Been Awhile But…

Posted on April 22, 2013 by myafinari

Got some cute bronzer the other day mainly because it had knitted stitches on it! plus it is made of cashmere. Crazy fun, and it turns out it s quite smooth and pretty nice to use too. I am a sucker for packaging :)

Smoothies and Cycles

Posted on August 30, 2012 by myafinari

I got a new mixer and now I can’t stop makin’ smoothies! So far, fresh peaches ‘n cream was good, banana and yogurt and choc was good, bananas and strawberry and yogurt was good…and most of those I made more than once of course. Considering I got this just last week that is a lot of smoothie action I think.

Anywho we also got some road bikes since I really really need to exercise somehow. So far it is fun although I am not used to that kind of speed on a bike so I get all nervous and keep reminding myself to breathe. But I was able to pedal up the stupid crazy giant hills we have around here, well I did have to stop to rest once but I did not have to walk it so I am happy about that :)

I made this icecream once before and so when it looked like I was not eating a bag full of cherries fast enough, I decided it was time for a repeat appearance :) cooked the cherries up before they could rot and then made the chocolate custard base and put it in the fridge for a day to chill before running it through the ice cream maker.

It is super creamy and delicious and the cherries really make it all the better although the chocolate ice cream on its own is probably plenty yummy. I highly recommend making your own ice cream, it is fun and very tasty indeed!

Tried out a new recipe to me last night. It was super yummy! I did not have any yogurt so I had it with sour cream instead but that worked for me :)

Sunset in the City

Naturally the photos do not do it justice since I have only been taking pics on my iPhone of late, however, the sunset in the city has been pretty cool these last couple weeks. Voila!

Peanut Butter and Choc Chips

Posted on June 6, 2012 by myafinari

20120606-120409.jpg

Made these peanut butter cookies the other day with mini chocolate chips. And rolled it into a log to put in the freezer. So now I can just slice some off and bake a couple at a time and have fresh cookies whenever I feel like it! Not sure why I have never done this before, but methinks I might start stocking up the freezer with other cookie doughs :)
