Pinterest Fail

I've been back from Disneymundia for about 3 weeks now and I've been craving some Dole Whip. You know that yummy stuff that you get over in Adventureland (or maybe that was the giant turkey leg in Adventureland). So what does one do when craving something over a thousand miles away? Look up the recipe on Pinterest, duh! (Also this post is for all those whose Pinterest inspirations don't come out the way they had hoped.) 

I checked every single pinterest pin from different websites to see comments from other bloggers for their suggestions and they all said their Dole Whip turned out delicious and that this recipe was the best and easiest... I'm not really sure what that means about my ability to cook and follow directions.

 

Well folks that is the look of a very dissapointed person. And yes that hand mixer is older than me, thanks for noticing. It's vintage. It's in right now. And I don't wanna go buy a new one. So what do we do late at night when it's 10 PM and your Dole Whip creation turned out...not like Dole Whip? We go to to the store and buy things for guava cake for dessert the next day, because you know you can make that. And luckily that one was delicious. So maybe I'll never get married because I can't make Dole Whip but my dog loved eating it and he's the only opinion that matters to me. He'll never say I burnt the chicken for dinner. Thanks Samson for always being there for me.

It's Juicing Time!

So I recently found myself in possession of a juicer. Let's check that off my to buy list (thank you fellow coworker for the juicer). And for a few days I've been experimenting with what "recipes" I like the best. I'm not sure if you can call them recipes because you don't really cook.
Spinach and apples? Yuck.
Spinach and carrots and apples? Yuck.
Spinach and carrots and apples and oranges? Yummmmmm.

Here's my "recipe" this yummy concoction:

-1 large orange (I bought the Sunkist brand because they were on sale)
-1 large apple (I used a Fuji apple for this one, but I'm gonna try all different types)
-7 small baby carrots
-1/4 cup of spinach


I know in the picture it looks really gross. But I promise you it tastes so much better. If you don't believe me, TRY IT! And if you still think it's gross, then maybe you're wrong...or maybe I've just got some weird taste buds. I mean I prefer turkey burgers over hamburgers. But hey they're delicious, don't knock them until you try them.
