Random Picture Post

Lookit that, I finally uploaded stuffs.

Hawaii pics next time. That's 122 of them, so I'm just going to do the smaller 30 or so picture post.





First off, new haircut! That I've been sporting for the last 5 months. But it's new to youuuuu....



And this is Anira, the FairyLand BJD that I got for Sparks. She has hair, but no wig cap, so she likes to keep popping it off her head. Thus, she spends most of her time happily bald at the moment. Her bed is made out of a lot of our experimental technique granny squares.



I thought it'd be fun to show off my pile of yarn. Because I just hoard the crap.



It all "fits" in its tub. Barely.



The columbine that I bought, back when it was alive and flowering. It's still mostly alive. It's got one green leaf.



This is that "crazy green giraffe girl" painting I ramble about sometimes. No longer green. And considerably less "Silent Hill" now that I've gotten the hair on her. No where near done, but a WIP shot.





"My crystal. Go 'way."



The light was gorgeous this one afternoon, and she was staying awake and still and basking in it, so I had fun. These are the highlights.



I also had the ulterior motive that I really would like to have the Hi'Ardan ears be translucent, like a cat's. So I was getting reference pics. :D





Adorable ones of her and Sparks.









Falafels! Not exactly homemade (used a mix. Mix stays together unlike my own), but the naan is from scratch.



See? Easy peasy. I really like making Naan actually, besides the fact that flour gets everywhere, and we need more counter space like nothing else.



Nann also goes delicious with chickpea curry. The chicken is in there for my roommate.



The loaf of bread that amused me. Used copiously for eggs-in-a-basket, because well what else could I use the damned things for?



Red velvet pancakes for Valentine's Day. They were quite awesome I do agree.





And my first Whoopie Pies. Red velvet with cream cheese frosting, the dough reminds me a lot of really soft Playdoh. XD





I need to make more of these... :3



This is pretty much my go to roasted vegetable recipe. Veggies (here there's bell pepper, asparagus & mushrooms), with basil or herb mix of choice, olive oil, and vermouth. They turn out so well.



My first attempt at corn dogs! Baked, since unless my roommate's home I don't want to even deal with frying clean up for just myself. And the sticks were useless. Don't know why I even bothered.



Note to self: the dough expands. Like a giant corn dough monster.



I bought cherry pie filling. So I made tarts out of part of it. And I didn't want to bother with lattice work, so I pulled out my skull cookie cutter. They are goth cherry tarts. XD



I used the rest with my pocket pie molds. It's bleeding.



St. Patrick's Day! This is the corned beef and vinegar potatoes my roommmate made.



And here's my divine shepherd's pie. Man was that good...





And the failed whoopie pies. Mostly the fail was all in the frosting.



My first attempt on my own to make biscuits and gravy. Biscuits are from a can, but the gravy is from scratch. And was good, except I don't recommend using yogurt. Bad idea. Creamy, but it gives the weirdest flavor.



Okay, so this was a galette that came about because my filo dough was bad, but I didn't find that out until after I made the mix. And it had egg in it, so I had to bake it. I luckily had a leftover pie crust and just shoved the veggie, ricotta and egg mix into that.



Best mistake ever.



My first time making deviled eggs on my own as well! Oh, and those are homemade baked potato chips, which I nearly took off my thumb to make.



Cheddar scallion biscuits. Oh god so good.



Look at that cheesy goodness...



I'm using the cat tower for a lightbox again. I should just make a lightbox, but meh. Need a space dedicated to that and I'm just not going to do that right now. I like how these turned out though. The cheddar scallion biscuits with veggie sausage, and cinnamon apple sauce.



food is good, pictures
