Something about that strikes me as weird. But! Regardless, we made a pie for mother's day and it was DELICIOUS.
My mom gave up sugar (I'm talking all sugar. ALL -A klondike bar makes her nauseous- SUGAR) in january so it was kind of a challenge to find a recipe for a pie that was actually kind of appetizing sounding, not that I even know how to tell if a random bunch of ingredients sound appetizing. I used this recipe: sugarless apple pie recipe.
Basically though, it had a picture so I picked it.
So we had everything except the frozen apple juice and the pie crust. We go to the store: NO SUGARLESS APPLE JUICE. what the hell nationwide grocery store that shall remain nameless. we got the kind with only 28g sugar. FINE. I'm already mad my pie shall have sugar. We storm off to the frozen section and BAM NO PIE CRUST IN THE ENTIRE DAMN STORE. I even harassed a random shelf stocker to go look in the back. NONE.
So I went to another store. SUCK IT NATIONWIDE GROCERY STORE.
Okay so it takes me like an hour to peel and core 6 apples because I fail at life. but then we get cookin and it's a breeze until we get to the part that says cover the crusts after 20 minutes of baking. At some point in my parents' married life, my grandma gave them a pie crust cover. I see this crust cover ALL THE TIME. I mean this thing is the bane of my existence. It always falls out and creates a ruckus when you're trying to get something from the back of the cabinet. LOW AND BEHOLD the one time we need it, it is nowhere to be found. Screw it, we put the pie in the oven. All fine and dandy.
Then we missed the timer because we were outside surveying plants in our yard. And the crust becomes puff pastry. OOPS. We decide it looks anemic and slap some butter on it and put it back in the oven.
We tried to serve it. and failed. WE'RE MASTER BAKERS.
Note to public: DO NOT TEACH CALCULUS TO HIGHSCHOOLERS IF YOU'RE EXTREMELY DYSLEXIC.
I swear I learn nothing because he says one thing, writes something else, and then get another weird answer in the next step. After six minutes of us trying to explain to him that hello, you wrote something ridiculously random (e.g. the time he meant to write 25,000 and wrote 180), he goes "oh yeah. it's just one of those days." EXCEPT IT'S ONE OF THOSE DAYS EVERYDAYYYY.
But he is also very easy to distract, which is great in a math teacher when you hate math. :) The other day we got him to talk about food.
Class: What's your favorite fast food place? Teacher: Taco Bell Class: What? Ew Teacher: I like it haha, but sometimes you know I'm craving Checker's and sometimes I'm craving Wendy's Class: Yeah okay Teacher: Sometimes, when I want to eat healthy, I go to Chik-Fil-A.
Don't you hate when you accidentally stalk people?
I was at a college reception tonight, and I, shamefully, accidentally stalked the director of the scholar program I had the interview for last saturday. OOPS.
My dad went up to him without me and asked if he knew anything about who got the scholarship, and he said he didn't know but asked my dad's name. And then we were mingling and I made awkward eye contact.
THEN omg. We were leaving but he happened to be leaving AT THE SAME TIME. So he and his colleague are on the escalator RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. And we make eye contact. And I smile. And at the bottom he says bye to his friend. AND OMG HE TALKS TO ME LIKE WE'RE STALKING HIM AND HE WANTS US TO LEAVE. I was so embarrassed. He was all, I don't have any information for you, but we'll see you in the fall regardless! And I was all, I really hope to GOD my hair is covering my name tag right now. And I HOPE TO GOD HE ISNT GOING HOME TO SCRATCH MY NAME OFF THE LIST.
I have come to notice that there is an overwhelming number of Chinese food restaurants in my area. I have decided to review them here:
China Legend: Delicious. Was more delicious with old owners. Recently discovered dumplings on the menu and will never go back to my old staple, egg roll and sweet and sour chicken. Wonton soup is the bomb diggity. Sakura: This is Japanese, but I will count it as such. This is the most delicious food of my life. Nothing could go wrong here. Unless you ordered the liver appetizer. Asian Court: Alright buffet, nothing special. Recently discovered lunchtime DIM SUM. Will DEFINITELY BE TRYING AS DIM SUM IS THE FOOD OF ALL GODS, NOT JUST THOSE OF THE CHINESE PERSUASION. That Place in DC, Tommy Chens or something that has awesome DIM SUM: AMAZING. No other comments. Fast Wok: Appropriate only when there is no other option than to take out when in a relative hurry. It is cheaper than China Legend and you can tell in the food, thus is inferior. Hunan Legend: Is relatively awesome, and a good place for large celebrations. It has a nice atmosphere. P.F. Changs: The most delicious of CHINESE chain restaurants (notice the distinction..Sakura is JAPANESE, though it is superior in everyway). Has delicious LETTUCE WRAPS, DUMPLINGS, and RICE. They win at life. But not as much as a) me b) sakura or c) tommy chen's.
