Addicted

Hi everyone!
*I can’t say ‘lovies’ or ’sweetpies’ because I realized that there was male readers too (but that never comment) ! Is it okay to call the males ‘lovies’ ????*
Anyway, recently, someone asked me if I was a raw vegan…I wasn’t sure of the exact definition, so I went to Wikipedia and learned that Raw Veganisim is raw foodism combined with veganisim (duh!).
So, a raw vegan can’t eat:
-
Food that is cooked above 118 Farenheit (Euh…see those burned almonds and coconut)
-
Dairy (…Ignore my consumption of yogurt)
-
Meat (…Ignore my consumption of turkey)
-
And of course, take-out pizzas.
I hope this clear any doubts about my ‘raw veganisim’ (=^_^=)
But I must say, in my family, we eat more seafood/soy products than meat (only chicken, turkey and sometimes pork). The only time I tried steak was in IP, and it wasn’t fully cooked. The nurse accused me of restricting when I said it was disgusting, until she cut her steak…but it was too late, I already ate mine and had the most painful stomachache. Curse stupid nurses and uncompetent hospital’s cooks. Back to the subject: I think that I can only be vegeterian, but never vegan and even less raw vegan. I grew up in this ‘processed food’ society, sorry. My motivation will mainly be the environnement, though.
Today I made my list of….
10 addicting things
(Not in specific order )
- Using cosmetics
Note: Do NOT buy Rimmel Glam Eyes mascara …it’s *****
2. Collectioning purses
My fave is the ‘Love Pucca’ one…I bought it in China
3. Trying new kind of bars
C’mon…I’m sure you have a ‘bar’ stash too!
4. Collectioning plushies
Say hi to Mr. Piggy!
I wonder where’s my Pikachu plushie…probably in one of 50 boxes of plushies
6. Creating oatmeals
7. Stereos (new hit: Turn it Up)
8. Blogging
9. Diet Pepsi and Coffee
Couldn’t choose between those two!
10. Dying Hair
Once you begin…you can’t stop.
What is your list of ‘addicting things’?
Off to dye my hair now…see ya!

SuperTofu gives me a lot of work

So…I had a pretty sucky Christmas. Very boring…
I didn’t get presents from my parents but my sister did recieve 2 books. My mom felt bad because I gave her something and didn’t have anything for me.
I avoided all the posts that were featuring Christmas dinner, gifts, etc, because I knew it’ll just make it worse, so sorry if i didn’t comment!
But here’s some things that are more joyful:
Colourful Raita Spinach Salad
Christmas colours: Tomatoes + Olives + Spinach + Raita dip
Love to use dip as salad dressing…x)
Tuna-Carrot-Onion Sandwich
Waiting for the other slice of bread to toast…
I heard a lot about Kashi Heart to Heart.
But if you are, like me, a sad poor little Canadian that doesn’t have access to it…
Kellogg’s Guardian
They have the same shape! Cute…I love heart-shaped cereals.
Plus, you have the extra Maple flavor!
Ok, and the added refined sugar and blablabla…but it taste good so period.
Apple Maple Yogurt Mess
Oh, how could I forgot?!
Let’s add a pinch of cinnamon…
That’s better!
At least, I *almost* finished my big science project on the ‘Environment Issues’. Like I said, I chose a subject that not a lot of people know:
Meat production and consumption
It might be well known to you, since a lot of you are vegan/vegetarian/health nuts, but for most people, it’s not as obvious as deforestation, global warming, boring stuff like that.
Here’s my work:
Recto
‘SuperTofu saves the world!’
Verso
‘SuperTofu is…’
Now…it may look like it’s an ordinary sign, but it’s not:
*Suspence*
Oh! There’s some hidden informations!
‘Meat production can cause blablabla…’
More secret informations!
‘SuperTofu is…the coworker of Water!’
‘About 40% of the population needs water, blablabla…’
I don’t even want to tell you how much time I spend on this stuff.
Okay, I’ll tell you:
-
Drawing/Cutting the images: 6 hours
-
Writing the informations: 2 hours
-
Sticking the images to the sign: 1 hour 30min
-
And I didn’t count the time for researches, self-evaluations, make a survey…
I know I’m too perfectionist, but I like to give to the teacher a good work. I don’t like being lazy…after all, you get what you give. That’s what my mom always tells me.
I had the choice of making a sign, an article, a flyer…My teacher warned me that she is very strict on a sign, because ‘it’s to easy and not a lot of work’.
Well, I think I have news for her…xD
I’ll go shopping now,
BOXING DAY MADNESS!!
MUAHAHAHAHA!!

