Merry Christmas everybody! :D Eat drink and be merry! It's a good thing I'm vegan this year because I stopped overeating ;D Anyway, I hope everyones been well and happy. I'm so broke from christmas
shopping, I spent all of my pay! And I just bought a planner for 2010 and I can't wait for it to come in the mail, it takes 2-3 weeks or up to a month but it's so cute I think I can wait D: But if
only it would come sooner! Oh but it's really expensive, it's about S40 for a little planner, it's the shipping I'm telling you. But it's going to last me a year so I'm just going to spend... My
iPod's been giving me problems, I hope it's not going to die on me soon D: D: D: But that's enough for today, MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!

Lesson learnt: always follow the recipe unless you're very sure. Always decide what you want to bake.
So I tried to make persimmon cake/bread and I couldn;t decide so I decided to make both, which turned out to be a mistake because even though the cake bread smells really good, the texture is just weird. I mean, imagine a cake made of whole wheat flour. Or imagine bread that is kind of heavy. So anyway, the cake bread was a disaster but I hate wasting food and especially my expensive organic whole wheat flour so I'm trying to think of how to save a cake. I think I'll layer it with ice cream and make it an ice cream cake.
Ah it's too bad, I really wanted to eat those persimmons. I can't get enough of those, I ate at least 7 this week already, I'm serious. I brought 2 into the cinemas yesterday because the craving was so big! haha but okay, I'm going to salvage the cake now :D

So I woke up this morning at 7 and realized that I was late for my gardening date with Mariel and by the time I got to her house it was 8, I was meddling about the house- I found a food processor
(YAY)- and was just in time to send Clara a bon voyage. So we cleaned up the garden and I sort of got over the fear of tiny crawling things, had nice cold tau huey at the market, cleaned up her
garden again and then I went home. With rosemary, indian peppermint and basil from Aunty Siti, and spent the past hour finding little jars (I dont have small pots) and replanting the little herbs.
It's quite nice, hanging by the kitchen window for convenience sake. If my sister wasn't in Netherlands with the camera I would totally post a picture but oh well.
I'm going to make pumpkin soup now :)

This morning, I woke up bright and early, had breakfast of soy milk and a half a slice of bread (I was kind of full) and I made guacamole, again! It's getting addictive, it's so easy and smells so
good. I'm really excited, got replies for babysitting (YAY!) and I really need to earn some money to support my vegan/organic diet and I need to get ready for christmas :D
Yesterday, I went to Many's house and we watched one hindi movie which was nice, it's called 'Wake up Sid' and I was so inspired with the girl's house, it's so pretty! Besides the fact that Many had to pause the movie to translate for us since there wasn't subtitles, it was really nice! And her mum so kindly gave me recipes for some really nice soups. And I need to go to Mustafa one day, to get plum syrup which is really good for you apparently.
LOVE THIS :D
