Pittsburgh

Eats and jams

Hey there. Friday = last day of regular classes for the fall semester of my sophomore year of college. Cool beans!

Time to share some food I have been loving lately:Salmon + mayo. Yes, that probably sounds gross to everyone but Sable, but I really like it! I had this again the other day and added lemon juice and dill to the mayo. It was pretty good!

Well this oatmeal looks pretty boring. It tasted good though.. it was brown sugar and maple flavored. Nom. I also enjoy Kashi oatmeal buuut I don’t usually buy it because #1: it is expensive and #2: my local grocery store doesn’t sell it.

Good old banana bread! I use the Betty Crocker recipe that calls for lots of sugar and butter. Good times ;). Banana bread is good topped with butter or peanut butter. But i’m biased because I think anything is good topped with peanut butter. Seriously.

Split pea soup with ham. Perfect for the cool weather Pittsburgh has been experiencing lately. I think it is pretty cool that Hannah (little sister) likes split pea soup. When I was her age (in 8th grade) I didn’t want to eat anything but Poptarts and Gatorade!

I guess this isn’t really food but I finally whipped out the Christmas mugs! Woo 🙂

Cranberry-orange muffin dough. It was SOUR. Yes I eat raw dough… I haven’t got sick yet.

Cranberry-orange muffins! Huzzah! Fresh out the ovennnnn.

15 bean soup about to boil. Again, perfect for the chilly freezing weather.

Now onto some music I have been into lately! I wish I was one of those people that could study and listen to music at the same time… but I can’t. I get distracted so easily.

Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce

Well well. That is all I have for today. This weekend will be spent studying and celebrating the holiday season with loved ones. Rock on :D.

Favorite songs/artists lately? [I’m liking the Madagascar soundtrack.. it pumps me up when I run… aka i’m a dork!]

Favorite muffin flavor? [This is so tough… probably pumpkin or lemon poppy seed!]

Do you eat raw dough?! [I have my whole life & I’ve never gotten sick so I continue to eat raw dough.]

Awkward pets?

Happy Thursday! How is the weather by you? Yesterday it started out raining in the low 40’s in Pittsburgh and ended up in the low 30’s and snowing by 2:30–right when I got out of my last class. Brrr. I usually walk Lola after classes and yesterday was no different..except it was cold, so I bundled up. 
I also attempted to take pictures of Lola with little success. 

Other picture fails:


Face time with Jimmy. Cause I hardly see him. Sad.

Does anyone have a cat who likes to sit like this?


Lily (Hannah’s kitten) often sits like the above picture^

So when I see her sitting like that I like to grab her paws and look into her eyes. It is really awkward for the both of us.



Okay, enough.

This post has been really random! Other random tidbits:

-Yesterday my mom went to spinning for the first time with me. She liked it & now Hannah wants to go. Rock on.

-I had my last microbiology class yesterday and I’m kind of sad because I liked it so much.

-I can’t wait to have time to bake and read more over the holiday break! 

-I can’t decide if I want to do a marathon in March or an ultra in April. I hate running in cold weather. I don’t know what to do!

Do you have any weird things that you do with your pets?!

[Besides holding Lily’s paws when she sits upright, I try to get Lola to come into the bathroom while I shower to keep me company but she is scared..lolzzzz]
