  1. @Leelzebub I think that is a sign to RUN AWAY.
  2. Sometimes I wonder if I should make a profession out of making funeral brochures and videos - I certainly have enough experience.
  3. Flowers from my boyfriend's mother. instagr.am/p/LQqyMLPpXH/
  4. @android_eyes that is adorable.
  5. Goodness, but I know some awesome people.
  6. @nicolesteck Thank you! I appreciate it! :D
  7. And yet more apple rose pastries. In the background you can also see a lemon custard with slivered almonds. instagr.am/p/LIx5OpvpWO/
  8. @nicolesteck And the rose pastries turned out really well (if I do say so myself). Very apple-y, with hints of lemon. :)
  9. @nicolesteck Today I am making more rose apple pastries, quiche, and lemon custard with slivered almonds. :)
  10. I think my favorite thing about making pastries and desserts is the absolutely ludicrous amounts of butter it is acceptable to use.
  11. Day two of intensive pastry making begins... now.
  12. Apple rose custard pastries. I am extremely proud of these. instagr.am/p/LGvVIGPpYY/
  13. Drinking sangria and making apple-rose pastries. Life is pretty good right now. :)
  14. @SheridanSayles Thank you very much! :D
  15. Just scheduled another interview! Keep your fingers crossed for me! :)
  16. A few weeks ago I found a statue of Budai while cleaning out my grandfather's apartment. Now he sits on my desk smiling as I do work. Bliss.
  17. @doctor1010 Bruised arms, scratched hands, tense shoulders, battered ego. Nothing serious, thankfully. :)
  18. @nicolesteck except, alas, several did, and I announced it on twitter too. :) but yes! Ice is marvelous.
  19. @sfern Yes, thank you. Just banged up and bruised, mostly. It was more damaging to my ego than to anything else, I think.
  20. Let me tell you, falling down a flight of concrete stairs is a sure fire way to put a damper on the day.