Before we begin on today’s theme, let’s start with some bowls of Oatmeal…Why do I always have oatmeal in every post???
The Classic version of the ‘Melted Banana’ Oatmeals
‘Pumpkin Fruit Medley‘ Oatmeal
Pumpkin + Spices + lots of dried fruits
♥ Holiday Speech ♥
You know, guys, I read a lot of posts that says:
-’I'm scared of Christmas…I don’t want to go to that family reunion.’
It makes me sad, because I’ll do anything to have just ONE Christmas dinner! This year, I think I’ll have the suckiest Holidays I ever had. We won’t have any gift from my parents. My sister is more affected than I am, because she’s more ‘Canadian’ raised than me and cried because of this. I bought her a little gift, but it’s very small and cheap…not sure if she’ll like it. And the only gift I recieved/will recieve is pretty much the blogging community ♥ and Eliza and Maya’s pacakage, which I hope I’ll recieve tomorrow. ♥
It’s not the ‘no-gift’ part that sadens us, it’s the fact the we won’t be with the family or even in family and also that we won’t do anything this Holiday break: I have a doctor appointement the 29th, so we can’t go in vacation…stupid doctors that ******** everyone’s life. They deserve ***** in their ****** and even in their ******. They ***** and need to ****** because this is ******.
Sorry, had to say it.
Anyway, back to the subject:
Enjoy your time with your family. You can’t believe how much I envy you and how lucky you are.
Sorry, I’m not good at all in speeches…but I think you all understood, right?…No?
♥ Baking time ♥
I made some Peanut Butter Chocolate chip cookies, as requested by my sister.
Raw cookie dough
No, you can’t eat it now…but if you want it raw, try this recipe: Katie’s Peanut Butter Babies
Fresh from the oven
NOW, you can eat it 
I posted the recipe here but these are not for those who want ‘healthy/lower-cal/lower-fat/no trans-fat’ cookies. They are real, bakery cookies: Real butter, white and brown sugar, real egg, Kraft regular (not light) peanut butter (natural PB does not give the same result)…
I’m definately not the kind of girl that’ll deprive herself from having fun or eating in partys, just because the food is ‘not-organic/trans-fat-laden/refined-sugar’. I don’t know how some people can eat ‘clean‘ in a society like this, where there’s so many yummy, gooey cinnamon rolls and fudgy brownies. I wouldn’t be able to do this, lol.
I’m no Health Freak!
And I think having fun with friends is much more important than eating/not eating a cookie.
These cookies got an 8.5/10 from my sister, the Cookie Star Rater Expert. They were a wee bit too chewy for her (which means they have the perfect chewiness for Americains…we grew up on crunchy cookies), but if you like chewy cookies…yeah, I’m talking about those Cookie Dough eaters…recognize yourself??
I must admit: I don’t really care for PB in baked goods…I’m a Bagel + PB person.
‘WAAAAAATTT????!!!’, you said.
Continuing on the ‘Cookie’ subject…
So, guys…
What do you do when you have a…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
And a bowl of…
Yogurt
Plain yogurt + the-last-dollop of fruity yogurt
Sprinkled with Cinnamon
Bah, I’m sure you already know the answer…
Yogurt Mess!
Cookies are often too sweet by themselves, but the tartness of the plain yogurt takes care of this 
What are your favorite kind/brand of cookies??
-
Christmas cookies?
-
Sugar cookies?
-
Meringues?
-
Chocolate chip cookies?
-
Macaroons?
-
Flaxseed cookies?
-
Mr. Christies cookies?
-
Oreos?
-
Fudgee-o?
-
…
What do you like to do with your cookie?
-
Dunk it in milk
-
Eaten as is
-
Crumbled it in ice cream
-
…
I don’t care if it’s healthy or not…just be as honest as possible.
And before I forgot…
Monica’s doing a Heart Trive Giveaway! Yes, more cookies…

