It's a sleepy evening at home...

We ate some kind of noodle soup today. There were white noodles, snow peas, lima beans, green onions, cilantro, mushrooms, etc... all flavored with sesame oil and salt and other things. Now the dishes have been washed, table cleaned up, and everyone is lying down and relaxing.

I'm playing solitaire now on mama's computer. It's pretty hard. I prefer Spider solitaire.

Red, black, red, black... It hurts my brain, okay.

I have been editing my sister's friend's dissertation lately, and we are almost done :) Just one more chapter and I think it will be finished! It's pretty interesting, but just a lot of pages.

At my job, I have been making e-books using InDesign. It's kind of hard because everything about epublishing is new to me, and the version of InDesign I'm using doesn't take care of everything... like the book cover, validation, etc. So I have to do those manually. It's okay, though. It's good to learn.

Well, I don't have much to write about. I haven't even been able to keep up with my baking/cooking posts... Work is just really tiring, and I don't have so much motivation to bake these days. I don't know why. I bought a pie crust the other week but it's just sitting, packaged, on a counter. One of these days, hopefully.

Also, I'm getting my braces off next month! Hehehe. Finally!

derishus&nutrishus: Profiteroles

For February, I baked Profiteroles (cream puffs)!

Mama hosted a party for her friends and cooked lots of very delicious food: spaghetti, fresh salad, egg quiche, and more! For dessert, we ate the cream puffs and fresh strawberries. It was fun!

Making the cream puffs was actually a lot of work. I followed a recipe from our Kitchen Bible cookbook but I still had to ask my sister for help with piping the dough.

derishus&nutrishus: Spitzbuben and Oreo Cheesecake

I'm not a very useful person. I don't think I have ADHD, but I do have difficulty sticking to a hobby or skill and becoming good at it. Last year, to try to develop some type of skill worth having, I decided to make it a goal to cook or bake something tasty at least once a month. I've never had any special series of posts in my blog, before, so this will be the first! It's called derishus&nutrishus. Someday, you will be able to click this and browse all the tasty foods I have made. :) And maybe by then, I will have magically transformed into a master supreme overlord chef.

Last year, I did bake something in December, but I didn't really write about it here because of lazy. So I will combine December and January's baking posts together!

This month, I made Spitzbuben (berry jam sandwich cookies)!

Spitzbuben. Waiting.

2013!

Happy New Year!
