Skating

..... is SO much fun

so my twin sister and i went skating at the mississauga celebration square skating rink
and its so awesome (: because i love skating outside in circles
you feel like your flying
and i know how to do like crossovers backwards too- so i admit i was trying to show off- doing that
and spinning and stuff
i feel so privilaged that my city has a pretty free skating rink heheh




Everybody knows the world's screwed up
and nobody cares unless something so big happens like a tsunami that they decide to donate etc
and they care about
looks
and their clothes
and what others think bout them

when they should be caring bout
how they can help or make another person happy by doing something so small
and something that doesn't even have to take a lot of effort

well lets blame it on the rich people that swim in all that money xD (though im not saying all rich people are like that - maybe half )

How to make French Macarons

so I'm sure there are 100's of recipes for this
but I think i found the best way to make
since the first time I made it, it was Perfect- and apparently its hard so
btw I found this on a document on  my computer- it's written in my own words but is from a website i can't remember :( so it's not really MY recipe
oh and they're not flavoured anything specific...

Ingredients
-100 gr (1 1/8 cup) ground almonds (make sure to grind more than 100 grams/1 1/8 cup)
-100-110 gr (3/8 cup) egg whites (about 3 egg whites), aged 1 day at room temperature covered with clingfilm (though doesn't have to be)
-200 gr (1 1/2 cup) powdered sugar
-4 tablespoons (about 45 gr) granulated sugar


  • Grind the almonds in a food processor. Sift to get rid of any large pieces or lumps
  • Mix the powdered sugar together with the ground almonds in a food processor.
    In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with a hand- or stand mixer. As the egg whites start foaming, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time and continue whipping until the mixture is glossy and stiff. You should be able to hold the bowl upside down without the meringue sliding out!

  • Fold the dry mixture into the meringue using a spatula. Add food coloring if desired and fold until fully mixed. The mixture should flow like a ribbon when you hold up the spatula. Don’t overmix! If you want to test if the batter has good consistency, just dollop some batter on a piece of parchment paper. If the dollop slowly “flattens”, you’re good to go! If not, just keep folding

  • I usually find that a slightly under-mixed batter is better than an over-mixed.
    If you want to color your macarons, it’s generally better to use powdered food coloring, or pastes that are low in liquid
 
  • Fill your piping bag- (or large ziplock bag with a hole in the corner) and pipe the macarons onto baking sheets, I usually end up with two sheets. To make it easier to fill but the bag in a tall glass to hold the bag while you fill it.  Remember that the shells will “flatten” once you’ve piped, so don’t make them too big. About 2,5-3 cm (1 inch) is enough.
    Let them set for 60 minutes to form a dry skin.


    •  
    • Heat the oven to 150° C (300 degrees F). Bake for 10-12 minutes in the middle of the oven. Keep a close eye on them the last couple of minutes as they brown easily. You can test if they are done by touching the tip of a macaron, if it “wobbles” they are not done.
      Let the shells cool completely before removing them from the baking sheets. If you have trouble removing them from the paper, put them back in the oven for a couple of minutes. Fill in your filling of choice on a shell and sandwich together with another shell.


      • TADA :D i hope they turn out awesome :D heheh
           

          Why dogs bring happiness

          heres why i love dogs/puppies so much

          - their cute and do stupid stuff
          - some are smart and help us in our daily lives
          - they're so fluffy even if the have short fur they're soft and huggable
          - dogs can cuddle with you
          - when you hug them they feel so weak that you have to take care of it- no matter how fat
          - when they squirm in your hands its so cute- and then they start licking you xD
          - THEY MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY (:

          mehmehmeh :D

          Me wasting time thinking bout how stuff isn't fair :P

          So there are these girls in my class
          and all the teachers in the school like them so much
          they're all btchy but kind at the same time - for example they act nice in front of this girl
          and then come to me and say dont be friends with her she's an a-hole(backstabber!!!)
          grrr and the teachers let them hand stuff in late
          and talk with them like their more than students-
          which means they get to do all the extra stuff like always say announcements
          and get picked for teams and groups automatically when they try out
          and i know other people that were better that tried out and didnt get in -_- feel sorry for them
          oh well... hope i have a better life than them when i grow up

          they get the icing on the cake xP hahah

          It's Christmas!!

          If Christmas is bout Jesus... where the hell did santa come from xP
