Yesterday I didn't get on the computer until 10:00 in the evening. It felt great. As much as I like just mindlessly looking at other people's lives through their blogs and facebook it was just refreshing. I should have more days like that. 

Instead I read a book. I was at the library, child free on Saturday, and so I had time to look at books for me. I saw this one called the Cinderella Pact by  Sarah Strohmeyer.



 I rarely pick up a book without a recommendation because there are so many dirty or frustratingly lame books out there-you know the ones where you just HAVE to finish but its painful to do it.  Anyway, this one somehow appealed to me.  It's like Confessions of Shopaholic meets, uh...how do I put this...fat girl???  I enjoyed it until the last two chapters where the main character became weak and I felt like I was watching a tween movie's rendition of Cinderella. 

....And Since I've been a food kick lately, I'll share the biscuit recipe I used for Strawberry Shortcakes that I thought turned out pretty good.  I got the recipe from my mom and I'm not sure where she got it from.

1 3/4 c flour
2 T Sugar
1 T Baking Powder
1/2 t Baking Soda
1/2 t Salt
1/4 c Cold Margarine
1 Egg
3/4 C Sour Cream

Mix the dry ingredients together. Cut butter into mixture. Cream egg and sour cream together then mix into dry mixture until moist. Take out and knead about 25 times. Roll out and cut into biscuit size pieces. Bake 425 for less than 10 minutes until golden.

Oreo Goodness

Just made some fantabulous cookies (yes, that is my made-up word). Double Fudge Oreo Crunch Cookies.  Pretty tasty.
I saw the recipe the other day and decided I had to make them so I went out in the pouring rain last night to buy some oreos. Totally worth it.
I also started browsing her blog, How Sweet It Is. YUMMY. I copied at least 10 recipes from her so that I can make them in the future. I think she goes over the top with some of her dessert recipes, like cake batter cinnamon rolls, really? Cinnamon rolls are a treat and I can imagine trying to make it better by adding cake batter flavoring. But I admire this woman's sense of adventure in trying new things out.
