&lt;br /&gt;
So, I was pretty excited about the October box mainly because it is Halloween themed.&amp;nbsp; Since I haven&#39;t tasted the products yet, I&#39;m only going to show you the contents of the box in this post.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first open the box, you will be greeted by this adorable Halloween card that says &quot;Scary Delicious&quot; on it.&amp;nbsp; On the back of the card is a list of the items that are contained in the box for your convenience.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So, the first item I saw was the &quot;Chocolate Pizzelle Crisps from Silk City Snacks.&amp;nbsp; They are Italian waffle cookies, and the bag is under 100 calories! &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This is the Toasted Coconut Chips from Dang.&amp;nbsp; I have had something similar to this that my father brought back from China.&amp;nbsp; It was super good, so I&#39;m really looking forward to this ^^.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;The next item is the Happy Squeeze from Happy Family.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m not sure if everyone gets the same flavors, but mine is &quot;Blueberry, apple, and purple carrot.&quot;&amp;nbsp; Honestly, the carrot part scares me a lot...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This picture shows the Kind Bars from Kind Snacks which has cranberries and almonds.&amp;nbsp; The two little pink boxes are Glee Gum, Triple Berry from Verve Inc.&amp;nbsp; Apparently they are mde from brown rice and cane sugar.&amp;nbsp; I hope it doesn&#39;t taste like regular bubble gum &amp;gt;.&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The rest of the box contains some Organic Hard Candies from Torie &amp;amp; Howard, New World Caveman Cookies by Caveman Bakery (contains pumpkin seeds and maple syrup), and Pixa Pearls from Vinaigerie Gingras.&amp;nbsp; The pearls are apple cider vinegar...kinda weird and I&#39;m not really sure what to use them for.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;Last but not least, you get some coupons.&amp;nbsp; One is a coupon for a free entree for lean cuisine&#39;s &quot;honestly good&quot; line of frozen food.&amp;nbsp; The others are for the squeeze and gum shown above.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Wah, I&#39;m so lazy~ &amp;nbsp;I have not blogged for a while even though I have collected so many topics to blog about. &amp;nbsp;Anyhow, since various holidays are approaching, I&#39;m doing a tutorial on how to make some beautiful flowers out of construction paper. &amp;nbsp;These flowers can be used as holiday decorations as well as gifts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Materials:&lt;br /&gt;
- Stiff paper (construction paper, card stock, scrapbooking paper...)&lt;br /&gt;
- Glue (I used the regular Elmer&#39;s while glue)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; Optional:&lt;br /&gt;
- hot glue&lt;br /&gt;
- toothpicks&lt;br /&gt;
- Glitter&lt;br /&gt;
- Wire&lt;br /&gt;
- Nail Polish&lt;br /&gt;
- Pearl/beads&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many tutorials on the web, so don&#39;t worry if mine isn&#39;t very clear &amp;gt;.&amp;lt;;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkiy_hts8bxtCI6MZhlhlxijlZYgNTtMR0Rq-a0wxOc1hNx4Js-PU10B4s9Gf-cv9eGsfcwtwepcbU0Z4AUmgZidLa-1McVoCJ9dXGWuPTi-52Zcf5eTbuSfnW0AxX3-lE3Mo5n9lcEFU/s1600/version+1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;516&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkiy_hts8bxtCI6MZhlhlxijlZYgNTtMR0Rq-a0wxOc1hNx4Js-PU10B4s9Gf-cv9eGsfcwtwepcbU0Z4AUmgZidLa-1McVoCJ9dXGWuPTi-52Zcf5eTbuSfnW0AxX3-lE3Mo5n9lcEFU/s640/version+1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
This is version 1. &amp;nbsp;It is pretty easy to make, however, you have to release the flower so that it can loosen up a little bit after rolling. &amp;nbsp;The gluing process might be a little tricky, so it is good to use a toothpick to help apply it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi22syX2oLWrxs96vgoWJxL0mRZ68Im7FRDLIbdgNids67g0QAZVzgQqI79wt1R7MH2KTTBNIGsNkifVwh2bzjd_382ZiZVRwp1zGZKFDlcP3JuRu42wg9F5CjsVX5Xv4W3DwTEKcWnzdQ/s1600/02.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi22syX2oLWrxs96vgoWJxL0mRZ68Im7FRDLIbdgNids67g0QAZVzgQqI79wt1R7MH2KTTBNIGsNkifVwh2bzjd_382ZiZVRwp1zGZKFDlcP3JuRu42wg9F5CjsVX5Xv4W3DwTEKcWnzdQ/s400/02.