”You’ll get fat!”
December 22, 2009 at 7:12 pm | In Uncategorized | 16 CommentsTags: Almonds, breakfast, Cranberries, drawings, dried fruits, nuts, oat bran, oatmeal, pumpkin, recipes, Tea
I had, like, the weirdest thing that could happen to a 15 yo girl on a Monday.
I went to send my package for Eliza, Maya and another girl (not going to say her name because I want it to be a surprise! How cute am I??? xD) and then went to the supermarket.
I was in the Frozen Dessert aisle (don’t ask why, I know we’re in December). I spotted a ‘Cappuccino Swirl’ frozen yogurt (sounds nice, huh?) on sale. Then, there was 2 men, saying:
-‘Yup, that’s one cute girl…
-Yeah, really beautiful.
-Be careful though, girl, it’ll make you gain weight!
I didn’t know what to do so I panicked and ran.
Ok no, I just smiled and left as quickly as possible, but didn’t ran, lol. I don’t like talking to strangers, especially if they’re 35 year old pervs.
10 min later, I met them again. (Why???? That was a big supermarket!!) The guy said to me:
-’Watch out, girl, you’ll get fat!’
Duh?!
So weird…
I told this to my mom later and she was like:
-‘How old were they?? Did they say anything else?? Are they pervs?? What’s their fucking problem?? Don’t ever talk to them again!!! Did you talk to them?! I hope not! Did you??? DID YOU?!!? And why did they say you were pretty?! Did you approach them??!’
Hum, no mom, I didn’t turn into a prostitute in a space of 2 seconds…
I think…
I could be on the Playboy calendar…huhuhu.
Anyway. I don’t get why they said this. Maybe they are dangerous perverts that are searched by the police????
Ok, maybe not
People can be really impolite…but I bought my frozen yogurt anyway. After all, it was 3.99$ for a big 2L (and it was CAPPUCCINO flavour!)
But I’m still wondering when I’ll have the opportunity to eat it, lol. It’s freaking cold! O_O
First time using tea for cooking my oatmeal! Loved it!
I usually only drink green tea/ginger tea because I hate flavored tea…but in oatmeal, it’s so versatile and original.
Oh, and I added pumpkin to the ‘Christmas’ Oatmeal…
Sabrina suggested pistachios instead of almonds, for more Christmas colours!
3 days till Christmas!
I’ll be posting about cookies, so stay tuned
xoxo
I’m a Teamwork Hater

Hello hello!
I’m boooooored…Entertain me!
Awww It’s Holidays…but we don’t have anything planned. Christmas isn’t so important in chinese culture, I guess. But I still have something ‘Christmas’ themed for breakfast:
First time having CAROB chips! I love it, it’s different than chocolate chips, but in a good way. It has a coffee taste to it…I think? Anyway, it’s bitter.
I went crazy with carob chips:
‘Pumpkin Carob chips’ Oatmeal
It gets all melty 
At this rate, I’ll finish this bag of carob chips in no time.
I did half a batch of Sophia’s Black Sesame Soup recipe as a surprise for my mom! She’s the only one in the family who loves this stuff.
The big fat mess
Yes, it’s supposed to be like this.
Mix with milk
My mom finished it all
Rant Rant Rant!
Warning to those who hate childish subject…x)
Last week, at school, we had an English project, which was to do a skit based on a sitcom idea. Of course, that means TEAMWORK.
I. Ended. Up. Doing. All. The. Fucking. Work.
While they were talking about their boyfriend/future boyfriend and their boyfriend’s girlfriend or whatever.
I still can’t believe that I was typing the text while they were taking PICTURES with an Iphone.
This girl, A, even has the nerve to ask me:
-’So, are you done?’
My reply:
-‘WHAT did you just say? WHAT the hell did you just say???!!!!
-…
-’I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SHIT FOR HOURS WHILE YOU GUYS ARE DOING NOTHING, EXCEPT TAKING PICTURES WITH YOUR IPHONE, SO SHUT THE HELL UP!!!’
She apologized and said it was just a joke. Yeah…like I will believe it.
Anyway, I went to my teacher and told her everything. She said she saw it and it was obvious they were doing nothing. But still…even if she recognized it, I’m still the one who spend days and nights, trying to find an idea, typing the text, correcting the mistakes…I was so exhausted, I broke up in tears in front of my teacher :/
Yes, I got an A, while they got either a B or B+. But still, B+ is a good grade. And if it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t even got a D. Other people in the class, who really worked hard, also got a B/B+. It’s not fair.
Oh well. Next time I’ll take the girl’s Iphone and smash it on the floor. Believe me, I can do it.
Don’t mess with Vanilla. She’s only 4′11”, but she can be dangerous.
So back to my question on the:
‘Spicy Pumpkin’ Oatmeal
What the heck are those red things????
You guys were all saying:
- Cranberries
- Peppers
- Chillis
So…which one is right???
=> NONE!
It’s Dried cherry Tomatoes!
Just dried cherry tomatoes that are sweetened. Taste like candy.
I brought it back from China. I only have a tiny bit left…:(
Okay, I wasn’t fair, I used the word ‘Spicy’ simply because I used a lot of spices in that oatmeal. Ginger, Cinnamon…I didn’t thought it would confuse you guys :p
4 days till Christmas!
Our car is in a garage, so we can’t go shopping *gasp*…!
We are stuck in the house.
I have nothing to do, except this science project…Argh it’s like God is telling me:
-’The car isn’t dead for nothing…You must finish this science project!’
*Sigh*
I always have the feeling that nothing happens for nothing, you know? I’m silly x)
Maybe I’ll show you my science project once it’ll be finish. It’s about environmental issues. I choose meat production/consumption and the impact it has on the environnment. Much more original than global warming or deforestation!
p.s: Maggie’s Cookie Giveaway ends tomorrow! HURRY!!!

