Glorious Cinnamon Rolls

the best rolls i have ever made :-)

i have to give a whole post to these fabulous, scrumptious, gourmet, delightful cinnamon rolls i made. i have never really been one for modesty..... hahahah. feast your eyes on these babes! i wish i could remember where i got the recipe from...

its ONLY a couple months old......

Yay for seasons!

i would like to introduce you to my beautiful blue bike:

it gets me anywhere and everywhere, i love my bike!!

falling timpanogos

this last weekend we hiked up the glorious mount timpanogos. i got to see the amazing fall colours for the first time. beautiful.

the streets around here are becoming crunchy and golden. i love riding my bike through the great piles of fallen leaves.

for the best yoghurt, mix any plain yoghurt with a tsp of vanilla extract and some honey/maple syrup. yum.

i made some pants!

my first completed sewing project! i am so proud of myself. i made some really easy thai fisherman pants, i just found a free general pattern online and made them on a borrowed sewing machine. it was great, except for the fact that the pattern was, well, general, and the pants are a little big. i know fisherman pants are supposed to be baggy, but are the so baggy that i cant slip a normal t-shirt over the bulk? i hope not...... but i'm satisfied with my work, for now :-) thanks to a utah cycling newspaper for giving me food pattern material and some articles to read while i lazily bided my time hehe. sorry no pictures of the final finished product today, my camera's batteries are flat, maybe next time.

the story of the snails

let me share with you a funny/disgusting story that happened a couple of weeks ago.

it had been raining alot here so of course the snails were in paradise, and out in the open. seeing all these snails had suddenly inspired me to try gourmet french cooking. yup, escargot. i looked up on the Internet how to cook them and i read that it is important to purify them for 2 weeks by feeding them snail-poison less food (see picture). so i purified them (we counted 44 snails).

my sister commented that this would forever be remembered as the great snail massacre hehe, and it was, thought at the time of the 'harvest' there were only 25, hmmm i wonder how that happened. the day we cooked them i quit. how could i send these cute, little, innocent creatures into the cruel boiling water? so my other sister took over and she killed them! and this is coming from the person who started the whole thing lol.

epilogue

nobody could eat them. so they sat in a little jar in the fridge for like a week until someone tossed them. the moral of the story is not to ever think you can be a gourmet french cook and cook escargot. take my word for it, it's not worth it.

what is with the quinoa?

this blog is really what the title says, my bowl of quinoa. in case you dont know what quinoa is, it is a small little grain that i like to cook for brekky and put on all sorts of stuff on it (carob, pineapple, applesuace, honey yum yum). so this blog is a mish mash of all sorts of things. i hope you enjoy!
