Pocketful of Rainbows
I’m not really into baking cakes. For me, it’s too many steps to take for something I could buy from someone who can do it way better. Also, I’m not a big fan of eating cake. Cookies? All day, everyday. Cakes? Meh. However, for birthdays, I acquiesce to those I love. My seven-year-old requested aContinue reading “Pocketful of Rainbows”
Walking on Sunshine
Summer. I’m lucky to be an educator and have a summer break to spend with my kids. During summer, I typically only have to teach one online class. This leaves time for fun in the sun. Every sunny afternoon, it’s time for a dip in the pool. This is one of my favorite times ofContinue reading “Walking on Sunshine”
The Genius of Pizza Balls
Pizza Balls. No, not the awesome-looking pizza balls featured in Dr. Strange 2: I mean the pizza balls I’ve probably posted about before from Delish. Their site refers to the recipe as a pull-apart Christmas tree, but it’s easier to call them pizza balls. And you can make them anytime. I finally created a non-soggyContinue reading “The Genius of Pizza Balls”
Making the Perfect Macaron
Macarons. These little bastards have evaded perfection for me for years. I’ve loved them. I’ve hated them. I’ve found a “great” recipe, only to find my macarons turning out hollow, lacking feet, or just altogether collapsing. Now, I truly have found a great recipe, full of useful tips for making the perfect macaron. After usingContinue reading “Making the Perfect Macaron”
Editing Like Mad
Most of my summer days have been overtaken by editing. This is not outside the scope of normalcy for me. However, it’s not often that I edit non-fiction. Sometimes They Come Back Again: The Latest Cycle of Diverse Horror Fictions is the non-fiction title I’ve been editing. The work builds off Robin Coleman’s Horror Noire:Continue reading “Editing Like Mad”
Orange Ink Guest Podcast
Awhile back, I talked up the fact that I was a guest star on a Wattpad-themed podcast. Welp, the day has come, and the episode has been released today! And you guessed it, I’m experiencing that good-ish feeling. You can find the link for the latest episode here. Listen to hear me and Karis discussContinue reading “Orange Ink Guest Podcast”
What I’ve Baked Lately
By now, you’re most likely aware (whoever and wherever you are, maybe my head) that I enjoy baking. Baking de-stresses me. It used to be only one thing de-stressed me, and that was writing. Yet, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that writing, amazing as it is, is sort of like work. I enjoy itContinue reading “What I’ve Baked Lately”
Only the Good-ish Feelings
Do you ever get that rush because you just finished something? I do. It’s a rush of dopamine or good feelings, or other science-y things I don’t know the names for. But those good-ish feelings keep me motivated. When I start a new project, I want to see it through, because I know that goodContinue reading “Only the Good-ish Feelings”
Just Another (Birthday)
This year, I’m 36. Or, as my husband painstakingly reminded me, we’re supposedly more than halfway through with our lives. I then reminded him that my grandmother lived until she was 88. Old lady that I now am, I still had a great birthday, all thanks to my husband. I expressed interest in seeing theContinue reading “Just Another (Birthday)”
Challenging Myself
In my last post, I wrote about how I’ve been riding a baking high. As I’d hoped, it’s taken me to new baking spaces. Well, new and old. I finally feel more confident in making macrons. So much so that I played around with flavors and made a lemon frosting, with raspberry filling. I hadContinue reading “Challenging Myself”
