Ok, quick update before getting into this delicious guest post by the beautiful and talented Thea of Baking Magique. Last time we talked, I was still off in California stargazing. Since then, I finished my research project on supernovae, went to Disneyland (!!) and visited my cousins in Honolulu. Now I’m finally home, working at […]

banana oatmeal nutella pancakes
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of “in the larger scheme of things…” thinking. Here at astronomy camp, we’ve been talking a lot about big things, like black holes, supernovae, and ominous things like “dark matter” and “dark energy.” Thinking “in the larger scheme of things” can make me feel small and insignificant. I am […]
protein pancakes
It has been almost two weeks since I’ve been on the Internet — I’m going to tell you what I’ve been up to. Not much. But then again, a whole lot. I actually was somewhat busy — just two Thursdays ago I took my Chinese final and went to prom (I’ll save that story for […]
orange scented french toast
soak:to lie immersed in liquid (as water): become saturated by or as if by immersion Soaking is a magical thing. I love the idea that things can drastically improve by just sitting in liquid. This idea of idle productivity is particularly appealing to me right now, as I am procrastinating on typing up this MASSIVE […]
homemade muesli
I would have thought that all of the “healthy new years resolution” buzz would have slightly died down by now (i.e. some people would have already given up). But no, everything is still in full swing. People are bumbling left and right carrying yoga mats, Safeway is totally sold-out of kale, and I have […]

blueberry scones
By now, you guys are probably getting sick of “sights and bites,” and are hungry for a real, meaty recipe post. Am I right? Well here you go. After being away from my kitchen for over a month, I went absolutely cray when I got home. I really should have been unpacking, but you know what I did […]
overnight raised waffles
I just wrote about waffles, and I thought I found the one. But then yeast came in the picture, and things got complicated. Last night, Emilia, Veda and I had our annual end-of-season girl’s night out to celebrate the end of the winter track season. I don’t know about you all, but I love traditions. […]
recipe showdown: belgian waffles
It’s humiliating. It’s tragic. It’s the decay of Western civilization…. and I can’t stop watching it. Ever since I heard that little, blond, 4-foot-tall toddler’s famous catchphrase”a dollar makes me holler honey boo boo,” I’ve been in love.She’s hyperactive, uninhibited, and foul-mouthed… and I’m kind of obsessed. But since this is technically a food blog, […]
oatmeal dark chocolate chip pancakes
Last Friday was the Sadie Hawkins dance at school. Scratch that.Last Friday was the “Girls Ask Boys Winter Formal.” Apparently “Sadie Hawkins” isn’t politically correct enough for my school. I’m technically on Spirit Committee… I should know these things. My friend Veda and I had a track meet before during the dance. When my coach told […]
