  • Vegan Cheesecake Cookies

    Vegan Cheesecake Cookies

    So the other day, I was doodling on a piece of paper this idea for a dessert I had. It was going to be a miniature cheesecake on a shortbread cookie base. I went at it, and after a few attempts, I’ve finally got a recipe! Vegan Cheesecake Cookies Makes six large cookies. About 450…

  • Fluffy White Bread, Maple Doughnuts and Vegan Cheesecake

    Fluffy White Bread, Maple Doughnuts and Vegan Cheesecake

    Fluffy White Bread I was tasked with making my loafs of bread more like Wonderbread. In other words: sweeter and more fluffy. After some experimenting, I found success with one recipe. I then tried again with a veganized version, and it worked just as well. So I present to you both editions. Regular Version: 3…

  • Finished Classes for my First Year (NSFW)

    Finished Classes for my First Year (NSFW)

    I made it. It was pretty tumultuous. I ended up dropping my two math classes this semester, and I’ll try to do at least one of them over the summer. I don’t know what will happen to me next year, whether I’ll continue or not. But dropping everything to go back this year is something…

  • SimCity, DRM, and Ownership

    SimCity, DRM, and Ownership

    The newest game in the SimCity franchise was released a few days ago, and it’s been a bit of a disaster. I’ve included a screenshot from Amazon’s product page below: a thousand five hundred people gave it one star out of five, while only thirty-eight gave it five stars. The reason for the upset is…

  • Back in the Fray

    Back in the Fray

    Reading week is over, and I’m now studying for two midterms. After that incredibly peaceful weekend, the week kind of took a real busy turn. There was a work emergency on Monday that resulted in lots of stress. What at first appeared like a minor abnormality turned out to be the symptom of a very…

  • Two Whole Cakes and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

    Two Whole Cakes and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

    Coinciding with this three day marathon of bliss was Venus Envy‘s twelfth anniversary sale. Everything in store was 20% off. And they had free cupcakes. So of course I went and spent money I didn’t have. Among the things I picked up was a book called Two Whole Cakes. It has the caption of “How…

  • Halfway Through Second Semester

    Halfway Through Second Semester

    Reading Week is about to start. This semester has been a bit of a mixed bag. I ended up dropping my calculus class, putting me at four classes this semester. I did this because I calculated my ass-in-seat-time™ to be at around 45 hours. That was the time I spent at school in lectures and…

  • Croissants & Holidays

    Croissants & Holidays

    Making croissants has been on my to-do list for months. Months. But working six days a week and spending the seventh on chores/homework, I just didn’t have the day that’s required to make these. These holidays have been so great to me. With a bit of a break from both work and school, I was…