Brownies from an Angel

Yikes!
My WordPress stats are dangerously low. Need to post :/
I went to the ED doctor appointement, and they said the absolutely want to see me over the holidays…way to mess up my family’s holiday plans.
Bah, screw them.
It’s Holidays so I’ll stop thinking about this and have fun!
We normally eat chinese food for supper, because that’s the only thing my mom can do, lol, but when she’s not home, I like to eat something that’s not rice…x)
Like pasta!
Examples:
Spaghetti w/ Mushrooms
Chow Mein
…Well I used soy sauce, so I guess I could call it like that. No?
Pasta Cucumber Stir-fry
(Really refreshing because of the cucumber)
We can do so much easy recipes with Yves’ Meatless ground. !!
-
Cook pasta
-
Cook vegetables/sauce/seasonings
-
Eat.
No need to wait for meat to cook…that’s how lazy I am.
Oh! You can also use it in savory oatmeal…
Those red/orangish strings are spicy preserved turnips
The turnips/meatless ground weren’t great together. I’ll try other combos.
But when I’m really lazy, I just use make a sandwich
Salami sammie
Yves’ Salami Slices are amazing
Or just a spread some hummus…
Black Bean Hummus Sammie
Huhuhu…in class, we decided to do an activity for the holidays, called ‘L’Ange’ (Angel) or ‘Ami secret’ (Secret friend). You guys probably heard of this game, but i don’t know how it’s called in the US…Rules:
- Everybody pick someone in the class
- Give presents to the person we picked
- Try to discover your ‘Angel’ (the person that picked you)
Normally, I hate this game because every year, I end up spending lots of time and money preparing my presents, and all I recieve is a few little messages written in one second on a lined paper.
But not this year!
My angel was soooo sweet! Look what she MADE (not store-bought!):
Broooooownies!
For those who can’t read:
‘Bonne journée!’
(‘Have a good day!’)
I only had brownies once in my whole life. This was the second time, and it was better because it was coming from the heart!
Haha I know, I’m so cheesy…maybe it’s the Holiday Spirit?
I managed to save just enough brownies for me and my family: the whole class went crazy and were all trying to take a bite. So glad the bell rang…
I normally love to share. Really.
But there was this red-haired girl, who is a total bitch with me, but oh, since I had brownies, she ‘magically’ became kind (hypocritical much?)…Haha this is so childish, it makes me laugh!
Some bowl of cereals…
Blueberry Mini-Wheats w/ Almonds
Drowned in soymilk
Review: Kashi Cinnamon Harvest w/ Almonds
on a Peach Yogurt bed and a sprinkle of cinnamon
-
Taste: Not too sweet, perfect!
-
Texture: Well…like Mini-Wheats. lol.
-
Overall: I hate Kashi Go Lean, Kashi Puffed Wheats…But this one, I loved! I would definately buy it again.
Just for fun…
Spicy Pumpkin Oatmeal
A close-up:
Can you guess what the red thing is???
There’s no price…just doing it for fun
I wish you lots and lots of presents!!
…ok, ok, and lots of love too.

