Apple Almond Pancakes

Today I made caramelize apple almond pancakes for breakfast! (sounds yummy huh?) nope not really.... haha for some reason the pancakes came out chewy! and i have no idea why! lol i followed the recipe step by step off foodnetwork.com But nope.. FAIL! the only really yummy part about it was the sugary apple topping i made haha =D

Anyways! i got my christmas present from gary extra early. haha he made it into a cute scavenger hunt. Its a super awesome griddle! i can make 9 pancakes at once! i wanted one ever since i saw howards awesome toast master one, but even that one could only hold 6 pancakes haha.

Today was nice, we got to spend the whole day more or less resting, and just watching hong kong drama all day =) using his "8 gig memory stick" aka (ipod nano. haha) to hook it up to the big screen tv downstairs. hehe

Around 11pm Me and ihui made brownies.. but we didn't have enough butter! hahaha so we substituted half of it for oil instead..(we only had 2 sticks and we needed 4! haha) and it didn't come out as yummy as jeanna's perfect brownies! we were so sad. T_T haha we also used unsweetened coco, i wonder if that made a difference. It was not as moist and not as sweet, but i guess they were still brownies, and brownies are always good. They just weren't those ultimately delicious ones we really wanted to make. haha Now we know butter is a very important ingredient and should not be substituted! ^^

Oh then we watched some food network! and i saw my brandy's grandparents company featured for making fortune cookies! i got all excited. haha

Now im just up waiting for myself to get sleepy since i took that 2 hour nap this afternoon, what a bad idea. But apparently my pancakes had a sleep inducing effect on everyone in the house as well. haha *sigh* who ever knew that flour sugar and eggs could induce such drowsy effects. haha =) Maybe i should have eaten some 3 hours ago.. then maybe i would be nice and sleepy!

Why is my hair so brown?

I have no idea.

Today I realized my hair is very very brown, no not that dark luscious black brown that most asians have, but a very plain brown.

I have no idea why. haha

Anyways! I think we may have figured out why I've been losing so much hair lately! Gary suspects it the San Diego water I've been drinking! Which kind of makes sense.. it was around the time i decided to swith from bottled water to brita water that my hair started falling out. So now were starting an experiment to see if my hair will actually stay in more =) hehe


Anyways!! awesome news Gary got in to med school! weeee! at case western. I've been looking in to nutritional programs there too. Which made me realize.. i have SOOO much to do.. omg haha. Recs, classes... etc. Better get started =) Next 3 months are going to be a bit crazy! but God willing, I'll get through it with flying colors! ^__^
