Day 21, A Recipe

Ah, recipes! I can't wait to have a kitchen to use recipes in next year! There's only so much I can do with limited resources, a crock pot, and a rice cooker. Although mac and cheese in the rice cooker and cider in the crock pot is a wonderful dorm combination :)

So I suppose I'll do my recipe for Chocolate No-Bake Cookies. My current favorite cookies that are oh so easy and fast to make!

2 cups granulated sugar
3 tbs cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
3 cups oats
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanutbutter (I usually do less than that. More like a small spoonful)

Bring sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter to boil in a pot, stirring constantly for 3 minutes
Remove from heat and add oats, peanut butter, and vanilla
Drop by teaspoonful onto waxed paper or foil
Let them cool/harden and enjoy! I like to eat any leftovers right out of the pot while it's still warm :) Or freeze any leftovers and put it on ice cream!

Alright, so my friends all stayed the night last night at Kara's again, and left very early this morning so I wasn't able to say bye. But Erin left her DVD's of Totoro and Ponyo here for me to watch! I watched Totoro today while I cleaned my room, and am planning on watching Ponyo sometime this week. I love Totoro, but I can't stand the redone voice-acting. They redid the theme song, and gave Satsuki and Mei annoying American voices, and it just doesn't sound right. They also changed the dialogue quite a bit and took out key parts that I remember from watching it when I was younger. Such as changing the "dust-bunnies" to "soot gremlins". LAME. The whole time I was watching I was just like, "NONONO those are SOOT SPRITES not soot GREMLINS, and Mei calls them DUST-BUNNIES not gremlins!!!" It was almost too frustrating to watch. Why must they change everything that was once perfect?

I also took pictures of my room today! This is a lot for my sake, as I will surely miss this room next year. It has been a great little space for me to wrap christmas lights all around and put up posters and have my own nice little hang out spot. Although it would have been kind of cool to have a roommate, I'm still pretty glad that I didn't have to share :) even though it would have been no big deal.

And so here is my room in pictures:

My bed with my posters and collages on the wall!

Crazy colorful stuffed closet :)

My mostly uncluttered desk

Moi on the bed!

And that is all! I will miss this tiny itty bitty little room