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once done, you can glue some glitter on to the edges to make it prettier, or even better, just apply some nail polish. &amp;nbsp;The picture below shows a black flower with pearl nail polish. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There are also a couple of variations to my method by cutting the paper differently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHZ1d-LzIditSVrioHnmZGOppewpL7nlxxH1t_E-h7wgriEh7nQkx9ilOuaAR9Px3I0o80D1G_4FtSKZRRyEhcqc_MoFaXArejZHDcSTTcZnFy-vmBG_d9qLwAUOEheCvFelrryhxiiw/s1600/version+2+3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;307&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHZ1d-LzIditSVrioHnmZGOppewpL7nlxxH1t_E-h7wgriEh7nQkx9ilOuaAR9Px3I0o80D1G_4FtSKZRRyEhcqc_MoFaXArejZHDcSTTcZnFy-vmBG_d9qLwAUOEheCvFelrryhxiiw/s320/version+2+3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Version 2 makes flowers with uneven edges (like the one below)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvh_aS_4BcR1yofeVTgkND4utYnOYIdoapVvt8lVF7JX18om9d2fs_a1k4P8MdBRRNXu0MCL1HUoQkAjkZvnU4K7NDwWpim5okvc76RgdhzWox827DErJ4ila0WKewYBTCaFn18SBymWQ/s1600/04.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvh_aS_4BcR1yofeVTgkND4utYnOYIdoapVvt8lVF7JX18om9d2fs_a1k4P8MdBRRNXu0MCL1HUoQkAjkZvnU4K7NDwWpim5okvc76RgdhzWox827DErJ4ila0WKewYBTCaFn18SBymWQ/s320/04.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Version 3 makes flowers that also look pretty&amp;nbsp;interesting: (this is made by Stuart)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVzdlQRv3BSmq75OBfXCBrattAcqKer0PA3m8zLlwsBNWOj5Yfs9AZG_8utHxll6AEYQUrdOIdwFmTm6DUr7apBPBUm0g05sTIEhY9RnkuHkVcagjD8hA2w75HUaSmwSv-7g5yEDlWSUI/s1600/10.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVzdlQRv3BSmq75OBfXCBrattAcqKer0PA3m8zLlwsBNWOj5Yfs9AZG_8utHxll6AEYQUrdOIdwFmTm6DUr7apBPBUm0g05sTIEhY9RnkuHkVcagjD8hA2w75HUaSmwSv-7g5yEDlWSUI/s320/10.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Here&#39;s a comparison of version 1 and version 2:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3kgUDGkh9vdZ1308j0-Hi8G0_cTB61TedH1YyK_01vmw5nmkWnRX5up_oSSNmgOokqMrdnBJ_vJ9F2ILXXgTg786JsGDVlfdc_Ecavxrced0WzlkWQtqazWrv8lMXOXGq5mSe0OW_7D0/s1600/05.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3kgUDGkh9vdZ1308j0-Hi8G0_cTB61TedH1YyK_01vmw5nmkWnRX5up_oSSNmgOokqMrdnBJ_vJ9F2ILXXgTg786JsGDVlfdc_Ecavxrced0WzlkWQtqazWrv8lMXOXGq5mSe0OW_7D0/s320/05.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below are some that are made from patterned paper with pearls in the middle. &amp;nbsp;The stem is glued onto the flower with a glue gun.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Stuey doesn&#39;t like to buy things, well, not for himself. &amp;nbsp;He acquires on average one pair of shoes a year and wear until they are unbearable to look at anymore. &amp;nbsp;I absolutely love shoes and always feel bad for him because he wears the same shoes to death. &amp;nbsp;Today, when we stepped inside ALDO, I spotted some shoes for men that I really liked and bought it for him. &amp;nbsp;The first one is the VUTURO in&amp;nbsp;khaki. &amp;nbsp;I like this pair because it is made out of real leather, stylish but also comfortable. &amp;nbsp;The same pair of shoes come in navy blue, which I didn&#39;t like quite as much because it will blend in with the blue jeans Stuey often wears. &amp;nbsp;Khaki&amp;nbsp;green on the other hand is great in combination with many autumn colors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aldoshoes.com/static/webUpload/731/26_vuturo_44_6.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.aldoshoes.com/static/webUpload/731/26_vuturo_44_6.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The second pair I bought is the Ordando shoes in Dark Brown. &amp;nbsp;They were on sale with a 30% off of the original $100 price tag. &amp;nbsp;I REALLY like this pair of shoes because it is one of the softest men shoes I have ever touched! &amp;nbsp;XD &amp;nbsp;According to Stuey, they are extremely comfortable. &amp;nbsp;However, these shoes are not true to it&#39;s size, they run a lot bigger than the other ones. &amp;nbsp;(Stuart wears a 9.5, but he bought a size 8 because of the discrepancy.) &amp;nbsp;These shoes are more formal, but comfortable enough for casual wearing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Now on to F21. &amp;nbsp;The Triangle area always had a F21 in Crabtree Valley Mall, however, I have never liked it. &amp;nbsp;It is big, crowded and hard to find anything in. &amp;nbsp;The organization of the store made it a complete headache to browse and try on clothes. &amp;nbsp;The new store in Southpoint is smaller, two stories, and has no men&#39;s section. &amp;nbsp;It is still crowded, but much more organized, and with dressing rooms on both floors, the shopping experience is much less of a headache. &amp;nbsp;Here are some of my favorites that I took home with me...