Remember these?

New toys from Target.  In my defense, I mentioned the pizza cutter here. It also helps that they were on sale. 

Testing, testing, 1-2-3

I'm testing out the Blogwriter Lite app on my phone. Hopefully my posts don't turn out wonky. I can't seem to add pictures to prettify these rambles.

*edit-I found the blogger app. It's much better than Blogwriter Lite.

Here's my cotton candy and mocha cupcake from American Cupcake!

Macaron-ee!!

The title sounded funnier in my head.

These macarons were from Citizen Cake.  I was very disappointed.  My sister and I went out of our way to try these too!  It's been a while since we were there so I can't remember (or don't want to) the flavors.  According to their online menu, we have in here: violet-cassis, raspberry-rose, pistachio, basil, curry-mango, chocolate, gianduja, salted caramel.  I remember that I loved the taste of the salted caramel, but all of the tastes were just blah.  The textures were awful, they just hard and fell apart when we bit into them. Oh, and they forgot to give us pistachio, which is a big no-no because that's my sister's fave.

These are from Trader Joe's.  They're chocolate with bits of almond.  For 6 macarons at $5, I would definitely pick a box to fulfill those cravings. 

This has nothing to do with macarons, but I thought it was cute.

I'm bumming it.

I'm fully aware that I haven't said much in a few months.  Just trying to figure out what the daily grind is all about.  And the proverbial "what do you want to be when you grow up?" thing.

In the mean, here's some of my favs:

$5 for this pack of macarons from Brioche Bakery.  The standard pistachio, chocolate, hazelnut, and rose.  Nothing to write home about, kids.

Caramel KitKat.  My sister found this one.  Taste just like it sounds.  Yum. 

  

Things I made:

Banana bread.  Look at that gorgeous color.  I thought it was too sweet, but hubs loved it. Meh.

My mom gave me a whole bag of veggies that needed loving.  I just imagined this concoction.  I forgot the mushrooms.  I like the pretty colors.

  

 Made this for my SIL's graduation.  Used leftover crafting stuff to do this while watching Dexter.  I'm all caught up now!

 Things I tried:

I found these taiyaki snacks inside the mall at Japantown.  they're 5-6 times bigger than the taiyaki I tried last time.  Something tastier about having bite-sized ones than these.  We tried the red bean, chocolate, and chocolate & banana ones.

I found Batter Up near my parents' house.  We only came for the desserts.  We tried the deep fried oreos, Reese's cup, and raspberry zinger.  We liked the raspberry zinger the most.  The Reese's was a little weird, I had a hard time enjoying the chewing through the thick batter , chocolate, and salty peanut butter.
