I now declare this bazaar open

As much as I don't like cooking (and I kind of suck at it, too), I adore baking and pastries-making. I guess it's just the way things roll, beginning with me if I make too much.

Anyway, fiefsflee asked for a recipe for truffles earlier, and I gave her my favorite one. And after sending that reply, I though of another good one. And another.
And then I though 'screw this, Imma make a post about chocolate'.

And so, lo and behold, a post about chocolatey things:


( You'll have to embrace the metric system, though. )

So yeah...

HEY KAIFACE, IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU if not just tell me and I'll try to think of something else.

Or, you know, you could just ignore this altogether. =D


Nota bene: Some people prefer using couverture instead of simple chocolate, when they make truffles. I myself just can't be bothered. =D

I know, I know, me again, but... but... THIS:

Guys, I just read something about one of the lulziest people ever: Samuel P. Langley.
Not only did he appoint himself as a curator of an exhibition-room he created, but he also wrote a letter to himself accepting the position.

Just, look at this. I mean, come on:

The secretary of the Smithsonian [that's Langley] has been pleased to confer upon me [that's Langley, too] the honorable but arduous duties of the care of the Children's Room. He has at his service so many men learned in Natural History that I do not know why he has chosen me.
It has been my purpose to earn his trust and to carry out what I believe to be his intention[...]

I think this man is one of my favorite dead people, now. And look at him! He totally has 'lulz' written all over him.

*swoons*

*dies*

I think I just found the most beautiful sentence in the midst of a very boring book:

"'Word and image' has become something of a hot topic in contemporary art history, largely because of what are often seen as invasions of the visual arts by literary theory.[...]
Not surprisingly, the border police are on the alert to protect the territory of art history from colonization by literary imperialism."
- W.J.T Mitchell, 'Word and Image', in Critical Terms for Art History-

'Literary imperialism'. Heee. ♥


...

Ok, did I just reach a new level of 'nerd'?

On the other hand, the fact that I actually noticed some irregularities in the pattern of my parquet while 'reading' the book just shows how boring some parts of it are.
Yes.

I just woke up with a spider in my hair. A spider. In my hair. A spider in my hair!

The flailing, she was intense and totally undignified.

Religious studies = Death by reading.
's true.