(well, Stuey bought them for me in return for the shoes &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;):&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Heritage 1981 dress in Brick/Mint (This one was on display and I fell in love with it at the window)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/00028451-01.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/00028451-01.jpg&quot; width=&quot;262&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Black dress with lace bodice and peterpan collar.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/87532342-02.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/87532342-02.jpg&quot; width=&quot;262&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Floral dress with mesh sleeves. &amp;nbsp;The zippers are not great...probably going to break really soon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Since my waist line is not nearly as nice as these models, the dresses look completely different on me. &amp;nbsp;They are also not nearly as short on me. &amp;nbsp;Although there were many dresses in F21, it was not easy finding ones that fit me well. &amp;nbsp;Here are some that I had no luck with:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/00021266-01.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/00021266-01.jpg&quot; width=&quot;262&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Very cute dress on the model, but it was not flattering from the side and the soft fabric made it roll up easily. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Another dress that I really liked was a white pleated one with lace bodice. &amp;nbsp;The dress had a fatal mistake where a super hard zipper was paired with soft&amp;nbsp;chiffon&amp;nbsp;fabric and resulted in very awkward behinds. &amp;nbsp;I couldn&#39;t find a picture of it on the internet Q_Q; &amp;nbsp;Oh well. &amp;nbsp;Of course there were other things, but since my memory is very limited, these were the only things I remembered. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Take the tape off and clean the edges. &amp;nbsp;Then apply top coat only on the areas that are not painted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Next step is to make polka dots. &amp;nbsp;Since I&#39;m cheap and don&#39;t want to buy a dotting tool...I just used the back of a round sewing pin. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Take a piece of paper out and put a little bit of the nail polish on there so that you could dab the pin with it. &amp;nbsp;I think it&#39;s less messy this way.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Up close, you can see the blue gradating I made. &amp;nbsp;This is a very easy way to paint your nail, all you need is two kinds of glitter nail polish one in a lighter shade of the color you want and the other in a darker shade. &amp;nbsp;Apply the lighter shade once on the entire nail, and then a second coat on only half of the nail. &amp;nbsp;Lastly, put a little bit of the darker glitter on the edge of the nail to make the gradation more&amp;nbsp;prominent. &amp;nbsp;No mushy diary today because they didn&#39;t really grow Q_Q; &amp;nbsp;However, a vintage-fall themed nail tutorial is coming up!!&lt;br /&gt;

P.S. Glitter nail polishes are always hard to get off, so it&#39;s good to use MONSTER HAND!! (aka foil- wrapped-nail-polish-remover-cotton-balls.)&lt;br /&gt;

The cooking process was rather easy, they were steamed for 15min after the water has boiled. &amp;nbsp;We made a dipping sauce out of rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and sugar. