day 21 → a recipe

I have very few recipes that I know by heart, and I don't know that I want to share those. I keep every one recorded and stashed in my Mother-Daughter Recipe that my mother bought for me as a Christmas gift. She didn't realize that it's a blank recipe notebook that you fill with your recipes before passing them down to your daughter. Oops.

Here's one that I enjoy though.

White Wine Cake
1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
1 (3 oz.) box Jell-O French vanilla instant pudding mix
3/4 c. oil
3/4 c. water
4 eggs
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. Chardonnay wine
1/2 c. chopped nuts

 Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients, except nuts, and mix together. Spray Bundt pan and sprinkle nuts on bottom. Pour batter overnuts.
Bake 1 hour. 
Cool 15 minutes and turn out of pan. 


 Makes the entire kitchen smell delicious in an instant.

Hammurabi's Code

And other things. Hammurabi's for my etymology paper. The other things are for my friends. It's my genius  fault, really. I REALLY want to make a parallel between the hit show Friends  and my, well, friends. But we soon realized that the pool of characters wasn't enough to cover all of our friends. So, we started collecting more characters from TV show, cartoons, movies, books. Maybe what we need is our own original series. Too bad we don't have an objective third person to use as a narration device. I, as challenged by one of the said friends, will simply serve as the writer for now (let's ignore all of my emotional, delusional. and hormonal baggage that all of my imaginary audience is familiar with from previous posts). Let's start off with the easy ones... _____________________________________________________________________________ Coach Coach - Nick Kent if you're well-versed in the world of sports blogs - as I like to call him, has been a class...

So the conversation with my middle-aged, Chinese father went like so: "I remember the movies that impacted me the most when I first came to America" "Titanic" "No, Charlie " "Dad, what the hell is Charlie? I've never heard of it before?" a low-budget, 90s film perhaps? "nononono...You know the one with the 娃娃(doll) with the scar. Scary" "A doll? You mean Chuckie?" "Yeah. That's what I said. Scary doll, scared the shit out of me" "Really? Did you understand english then?" "哎呀(onomatopoeia of exasperation- aiyah! ) I didn't need to. So. Scary. At first, I watched by myself, but then I was too scared so I convinced your mother to watch it with me. She was pregnant with you at the time, I think. She thought the movie would influence your birth, but I was scared so there were no other options" "...So you risked your firstborn's birth to watch Chuckie?" "...Yes" ...

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2: Favorite Animal

My darling Bonbon the Chihuahua. Who is more bark than bite. Who hates small children. Who is my favorite 跟屁虫. Who is a small dog in the land of giants. Who does not  shiver or have weird body proportions because she has more dignity than your average Chihuahua. Love of my life.