Well, the judge’s sentence is released.
I would make a pretty good medium…I knew the answer already.
Yeah, so for the next 6 months, those doctors can do everything they want with me. I’m their little toy.
For the next 6 months, I’m going to hear ‘You’re anorexic’ over and over. Even if they are the ’string‘ that connects me with ED. Screw those ‘We are specialists’ excuses.
Just going to get more bitchy with them. After all, it’s not a piece of paper written with a ‘we give the doctors every rights’ that’ll change my attitude toward them:
-‘She’s not kind with us, thereford she’s not collaborating!’
Let’s make it clear: I’m missing a class every single week since october to go to their appointement, how’s that not collaborating? If I were smiling to them, I’ll be more ‘collaborative’? Bullshit.
And my lawyer didn’t even call me after the court. She’s doesn’t give a damn about my case: just getting her money, that’s all that matters. They all work for the doctors, it’s so frustrating: the court was just a disguise to make it more ’serious’.
One of the excuse they use is to keep me is they want my bp at 120/80. My mom is worried I might get prehypertension: a bp this high is not normal for me, even for normal people (click). But who am I to say this? After all, the doctors are ’specialists’…Screw them.
Ok let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s really turning me down. My mom tells me to do as if the doctors were not here.
They are so mean, Santa will not give them presents this year for sure.
Review Time!!!
From Jee’s package::
Fruit n’ nut Kind bar
- Taste: Nutty, and sweet. Simple
- Texture: Nuts, nuts, nuts and more nuts! Crunch, Crunch, Crunch!
- Overall: Yumm-o! I loved it! You can really taste the peanut and I loved how big the nuts were.
And the Sesame and chocolate Kind bar:
- Taste: Well…imagine a sesame bar dipped in milk chocolate.
- Texture: Well…imagine a sesame bar dipped in milk chocolate.
- Overall: Who doesn’t like a sesame bar dipped in chocolate?
Optimum’s Strawberry Yogurt
-
Taste: Not very sweet, which is great. You can taste the strawberry flavour when you bite into a dried strawberry only. I love the taste of the yogurt coated ‘thing/bites’ (How do you call that?).
-
Texture: Crunchy but not rock-hard like the Optimum’s Blueberry and Cinnamon cereal.
-
Overall: The best cereal I’ve tried from Nature’s path. I love it and will definately buy it again.
I was shock by the number of people who like thin crust pizza…the joy of eating pizza IS the thick, fluffy crust! I don’t really care about the cheese, just the crust.
In fact, we tried another pizzeria…Boston Pizza:
Just by looking at it, I knew I wouldn’t like it.
Come on…Why is is so freackin’ hard to find a pizzeria that makes pizza with THICK crust??!!!
And Boston Pizza could’ve made a better job with the cutting…
The slices were…ridiculously disproportionnate.
I tried Pot Barley for the first time
Barley n’ Bean Soup
Pot barley, Kidney red beans, Spinach, Tomatoes, Broth
Really interresting, chewy texture.
I like barley
Next new grain: Wheat bulgar!
What’s your favorite grain? Oats, quinoa, barley…?
No new oatmeal creation this week, but some old favorite
Applesauce cranberry Swiss Oats
Sorry, problems with Photofiltre
‘Triple Orange foods’ Swiss Oats
Recycled image (couldn’t wait to dig in, so…)
Sorry, I really didn’t have anything to say ^_^
But my WordPress angel guardian was saying:
-’If you don’t give a sign of life, you litteraly going to loose all your readers, so better make a post’
Okay, I’ll shut up.
p.s: Heather is doing a Holiday Spirit Giveaway! There’s awesome stuffs to grab, so chek it out!

