Amateur Cooking

SUMMER.
The very word brings thoughts of bright sunny days, ice- cream, beach umbrellas and sunscreen to our minds. But what do we get instead? Rain, clouds, and a hot/ humid climate to boot.

Any who, school's out for the year and yesterday I went to my friend lesmagnifiques' place. We watched Mansfield Park and attempted to make macaroons. This is what they were supposed to look like:


 
And this is what we got instead:
 
 
But as they say, "beauty is on the inside". They may not have looked that great, but they did still taste like little bits of heaven. Nice and chewy, and the strawberry butter cream was divine if I dare say so myself!
   
Till next time :D

NEVER GIVE UP

The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.



-Marion Zimmer Bradley



The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.



-Winston Churchill



Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.



-Gail Devers



Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
