Mango No-Bake w/coconut milk

Aaaaaalright friends. Here's what on the list for today.

I'm going to do a Mango no-bake cheesecake topped with coconut milk. I was inspired by a recent trip to Sawatdee. I would like to add sticky rice in there to make it even more amazing, but I think this will do for this round of experimentation. I'm pretty pumped for it!

A side note idea:
Dirt Cup cheesecake: Oreo cookie crust with a milk chocolate pudding base. Topped with homemade chocolate chip whipped cream and gummy worms.


On a side note, when the hell is this snow going to stop? I'm pretty sure it's a stupid infinite rain cloud of the Mpls/St. paul area. Guess I can't complain, I got a snow day out of it. :)

Here's a little story of my day:

Because my apartment complex hasn't plowed any of it's private lots of roadways. I did this: 

Freezing/sweating my butt off for 45 mins, shoveling a spot for my little Yaris, some jerk in a huge 4x4 diesel truck idled thinking I was doing it for him. I gave him the hell no head shake, put my shovel in the spot, he drove away. Also some creapster is 'stalled' in the parking lot smoking for the past 3 hours asking for rides to the gas station even when it's two blocks away, cops showed up too. Interesting day.

But I'm still in an incredible mood. :-)

Enjoy your snow day if you had one as well!!

Cream Cheese Pastry

I made my first coffee cake pastry thing. Four loaves of amazingness!!! It's an on my gosh kind of tasty pastry.
I will be sure to make this one again soon and share it with my friends. :-)

Oh and I've turned in my Grad school app, waiting for approval of my degree and acceptance. Time to hope and pray. What happens happens, life has it's crazy ways, but it's always fun.

other things

As I've grown through life learning about friendship. Losing them and gaining them, we are not all meant to keep those that have been around for years. We clash, we fight, we argue, and disagree. Although losing that long lasting friendship is hard to handle, life goes on. You get to think about all the good times, but then realize there were more bad times. When it comes down to it we remember how they make us feel.

Today I felt a neglect, not only for me but for others who believe as I do. No one should be judged, by religion, sexual orientation, social status, economical status etc., we are all the same person with a simple heart.

We all need to be honest, truthful. No matter how much it hurts someone, the truth is the best way to go about many things. Without the truth we live lies and wish something could change.

Love. true love. honest love. We all need love and we need to hold onto love. Tell the people we love that we love them everyday. When we leave the house, when we get off the phone, when they make a good dinner, when we wake up...love is too precious to just look at it and wish it would be said first.

There is never a mistake made in life. Never a word not worth saying. What we do has been meant to happen. Regrets don't exist because truth comes out of everything.

Love is always the ending point.

hummmm

busy finishing up my grad school application.
There may or may not be a cheesecake this week.
If there is, i'm thinking coffee cake cheesecake of sorts.
