Peeps March 25, 2008

Every year the local newspaper has this contest where you make a diorama out of Peeps. I’ve never entered before, but this year my siblings and I decided to do it. We made Professor Snape’s Potions class. It was fun to make. We made it entirely out of food. The cauldrons are these little brownies they sell where I work. We gouged out the insides of them and put melted marshmallow with food coloring in them to be potion.

But we didn’t win. Oh, well. Here are some pics.

We also dyed some Easter eggs. I made a Gryffindor one, a Slytherin one, and a duck one using this plastic thing that you put around the egg.

And at work last night, I bought some cheap Easter candy. I love when all the candy goes on sale. All the bulk Easter candy was 99 cents a pound, so I got a pound of that. Plus a couple truffle filled chocolate eggs that were only 89 cents down from $7. Good deal.

 

Sushi March 15, 2008

Ever since work last night I’ve wanted some sushi. I worked in the cafe section of the store last night and a lot of people bought sushi. I love vegetable sushi. I’ve never tried the kind with raw fish, it just doesn’t appeal to me. So for dinner tonight we went to a Chinese buffet and I got some sushi. I had the kind with cream cheese, carrots, and cucumber. It was yummy. I also had beef with broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and lo mein. And my fortune was ‘you are patient and caring’. LOL, I’m definitely not the most patient person in the world.
