Yeahhhh, I know, I know. It took me forever to get this up, but ya know, I’ve been a busy gal, haha. Anyway, here’s the video:

Here’s some more random video footage from May 2009’s Hawaii trip smushed into 10 minutes (and 29 seconds).
Alicia, Elissa, Karri, and myself went out there for a week to celebrate my birthday and just get away from a lot of the craziness we were all dealing with. Coincidentally, our friends Phily and Alex were out there at the same time, as well.
Like a lot of the other Hawaii vids, there are a lot of inside jokes that nobody else is going to get…. so you’re basically watching another video of us being goofs. But hey, [...]

So for those who have known me for years, or for those who have been following me since January, you might remember that I had a Hellish start to 2009. From all of the deaths that I have personally had to deal with, to all of the times I’ve gotten ridiculously sick, to that time that I almost ended up hospitalized, to a handful of other things that just aren’t really worth mentioning anymore… Let’s just say that the first half of this year has by far been the worst I’ve ever had yet.
Fortunately, it was times like these that I was reminded how lucky I really am. It was times like these that I am reminded how lucky I [...]

This is the recipe we found from Simply Recipes for a dozen apples:
Ingredients:
- 1 1-pound box dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon robust-flavored (dark) molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 sturdy lollipop sticks or chopsticks (we used wooden skewers)
- 12 medium apples
Directions:
1 ) Combine sugar, butter, condensed milk, corn syrup, maple syrup, vanilla, molasses and salt in a thick-bottomed 2 1/2 or 3 quart saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon on medium-low heat until all the sugar dissolves. There should be no grittiness (sugar crystals) when you test by rubbing a little of the [...]

Karri and I took this from Paula Deen’s recipe with a few moderations of our own:
Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese
- 2 cups of canned pumpkin, mashed
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 egg, plus 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 1 cup of Half & Half
- 1/2 stick of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- pre-made graham crust
- whipped cream for topping
Directions:
1 ) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2) For the filling: (in a large bowl) beat the cream cheese with a hand mixed beater (or if you don’t have one, you can do what we did and put it in a blender) to soften. Put in the [...]

As much as I love Halloween, in the recent years, I’ve been more about being lowkey than going out and raging for three days straight. Although I was planning on going to my friend’s house party on Friday, my body was NOT having it at all and I slept for 14 hours instead. I know, it’s not very exciting, but when you hustle and bustle as much as I do with work, sometimes you just need to sleep.
Anyway, fortunately I felt a lot better Saturday for my original plans. Karri and I kicked off with a late lunch/early dinner at one of our favorite little Thai spots in Los Angeles: Jarin. From there, we went grocery shopping for ingredients to [...]

Here’s another video from my Hawaii trip back in May:

May 2009 in Hawaii. After a brutal hike through Waimea the day before, we decided to take a day off and just grill and relax.

Here is a video from last May when some of my girls and I went to Hawaii for my birthday. In this one, we spent my birthday hiking for hours…

For my 26th birthday, the girls and I decided to take a very, very long hike through Waimea. – WARNING: This video is full of a whole bunch of inside jokes that you probably won’t get.