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Anyways, on to the unhappy incident that almost ruined my night. &amp;nbsp;I usually go swing dancing with my boyfriend and ex-roommate Kathryn. &amp;nbsp;Recently, Kathryn&#39;s new roommate Alice has joined us because swing dancing is an awesome form of exercise and way to meet new people. &amp;nbsp;While meeting new people is fun, it can also go wrong sometimes. &amp;nbsp;There has been this creepy guy that we occasionally dance with who gives us uncomfortable stares (long long stares from across the room...). &amp;nbsp;Now, I have no problem with dancing with strangers, and both Kathryn and Alice love dancing with different people. &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s just this one particular guy that creeps us out. &amp;nbsp;As a result, I have been trying to avoid dancing with him for a while now. &amp;nbsp;Well, avoiding worked well until yesterday...until he went to my boyfriend and asked why he wouldn&#39;t let me dance with other people (completely untrue). &amp;nbsp;Then he managed to follow us to the refreshments room and pointed his finger at my boyfriend and shouted at him by calling him a jerk. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;m talking about this fully grown man (in his 50s perhaps?) pointing his fingers at a 22-year-old blaming him for things he didn&#39;t even do!! &amp;nbsp;So, I basically got really pissed off and went to talk to someone about it. &amp;nbsp;This worked out surprisingly well, because what ended up happening was that I had to tell the guy personally that it is MY right to choose who to dance with, and I CHOSE not to dance with him. &amp;nbsp;Lesson learned, don&#39;t get yourself involved with creepy people by being overly nice to them. &amp;nbsp;You just have to tell the person to stop when you need to! &amp;nbsp;So the night went on with no more trouble, and oh how it was delightful! &amp;nbsp;Thanks to everyone who helped me out!!&lt;br /&gt;

First of all, Nordstrom Rack is not cheap. &amp;nbsp;Definitely cheaper than Nordstrom, but it is by no means Charlotte Russe. &amp;nbsp;There were many brand names that I couldn&#39;t care less about, so the price tags were not all that reasonable. &amp;nbsp;To me, things are worth more if I could be happy in it, and that depends on the&amp;nbsp;aesthetics, comfort, and quality of &amp;nbsp;the clothing. &amp;nbsp;Anyways, I went through the shop once for a general view and found a couple of socks and cosmetics that I could spend my coupon on. &amp;nbsp;When I finally decide to stop at the dress section and go through everything that was my size, I found about five pieces of dresses that I really liked and had reasonable price tags. &amp;nbsp;After trying all of them on, I decided to take this beauty home.&lt;br /&gt;

If you know me, then you will know that the flashiness of this dress is beyond anything I have in my closet. &amp;nbsp;However, I have to argue that since this dress is perfect for every season (it contains the essence of spring, structure of a summer dress, and the colors of the holidays), it is actually very useful to have. &amp;nbsp;Oh, and did I mention that I LOVE vintage dresses? &amp;nbsp;Well, doesn&#39;t this look like one of those darling garments that the Mad Men wives wear? &amp;nbsp;I&#39;m also very much in love with the round soft belt. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Either way, the best part of the dress has to be it&#39;s price tag. &amp;nbsp;$44.97. &amp;nbsp;Which means that I only paid $28 (with tax) for this with my awesome coupon. &amp;nbsp;Life is good when you can find cheap things!! &amp;nbsp;Anyways, I&#39;m going to wear this to the Saturday swing dance at the Doris Duke Center so I might have some pictures of me in it later.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

It is officially 4 days after I &quot;planted&quot; my pieces of mushroom inside cardboard! &amp;nbsp;Now they have all become super cute little white fuzz balls!! &amp;nbsp;Aren&#39;t they adorable? We will see what&#39;s going to happen in another two days. &lt;br /&gt;

On the other hand, I have also ordered some oyster mushroom spawns from ebay, but since they are getting shipped from the UK, we will not get to see them until December Q_Q. &lt;br /&gt;

This is my first tutorial post!! &amp;nbsp;Recently, I got very addicted to pinterest, which inspired me to do many projects from materials I have acquired over the years. &amp;nbsp;I found a very short segment of lace couple days ago in my box of goodies and decided to make them into earrings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBLBWx5NSnVDvCRRM_Z7rvYyVf0Z17TsAGab82R27FB9ER4fksfgHP9-zMPnRMJ0d2GQs4Mg15pl2hu-lxTl0R_NUebagOj-dO_pf2rD9buht_jckw2C5sxcqnZq9qtplW9DB_kdAW-Fc/s1600/mats.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBLBWx5NSnVDvCRRM_Z7rvYyVf0Z17TsAGab82R27FB9ER4fksfgHP9-zMPnRMJ0d2GQs4Mg15pl2hu-lxTl0R_NUebagOj-dO_pf2rD9buht_jckw2C5sxcqnZq9qtplW9DB_kdAW-Fc/s320/mats.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Materials I used are: Lace, Earring Hooks, Pearl Beads, Adhesive Pearls, Wires, Scissors, and Pliers. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UzselFEO1r-4uoNCKv8CTpqvO8GlSRthWqEMCpsiddtVWG-WihfksTyjAVA0wyC3wP-f9btHP3GRIo2Rcv9GiTYkhJ58S8dgdtkuVpitYh6Vspm8k2KTORTgna5c3zVpM12P5vrS1Pg/s1600/howto.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UzselFEO1r-4uoNCKv8CTpqvO8GlSRthWqEMCpsiddtVWG-WihfksTyjAVA0wyC3wP-f9btHP3GRIo2Rcv9GiTYkhJ58S8dgdtkuVpitYh6Vspm8k2KTORTgna5c3zVpM12P5vrS1Pg/s400/howto.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