Picky Pizza

Hi guys!
I had a nice time with my friends. We went ice skating for about 1h30 before we my friend L got sick of it. Little toddlers were making fun of her because she…herm…doesn’t skate really well. ^_^ So she wanted to go shopping instead.
Omg, going shopping with her is suicidal. I don’t how someone can shop this long and hesitate this long about whether or not buy a pair of boots (when she already has like 5 pairs). We left when the mall closed and my legs were litterally dead, lol.
Shopping = The cure of every sad feelings
Thanks for the uplifting comments on my last post. Personnally, I know that the judge is going to be on their side, but a tiny part of me is still holding a little bit of…hope. You know, the kind of hope that you know won’t happen? Like when you buy lottery and know you have a better chance to be killed by thunder but buy it anyway?
Anyaway, a reader told me something I just realized: Throughout this ”blogging” journey, I really have made bonds. I glad my mom and I are talking more and more.
Right now, the only thing that’s connecting ED with me is those doctors. I want this to end.
I can only imagine what it’s gonna be if they weren’t here. I can’t focus on school because the whole situation is so frustrating, so unfair. I had a really hard time after the court (at home, at shcool, with my friends, alone…). I’m really scared of what’s going to happen.
On the bright side, my mom seems to get better. She started cooking again, yeah! When she wasn’t cooking, we ate pizzas and the family is getting sick of it. I must say, we don’t have good pizzerias around here. I missed her meals
Example of one of the Pizza
Ok…this is not pizza in my book.
Why?
Because for me, a pizza must have
-
a fluffy, doughy, not too heavy, at least 1 inch thick crust (this one was as flat as a pancake! BIGGEST pet peeve ever!)
-
As much veggies as cheese, or more (not tiny bits of onion…)
-
No green olives. Only black.
-
Lots of tomato sauce
But I’m not giving up.
One day, I’ll find the perfect pizzeria, that’ll match all my criterias.
I’m a fighter.
x)
How do you like your pizza??
Some dessert-y Breakfasts:
Yes, the melted banana is necessary in this recipe.
p.s: Credit goes to Katie
I saw a lot of Christians here. I’m not into religions, but I think there should be a Melted Banana Religion.
Nana God
‘Bluberry Cheesecake’ Swiss Oats
Yes, cottage cheese in overnight oats
Mitri started this trend
Recipe on the recipe page, or click on the title.
But I must admit I prefer cottage cheese savoury…
Like with salsa and toast
Do you prefer cottage cheese in sweet dishes or savoury dishes???
I’ll leave ya with a pic of (my last!) persimmon and some ‘Blueberry Muffin’ Mini-Wheats drowned in Soymilk.
And check out the amazing Grass Superfood giveaway and crunchy Kay’s Natural gievaway from Averie!

