"I wasn’t sure how I heard the low sound with all the other noises echoing off the stone wall and hammering inside my head. My own heartbeat should have been enough to drown it out. But, in the split second that I stared into Victoria’s eyes, I thought I heard a familiar, exasperated sigh."

Day 3



"The pack mind is mesmerizing. All thinking together and then separately at the same time. There’s so much to read!"

"Does it occur to anyone else that the only possible threat in the area that would call for the creation of an army is… us?"

"It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother."

"They stood out from the rest of the crowd, their beauty and grace otherworldly. I wondered how I’d ever fallen for their human farce. A couple of angels, standing there with wings intact, would be less conspicuous."

"If I had found you, there isn’t a doubt in my mind how I would have proceeded. I was that boy, who would have — as soon as I discovered that you were what I was looking for — gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn’t have quite the same connotations."

"But I want you to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are… well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too."

"I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me."

"It was against the rules for normal people — human people like me and Charlie — to know about the clandestine world full of myths and monsters that existed secretly around us. I knew all about that world — and I was in no small amount of trouble as a result."

類最大悲劇不... in other words, WTF.

I wonder:

I wonder:

{because by this point, I am very annoyed, I have turned on comment moderation}

on that note,

人類最悲劇不 而是沒有掌 有意義的人

The Drunken Chef: Supernatural Brownies

Hanna (my mother) is an outstanding, classically trained chef.
My cooking: ehhhhh.

But I do really enjoy baking and I think im pretty damn good at it, better than Hanna anyway.
You'd probably never know that because, well, I don't blog about it.

(I kinda suck at blogging)

Either way, I am obsessed with cooking/baking shows.
I attempt to imitate what I see/read.
And have you ever noticed that most chefs, (at least the good ones) are always boozin?

Confession: Sometimes, drink wine when I cook
because for some reason I think it will make me produce delicious food.
ridiculous: yes
fun: absolutely

Here's a little somethin somethin I whipped up today
{im home from work, cashing in on some PTO time}

Supernatural Brownies
{Makes 24 2-inch brownies}



Ingredients
2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (I use Ghirardelli bars)
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
parchment paper
 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan

1. Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.

2. Line your pan with parchment paper: bring the parchment up the sides of the pan so that there is a slight  overhang and grease with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

3. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and turn off heat. Combine butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over pan of water. Stir occasionally until melted. (Alternatively, melt butter and chocolate in a bowl in the microwave, stopping at 20 second intervals to stir and prevent scorching.)

4. Whisk eggs together in a large bowl, then whisk in the salt, sugars, and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate and butter mixture, then fold in the flour.

5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes, until top has formed a shiny crust and batter is moderately firm. Cool completely in pan on a rack. If not serving right away, wrap pan in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature or refrigerated until the next day.

6. To cut brownies, first lift them out of pan using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Separate parchment from edges. Using a sharp knife, trim away edges and cut brownies into 2-inch squares.

7. Enjoy.

Just put it on my Centurion...

Wouldn't it be awesome if we all had one of these:

Better yet, wouldn't it be awesome if all of out debt just disappeared?
I sure as hell think so.
Once upon a time I had one credit card, with a limit of $1,000.
It was always paid off.
Life was good.

Then, I went to college
$60,000
and I had to pay for part of a wedding
$10,000
Married the love of my life... and all his credit cards
$9,000
He went to college too
$40,000
We bought a new car
$20,000
We opened a few credit cards... together
$6,000
We're looking for a house
$100,000+

What the fuck just happened?


How did I go from $1,000 to $712,547,123,549,123,549?

Okay, so its not really that bad.
Annnnddd, I'm happy to report that most of our debt is already paid off
{cos im on top of it}
with the exception of some of the credit card debt, college, part of the car, and soon to be mortgage.

So, the goal (by the end of the year) is to pay off the rest of the credit cards!!
and shred them all.
{okay, most of them}

Wish me luck!