1. Lay out the lace to decide what part of it you want to use for the project. &amp;nbsp;2. Cut the lace. &amp;nbsp;3. Plan out where the beads go. &amp;nbsp;4. Put everything together with wire. &amp;nbsp;(background acquired from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fi2-shift.deviantart.com/art/Simple-Vintage-104816132&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto;&quot;&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;ERE&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Voila!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
It&#39;s a super easy to do project that will take very little time and it is very foolproof. &amp;nbsp;Have fun crafting!!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJD1Y7UPyWUCupJoMESETOrFkY8vGR22Tcz1WTGqRCx5vXjpMDes92v_HcY15xu1A8oN-rNLbgGcSfJYxvC7iBtwn4S7t7e6o9_JcnMUdUVuC6PWNVCoiTllijks6AH6l4G6rfUn9wkc/s1600/IMG_5509.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJD1Y7UPyWUCupJoMESETOrFkY8vGR22Tcz1WTGqRCx5vXjpMDes92v_HcY15xu1A8oN-rNLbgGcSfJYxvC7iBtwn4S7t7e6o9_JcnMUdUVuC6PWNVCoiTllijks6AH6l4G6rfUn9wkc/s320/IMG_5509.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Our long term goal is to grow oyster mushrooms, but since we eat lots of Shimeji in the winter, we will grow this testing batch for fun. &amp;nbsp;I mean, it doesn&#39;t really cost us anything considering that I only used one piece of mushroom to inoculate, and everything else is free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqDeNm4qQkbDRNaYNRfjPn5PQAZTTHJKEZ7IHU2os8g-mrUvSfpRkEUaORriCl3b593oa92fihjyZYBdqyFaKwKziKU-wqxZY21jE-_KJOYtPgbNMUTcnoBJ5peIn0guZaFTNufu0g2rk/s1600/IMG_5510.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqDeNm4qQkbDRNaYNRfjPn5PQAZTTHJKEZ7IHU2os8g-mrUvSfpRkEUaORriCl3b593oa92fihjyZYBdqyFaKwKziKU-wqxZY21jE-_KJOYtPgbNMUTcnoBJ5peIn0guZaFTNufu0g2rk/s320/IMG_5510.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
I found a tutorial on how to start the batch online (for oyster mushrooms) by cutting the bottom part of the existing mushroom into little pieces and let them grow in soaked cardboard. &amp;nbsp;We sterilized our cardboard with hot water hoping that no contamination will occur. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFCLtPDd25G91KC8K3Lwn5uY9mOSTJSojn-YGU4yxc2sLIebXeEEnkRHG0fgzHKGGTP572NYoUYhYoE5M9V-EX83_X7ENxcMewOC_lgDa51AdR3xJbKNPxVyGpLaPbwVJ99UcJ6IQEV6w/s1600/IMG_5511.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFCLtPDd25G91KC8K3Lwn5uY9mOSTJSojn-YGU4yxc2sLIebXeEEnkRHG0fgzHKGGTP572NYoUYhYoE5M9V-EX83_X7ENxcMewOC_lgDa51AdR3xJbKNPxVyGpLaPbwVJ99UcJ6IQEV6w/s320/IMG_5511.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This is what it looks like when all the mushrooms are stacked inside the cardboard&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;All we have to do from here is to wait for the mycelium to grow by decomposing the cardboard in a dark place which is underneath our sink. &amp;nbsp;We air the mycelium out once a day to get rid some of the carbon dioxide that have accumulated. &amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Day 3:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My patience is non-existent. &amp;nbsp;We just started this batch on Saturday, and today (Monday) I&#39;m taking a peek to see whether the growing process has started or not. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Hummm, still very small pieces...&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;but taking a closer look:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;WOW, little bits of hair has started to grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOO COOL!!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;My boyfriend is very sweet, he has a sweet tooth but also a sweet personality. &amp;nbsp;Last Friday, when I was the only one left in my office working, he brought me a box of French macarons from Miel Bon Bons in Carrboro. &amp;nbsp;These little sweet cookies made out of almond flour can be flavored with just anything and have the cutest forms. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DcB5SOTuDGzP8l_cJirc5PEwGdmOk5Jt_Fy_LH1EM9Q6OkQDFfQfmLePFf-sD8R5fQxDrMvigzaht50RAvJkUc19pVMFW_zPUN-QycypHkhoNiACEIvOmBSe_JornUH0NjKOFM9wwoU/s1600/002.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DcB5SOTuDGzP8l_cJirc5PEwGdmOk5Jt_Fy_LH1EM9Q6OkQDFfQfmLePFf-sD8R5fQxDrMvigzaht50RAvJkUc19pVMFW_zPUN-QycypHkhoNiACEIvOmBSe_JornUH0NjKOFM9wwoU/s320/002.jpg&quot; width=&quot;213&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;This box of macarons contained assorted mystery flavors, some tasted heavenly (such as the mango one), and others were a little funky (I could swear that one tasted like playdough). &amp;nbsp;These macarons are probably some of the smallest ones I have had with ~1inch diameter. They are quite pricey for their size (about $2 each), but will definitely make a wonderful gift. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Miel Bon Bons itself is a very small boutique-styled shop located inside the Historic Carr Mill Mall. &amp;nbsp;Other than macarons, they also make cakes and other pastries. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;I started my makeup plan by drawing out the details I wanted to have on my face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;This entire process took me about one hour and 20min, which was surprisingly fast considering how hard it was to make all the rhinestones stick to my face. &amp;nbsp;All I had to do was apply the foundation and then white face paint. &amp;nbsp;Draw the black circles, add eye shadows and glitter, and draw on all the details. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Compared to International Delight on 9th street and Mediterra Grill on Erwin, this place is much much better. &amp;nbsp;First of all, the restaurant was decorated very well: mustard yellow walls, rugs, paintings, hookahs... It had a very welcoming atmosphere. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I ordered a Baba Ghannouj veggie platter with Turkish Coffee, and Stuart had a Baba Ghannouj beef platter with Jellab (a type of drink made from Roses and Dates). &amp;nbsp;My platter contained a salad, three falafels, two grape leave wraps, baba ghannouj, hummus, pita bread, and&amp;nbsp;tzatziki sauce. &amp;nbsp;Stuart&#39;s almost had the exact same thing except for the falafels. &amp;nbsp;The salad was very fresh with a little bit too much dressing. &amp;nbsp;The falafels are the best I have had in Durham, for they were soft and not greasy. &amp;nbsp;The grape leave wraps were not too acidic like the ones in International delight. &amp;nbsp;Stuart said that the meat was also very juicy and soft, unlike the overcooked ones in other places. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The price was very reasonable, ranged from $6 sandwiches to $50 platter serving six people. &amp;nbsp;Perhaps a couple of dollars more than International Delight but definitely worth every penny. &amp;nbsp;With their coupon, it is a super great deal!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TLDR;&lt;br /&gt;
Great restaurant, get their coupon online and go eat there!!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tastingonetwothree.blogspot.com/feeds/36491078863246317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://tastingonetwothree.blogspot.com/2011/09/baba-ghannouj-durham-nc.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3609743964506146394/posts/default/36491078863246317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3609743964506146394/posts/default/36491078863246317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tastingonetwothree.blogspot.com/2011/09/baba-ghannouj-durham-nc.html' title='Baba Ghannouj, Durham NC'/><author><name>Mimi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04132603480656670574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLNkqcZ30ks8sZCRA-FMd3q_90nZ7DyzBiAp8DGT462pfkiSoRhvgQ2lghBmDQLCRaY7rSV6UegJ48rv-nkEmtj_rHpWN0B3srG4DnLtBf0-8y9BnPTeSBGhw-j3dYqw/s220/audreyk13.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Durham, NC, USA</georss:featurename><georss:point>35.977961017149276 -78.908676943750038</georss:point><georss:box>35.842859017149273 -79.031415943750034 36.11306301714928 -78.785937943750042</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609743964506146394.post-4731147393714198391</id><published>2011-08-04T14:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-04T14:53:00.904-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Green Smoothie~ Spinach and banana!