it's a piece of cake

27.10.10

Hello loves
it's been a lovely, rainy and cold morning which i love, with a huge pile of To-Do homework, which i hate! But that's what tea is for. ok and a few chocolate-vanilla cookies (don't make it a big deal!).
Halloween is on Sunday (yey!) only i wish we had a pumpkin too! Daphne and i, are organizing this amazing party for Sunday which i hope will turn out to be amazingly good! Stay tuned for photos


and yesterday i spent the day listening to Miles Davis and keeping notes with my fav recipes of the month. I ended up on the carpet eating maltesers and watching one of the most epic movies: Micmacs à tire-larigot. I love this director and generally European productions.
Tomorrow i'm planning on making an apple pie for my mom and dad as a surprise! Wish me luck cause i've never done one before!

 Hello lovies! Unusual for me to post on Thursdays but finished early today and i felt like blogging! I wish i had time to blog, or watch your blogs, or read magazines, or do all the things on my To Do List, WATCH MOVIES (i miss that so much). Generally i wish this year ends soon cause i'm sick of studying. Yesterday was one of the worst days, but in the end a wonderful teacher cheered me up!

On Sunday i found some time and baked these delicious Mr.Double Chocolate muffins for my friends!
they were a great success and my friends really enjoyed them on Monday@school!



This week i feel like crawling under my duvet and never crawling out again. I dream of me tucked under a blanket on my sofa, watching Big Bang Theory, loughin with tears while eating noodles on Saturday nights. Everyday life has become a bit dull and tiring and all i can think of is a relaxing weekend on MY couch. nothing else.
i wish i could stay here forever

thanks to my mom, this so difficult period gets slightly easier 

Here is the recipe for those muffins
Double Chocolate Sponge
Ingredients: 
75 g dark chocolate, chopped--50g unsalted butter,softened--175 g light brown sugar--2 eggs beaten-- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract--150 g plain flour--1 rounded tablespoon cocoa powder--1/2 teaspoon baking powder--1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda--a pinch of salt--125 ml soured cream--100 ml boiling water.
Preparation
Melt the chocolate either in a microwave or in heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing well between each addition. Add the vanilla and melted chocolate and stir well. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt together. Add to the mixture in alternate batches with the soured cream. Add the boiling water and mix until smooth. Preheat the oven to 180 C and bake for 20 minutes.
GOOD LUCK!

Bonjour dearest people! Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my room and for those asking, YES it is always like that cause i am a neat freak and I love to clean and tide up. (so far, so weird!) i can't sleep at night when i know that my room is a mess and there have been many times that i've stayed until 2am cleaning up the place, just like Jane on 27 dresses!
Last week, i went out with my best friends to celebrate my birthday. And i have to tell you guys, it was such a blast! we had fun, played board-games and drunk milkshakes and tea! I am aware that for some of you that must have been a boring Sat. night but for me was something really special and fun!
But the special of that nigh was the....b-day cake surprise! The have planned it all, and i didn't even cross my mind this whole surprise thing! Oh, how much i love them!



one of the most sweet presents, but i already had it. Still the choice was perfect!


let's eat cake and be happy!

I got so amazing presents from all: a cooking book, a cupcake necklace along with a notebook with sweets on, a t-shirt with donut pattern, a wonderful scarf, MAC eye shadow and lipstick(name:Patisserie-how cool is that?!) a pair of tights and a dress. Mommy bought me some things i needed for baking stuff
That was all! and i am leaving you with a big chocolate kiss cause my fav TV series is on + i'm baking some cookies!

Good evening blogworld!
Missed you all and wanted to thank each and every one of you for your so sweet wishes!
   Winter knocked my door yesterday so, i though i'd better bake some cookies, while i'll be searching for the box with my scarfs. So, chocolate cookies are on! (the smell still lingers everywhere at home, something i could die for in winter) I so love this season, every little part of it and i wouldn't trade this period for anything. Time to put all my Frank Sinatra CDs in my iPod, find cool tights, buy a wool dress and a new oversize red sweater, drink hot chocolate without feeling guilty, wear my most treasured scarf...

So this is my room, which i love esp in winter time. made a few changes and thought it was time you see it too

Daphne bought me the sweetest present for my b-day. A mac shadow and a lipstick with the coolest name EVER: Patisserie (made just for me)
 TODAY: i went with my bf for my b-day shopping! Got two new dresses and a pair of blue tights so amazingly beautiful (i'm posting it next week). Been so excited this week even though had a serious deal of studying! I really love everything thats happening right now and i live for the day! What are you guys up to?
Gotta go and get ready! I am going out with the girls for my bday!

HURRAY! today its my birthday and i am sooo excited about it! I wore my best outfit and headed to school! Its such an amazing feeling, yet a little depressing that you're getting old. But since, i'm still happy that the first number is 1!!! Now i'm officially 17 (yes!) and...officially late for my literature class so, i should leave you! Saturday, i'm getting my girls out, for a casual night with board games at a lovely cafe! We're not in the mood for partying due to hard studying!
mom made a cheescake but put only 7 candles. (snif)I wanted 17...

dear brother and me with the cheescake

good evening loves,
here i am! survived another week of endless homework, classes, assignments and projects due yesterday. i actually found my laptop which was hidden in a secret closet to prevent me from checking my updates!(but that's what library's computers are for, right?)
Anyways, it's been a good week in general and as autumn arrives i feel happier than ever. Skirts, dresses, cardigans, tights, tights, tights! Today we had our annual Mountain Day trip at school and it was pretty fun. We had a pick-nick with cake, hot cocoa, cookies and stuff. Friends, talking, laughing, pictures..take a look!