I’m a sad Pumpkin

*Sigh*
I don’t know why this is happening to me.
I don’t know how this is happening to me.
The court was horrible. I did answered the questions well and didn’t fall into their traps when they questionned me.
Unfortunately, it’s not the case for my mom:
But that’s not her fault. She doesn’t understand french very well (okay she totally sucks with any language other than chinese) and can’t express herself clearly, ie:
The Child protection services lawyer: -’Mrs, do you care about your daughter?’
My mom: -My daughter doesn’t need the doctors intervention.
The CPS lawyer: -After hearing the mother, we can now see that the parents are not taking their responsability and letting their daughter in danger by…”
You know what I mean? I’m aware that her answer sounded like the typical ‘bad mom’ in TV shows, but I know she meant to say: ‘Leave my daughter alone, I love her and it hurts me seeing how upset she gets because of you.’
It’s not fair.
She barely understood a thing, seemed so lost and looked so stupid!
I feel so bad.
And my lawyer is an ass. She didn’t show my new health results to the judge. They were high enough to prove I’m not in danger, and that my health greatly improved. She even asked me questions that weren’t relevant and weren’t going to help me at all. My mom is pretty sure she doesn’t care about my case at all (she called me at the last minute to ask me about the situation). In fact, she’s friend with those doctors. Next time she calls, I’ll fire her.
The judge didn’t give the sentence yet. But we all know what is gonna be.
I lied to you:
I said I wouldn’t cry.
But I did.
I went to my math exam after that, and I must admit it wasn’t a good idea. I barely had time to finish my copy and almost cried in the classroom.
I know you guys didn’t understand 99% of what I said. It’s pretty complicated. Something I did in the past, something I had in the past/still have/always will, something I don’t what other to know of but that’s essential to tell if I want to prove them wrong…Okay I’ll stop, your heads are spinning.
Aside from this shit, I have a question for US/Canada shippers:
Can we have customs problems if we ship food within US/Canada??
I’ll leave you with some yummy eats. I always try to include some posivity since I know there’s some people that doesn’t read the long paragraphs and just look at the pictures…(yeah, BUSTED!)
With applesauce and almonds
With chopped apple and PB
Do you guys prefer nuts on top of your oatmeal or PB?
I think I prefer nuts…PB is better on toast
Close-up on the burned almonds (I know, I’ll never change…)
‘Triple Orange foods’ Swiss Oats
No orange flavor…
Pumpkin, Peach and Apricots…
3 orange foods, hence the name x)
Click on the title for the recipe, or just check the ‘recipe’ page
This time, I didn’t burn the almonds.
New invention!
‘What is this stuff?‘, you guys are asking.
Well, it’s hummus.
But made with black beans instead of chickpeas
I love the color.
Would’ve been perfect for Halloween.
I have tons of homework. With all the court/law/doctor thing, I think I’ll crack up soon. They just don’t get how this is affecting me negatively.
But I’m more worried about my mom. She’s so depressed and feels guilty because she didn’t do well in court. She lost a lot of weight (I won’t say numbers, but holy crap!) and has no appetite. We’ve been eating pizzas (thank Lord they have a good deal) and eating frozen meals because she doesn’t have the motivation to cook.
I must admit I’m not helping her much…I didn’t really talk to her since the court thing. I feel a little bit of anger because she really looked stupid in front of the judge…I’m going to the mall with my friends today, maybe I’ll get a gift for her or something. Any ideas?

The judge didn’t give the sentence yet. But we all know what is gonna be.
Banana Explosion

Omg, I spent the whole weekend doing my homework…ugh, I hate sciences!
Needed a break, so I thought: ”Hey…how ’bout some blogging?”
I don’t have much to say…thank you for all your support towards my court appearance and everything. I won’t lie, it’s hard. Really hard. Right now, ED is not even a problem anymore. I hate how it has driven me where I am. I don’t care about it now. There’s so much more to life than this.
The whole thing is making me…nauseous? There’s like a big, heavy hand that’s squishing my heart everytime I think about those doctors. I just feel so bad…for my family, for myself. I’m supposed to live the happiest moment of my life…but instead, I just wish that I can quickly become 18, so I can make my own decisions.
Okay no more negative feelings, sorry!

Let’s move on to more happy news and yummy eats:
I went to party-buffet Friday night and it was pretty lame. Everyone had brought something (I brought Caesar salad and Macadamia cookies…they got attacked =D), but I don’t know how, the 11th-12th graders got all wrong and ate part of our food! Aka all the desserts, brownies…Grrr, stupid kids! We were left with crudites, some boring sandwiches and Tostitos (hate those…among all the chips in the world, why do they left us the yuckiest chips???) After, since there was food left, everybody brought back a little something home, like unopened/opened bags of chips, leftover donuts…the crudites were lonely! But Vanilla rescued them! I brought back TONS of crudites…it’s a really, really big plateau (yeah the 11-12 graders didn’t touch them apparently).
Those crudites, featuring…
Meatless ‘Hamburger’
With Yves veggie ground round, ketchup, and cheesy goodness!
Some dip for the crudites
Don’t forget to support OCCK!
November is almost coming to an end!
Here’s a little tribute to her ‘Melted banana trick’…(again!)
New variation on the Melted banana oatmeal:
Maple Raisin Banana Oatmeal
Guess what happened while I was making this recipe…
I was lazy and tried to use the microwave instead of the stove…
EXPLOSION!!
BAM PATATATA POUF!
…*sigh*
I wonder how you guys do it. I’ll stick with stove top method.
Another ‘Banana’ recipe (because there’s never enough banana, right?):
Name inspired by Mitri!
Recipe on the ‘recipe’ page
And a shout-out for my ‘Reverse Deluxe Carrot Cake’ Oat bran/Oatmeal:
The cheese bits are so cute <3
Okay this has nothing to do with bananas, but it’s yummy anyway :)
