  • Red velvet has a more buttery flavor than a normal vanilla cake because it uses buttermilk in the recipe, and it has slight chocolate undertones from the small amount of cocoa powder added. The "red" just comes from the fact that you throw in some red food coloring. Makes it pretty! :) It's paired with cream cheese…
  • Self-employed baker. 'Nuff said. Don't mean to toot my own horn, but I make some mean cakes. My favorite combos: apple cake w/ caramel buttercream, dark chocolate cake w/ white chocolate ganache and buttercream, and red velvet cake w/ cream cheese frosting. My boyfriend and business partner could live off of pumpkin spice…
  • Baalrog? Beelzebub? Asmodeus? Azazel? Xerxes?
  • I toss them in the laundry after 3 wears. I wash them in the machine on delicate, but then hang them to dry. It doesn't matter if I clasp them before I toss them in the dryer; they always come undone and the clasps get all damn tangled in pant legs and mesh fabrics, and then they get stretched out or lacey bits get torn. I…
  • I nicknamed my boyfriend "Puppy" for a reason. In general, he has an incessant need to get into everything (like a puppy), but his favorite thing to do is just, well, SMELL stuff (like a puppy). I get so annoyed trying to cook and he comes out of nowhere to push me aside and sniff the contents of the pan/pot/bowl/whatever.…
  • She:kon! I've posted my success story before, but here is my contribution to fellow Natives looking for inspiration. I started my journey last year in January. I was carrying around 160 lbs on my small, 5'1" frame. I had struggled with severe self-esteem issues since I started putting on weight when I was around 12 year…
  • I still have 2% cow's milk with my desserts, but I found when I severely reduced my intake (I used to drink at least 3 glasses a day!), I broke through a previous weight loss plateau. When I lost the weight, I just maintained with the almond milk because a) I was accustomed to it, and b) it's lower cal, so hey, I get to…
  • I made these bad boys. :devil: As well as a whole slew of other flavors like Boston Cream, Lemon Meringue, and Pumpkin Pie. I f$%@ing LOVE my job. Yes, there is pie filling inside that cupcake. APPLE pie filling. Best holiday ever. [img]http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q758/Kitty-Violet/Pandora…

  • What used to, and definitely still does, stop me is a little Japanese place called Teriyaki. I swear they put crack in their sauce; it's SOOOOO good! Nowadays, I take my dishes without the white rice and get extra veggies to fill up on instead. They also cook with water instead of oil so it's a plus for me! Now on the…
  • Some interesting last names you'll find around the rez: Deer Rice Mayo Standup Foote Two-Axe Canadian Now a story that involved someone from the Canadian family: a baby girl was due and the father, in all seriousness, suggested "Iam" as her first name... *headdesk* Thankfully, it didn't happen. Also, some lady names from…
  • Over $30 with tip for one person is expensive for me, but I also stick to water 95% of the time so I can stay under fairly well at regular restos (and eat to my hearts content :heart: ).
  • WAT. Just... WAAAAAT????? I think... I think my IQ just took a 5 point hit from reading that. O_____O
  • No longer having an extra layer of padding over your skeletal structure, so now whenever you bang a hipbone against a doorknob, the whole house knows. T.T
  • YOLO. Any and all YOLOers within earshot will be mauled by rabid wolverines. So, I guess you can they were right...
  • When I buy one of those huge $10 bags of frozen shrimp, I toss together some cornstarch (or flour), black pepper, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Coat all the shrimp with the starch mixture and fry on both sides in oil (I use extra virgin olive oil) until you get a nice brown crust. I make a homemade lemon garlic soy…
  • My quick options for workout mornings: Brown toast w/ PB, fruit (apple, orange, blueberries, etc.) Yogurt, fruit Portioned cereal w/ almond milk When I sleep in and have time to cook breakfast, I make some form of eggs (over easy or scrambled), some kind of meat (slice of ham, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausages, etc.), and…
