This was Sunday’s dish. This recipe is one that we used to have, but somehow lost. Therefore we needed to try out a new one. I think this one was a bit of a hit. Two out of three Italians approved this dish, and if there hadn’t been so much white pepper I think all three would have given it a thumbs up. I really liked it although truth be told I may have overdone it with the white pepper. If you are unfamiliar with white pepper, it is about the peppery-ness of twice as much black pepper. So maybe don’t be as heavy handed with then pepper as I was and you’ll have better results. I also used regular worcheshire sauce instead and I thought the flavor was fine, it was just the spice that needed improving. I give this dish three stars.

I have been eating healthier with my family, and here is one of the recipes that I made last week. It wasn’t such a hit with the family, although I liked it. The chicken marinade was common ground, everyone liked the chicken, I used plain Greek yogurt instead of regular plain yogurt and I liked the taste and texture of it. I loved the salsa, it was spicy, but the lemons counteracted and it was really nice. My family was not as fond of the salsa, they thought it was too sour. I only used about five lemons instead of the suggested eight, but maybe still you may want to add more cucumber or sugar to it to soften it a little. Overall I give this dish three stars.

This was Tuesdays’ dish and boy was it good. If you are a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, this dish is for you. It was fantastic, I loved the flavors of it. You can make this dish as spicy as you like it. Ours was kind of spicy from the red pepper flakes, but you could nix those all together and it would be just as good. For the pasta I used farfalla and I think it was a perfect choice, the shape of it held a lot of the sauce in (which was the best part). I would definitely make this dish again, four stars.

As anyone who has taken either World Cult/World Lit or AP Studio Art can tell you, it is a stressful time full of wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) art. In Cult/Lit we call it the “Art Blitz”. Recently, as I am taking AP Art now, I have once more returned to an art blitz. I am making new pieces everyday, and the consequence of this will be me flooding the internet with some experimental pieces of mine. Don’t judge, just kidding judge all you want. Anyway I hope you enjoy whatever the fruits of my labour be.

I’m a Disney princess!

I drew this on my iPad when I got my new stylus, I was impressed with the outcome.

I have recently gotten an iPad 2 and like many others before me have fallen in love. From the moment I downloaded my first app, I knew that this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I am leaving for vacation in the next few days and found my new purchase to be just what I need. It helps me make lists for packing and take videos documenting my daily life. It is so easy to carry around and I find myself almost not able to put it down. Beware of this “apple vortex”, as I call it. Once you purchase a new apple product you will be sucked in until you know every facet and flaw of your new machine. I find myself spending hours with whatever new purchase I have and not realizing how fast time is ticking by. All in all I would highly recommend the iPad, if you have the need/want for one.
