An ode to fruits who've gone before us (watermelon lemonade!!!)

I'm contantly begging to buy fruits for epic desserts. You know, lemon semifredo, blackberry cobbler and the list goes on and on. But the even longer list is all the fruits that have gone bad since I was too lazy to make it.

For the record, this happened yesterday. I have a really bad track record of wasting fruit. Such talent I possess! This is clearly going to take me far in life.


So this lemonade, I USED TWO FRUITS THAT DID NOT GO BAD. Ha! Take that, all you 50 different kinds of exotic fruit that now sit in some lonely dump, decomposing into goodness knows. So then, they were all redeemed by this lemonade that is fab for guzzling when you happen to live in the sweltering state, and your ac is broken....IN JULY.

Watermelon Lemonade. Serves 5 (ahem, or one. But really, I wouldn't know.....)

1 lb watermelon,
2 oz lemon juice
1.5 oz agave &
4 oz water 

To make it:  blend everything together in your blender, then strain it through a fine mesh strainer. Pour into pineapple cups. Striped straws optional but highly encouraged.

Enjoy guzzling/sipping/drinking normally or whatever you fancy! Have you made any fancy lemonades??

XOXO,
Lemonade freakazoid.

(kinda sorta.)

(okay fine, totally.)

Happy {Fri} Day 7/13

Wow. I am totally repeating a photo from yesterday and totally hoping you don't notice and totally ruining that chance by pointing it out. But hey! I've never claimed to be the brightest. I think the biggest awesome thing about the week was my Photoshop messings. We've had it for over a year, and to be honest, I didn't even know how to save a photo. I did a little digging, a whole lot of moaning and finally figured out what I wanted! I'll show you Sunday. (It's really not that exciting, but I've been wanting to do it for a while.)

 Oh, and I got to be a Starbucks girl today. Similar to this time, but it involved getting a drink, waiting for it, AND having your name written on the cup. I was totally impressed. I am also impressed by people who can curl their tongues and wear belts over cardigans and look good. And I say totally way to much.

How has YOUR week been going?

Xoxo, Kryn

Festivus!

I have not posted about a celebration in a really long time....oops. Anyway, hope you were festive because today was Festivus day! I assume Festivus includes general festive things such as, drinking eggnog, listening to Christmas music, wrapping presents, and so on. I decided to look up Festivus in the dictionary, because I was somewhat confused about the meaning. Turns out, there is no meaning because Festivus is not a word! So we have creative liberty today!

Here are some festive things I did:

• I painted my nails red.
• Went Christmas shopping
• Tried on my Eve outfit.
• Watched a Video on the making of the Michael Buble Christmas Album.
• Wrapped presents

Here's my favorite. It does not exactly shout Festivus.

• Wrote a letter in a red pen.

The last one is sort of lame...but since I have some liberty today, the red pen is the most Festivus thing around!

Sincerely,
Red = Festivus.

Freedom

Freedom from piano songs. Freedom from worrying about not messing up. Freedom from not remembering if its E or A. Freedom from recital woes. It is the most free feeling ever.

To be finished with your recital!

To be honest, I didn't do half bad. At this point, I could have fine piano behavior and not say anything, but I'm going rouge. Before the recital, Miss Erica gave me a little lecture about post recital behavior. No beating yourself up. No counting your mistakes. No talking about how bad you did. On and on until talking about the recital was really not an option at all.

So I could just tell you that the food was good and I had eggnog and leave it at that.

But of course I wont. I was actually quite pleased with how I did. I didn't play perfectly, of course, but I didn't fumble to bad. I didn't pause long enough, but I didn't pause to long.

It was good.

Especially the eggnog.

Here I am giving dad my "I'm nervous/I don't want to do this/Its and E not an A" look.

And here are Emily and I after, oh so relieved! (Or at least I was anyway.)Oh, and you love my tights right?

So that's the recital. Done did. It was good. But the eggnog was better.
