Churros!

Sweet delicious churro goodness

I am trying these tonight, with a side of Craig T. Nelson in Poltergeist II. He is sure to teach me a thing or two about high calibre acting.

Churros and Hot Chocolate!

Check out the rest of the site... it's possibly one of the greatest places ever.

Later,
I made them! They pretty much taste exactly like elephant ears. I covered mine in both cinnamon and sugar because I am awesome. As you will note from the photograph as well, I
A) Worked real hard on aesthetically pleasing presentation. Carnations go real well with churros.
B) That is one green table cloth.

C) I've got some time on my hands.

These were super super super easy, except that I almost burned the house down because I put the oil on too high. So... watch for that. You probably shouldn't set the oil at 9 the first go around. Also, I only used one cup of oil because my ass is fat enough these days.
AS WELL, dear Internet, I am at this minute working on a new design for the entirety of this website. It needs quite a bit of tweaking, but it should be up eventually, give or take a nuclear apocalypse.

oh, i had no idea what they were when i made them, but the premise sounded good. i think the recipe is actually a few steps away from your basic playdough recipe... which is maybe not all that appetizing, but they were really, really awesomely delicious. they're sort of like donuts, only ten times better because they are accompanied with the smug satisfaction that comes with baking something that turns out halfways edible.

Oh, I like that particular type of satisfaction - "smugness you can taste"!

ImageHi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

ImageHey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

    • ImageI'M READING:
    Walking Dead:

      Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

    ImageI'M SEEING:
    Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

    ImageBOOK CLUB!:
    The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