</title><content type='html'>Recently, I have started a diet that significantly reduced the amount of simple carbohydrate and processed food I eat (the result of watching Fat, Sick, and nearly Dead via Netflix). &amp;nbsp;During the day, I try to have at least one smoothie meal which would contain some kind of dairy, fruits and/or veggies. &amp;nbsp;I saw this awesome awesome &lt;a href=&quot;http://edibleperspective.com/2011/06/recipes-for-mom-smoothies/&quot;&gt;recipe&lt;/a&gt; today, so I tested it out:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;1/2c plain yogurt&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 medium frozen banana&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3-4c loosely packed spinach&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The original recipe can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://aspicyperspective.com/2011/05/yogurt-cheesecake-with-orange-shortbread-crust-and-chambord-honey-drizzle.html&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here&#39;s my modification:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;For the Crust&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. one and half bags of graham crackers (about 1 and 1/2 cups) crushed in a plastic bag.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. 6 tbsp melted butter mixed in with the crust. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 min in 350degree F. oven.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;For the Filling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Three- 8 oz. packages of cream cheese&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. 1 1/8 cup sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. 5 large eggs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5. 2 tsp. vanilla extract&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6. 3 Tb. flour&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7. Pinch of salt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;8. several crushed blackberries and blueberries. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The process of making the filling was basically exactly the same as the original one, I just added some juice from the crushed blackberries and blueberries to add some swirls (&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;; first time doing the swirls...they are harder to do than they look).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikNANqm68P7MJIP50ZlNmqGJhld4iRVdh8HAcnxhUFLrlh6T9N8tx3An1NgG9oYDk5wz7-DO-ZXAjinBp-Mm3y9RXmDjhkKFzZuUKXcoEFvoF6eQXY4CALGz_kBb42RHJQ9w3y3e7ecxY/s1600/02.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikNANqm68P7MJIP50ZlNmqGJhld4iRVdh8HAcnxhUFLrlh6T9N8tx3An1NgG9oYDk5wz7-DO-ZXAjinBp-Mm3y9RXmDjhkKFzZuUKXcoEFvoF6eQXY4CALGz_kBb42RHJQ9w3y3e7ecxY/s320/02.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The baking process!!!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyhow, here&#39;s the result!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-lyyUu3Nr1JAgqN2DWCUGHPpSzax74b3acz3hOCq7cjtnfUfjlBf-lPvJOrK4RPZMDOVnSkrVrV3INCD2Bz6e2RS_c1ddSGzQpr_oOViNmJZQx8v5RZg2CVgH60gLZfSOHn3fV6XL5lo/s1600/03.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-lyyUu3Nr1JAgqN2DWCUGHPpSzax74b3acz3hOCq7cjtnfUfjlBf-lPvJOrK4RPZMDOVnSkrVrV3INCD2Bz6e2RS_c1ddSGzQpr_oOViNmJZQx8v5RZg2CVgH60gLZfSOHn3fV6XL5lo/s400/03.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As you can see, the swirls didn&#39;t turn out well. &amp;nbsp;I attempted to make some of the berry juice into hearts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After letting the cheesecake cool for about an entire night in the fridge, I placed a ton of berries on top of it to hide some of the ugly swirls. haha ^^;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here&#39;s the Final product!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46kl8sIZKGUvVTFHsByC4yaDmfUNvVPkhdDJAiiJm44otpwECZ0usLNDCHfdR4voAUAi1U9AQXUWjmIPI4kKJEusRQQxakkntdTL6MuFSZpr1etGZmYM97HK6QGMIUCi89wpDEULH3bk/s1600/04.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46kl8sIZKGUvVTFHsByC4yaDmfUNvVPkhdDJAiiJm44otpwECZ0usLNDCHfdR4voAUAi1U9AQXUWjmIPI4kKJEusRQQxakkntdTL6MuFSZpr1etGZmYM97HK6QGMIUCi89wpDEULH3bk/s1600/04.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
