Ice Cream Bread! (+) recipe

Wtf, ice cream bread??? Haha that was my first reaction when I stumbled upon the recipe. I never thought of baking ice cream before, but I guess it is just like milk/eggs...

But still, bread made from ice cream!

RECIPE:

Mix ice cream (1 cup) & self-rising flour (3/4 cup) together.

If you don't have self-rising flour.... you'll never be able to make ice cream bread.

Just kidding hehe. Quick fix:

"As a substitute for self-rising flour, place 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 3/4 cup."

Until it turns into a dough-y mixture...

Then bake 350° for 30 min (or until the toothpick is clean, you know the drill!)

And viola, final product:

Looks like a pretty nice loaf of bread huh? No one would ever guess that it's made from ice cream!

The crust was my favorite part, since it was actually nice and crispy! The bread itself was kind of like a dense cake, but that may be because I used low-fat ice cream (against the advice of the recipe people). It also was not that sweet, which some may like, but I would probably add sugar or honey next time, or even some chocolate chips!

I definitely recommend trying this recipe out because it's just SO CRAZY! GO GO GO!

Salmon Fried Rice

Don't you love it when your food is yummy and hot and SEXY?!

So pretty much all my roommates have moved out for the summer, so I am ALL ALONE. Which means I have too much time on my hands. Recently, I've been trying to make really pretty dishes, and this is one of my first creations :3

I showed a pic to my friend and he was like "Why would you do that... now you have to wash more dishes" but ALL WORTH IT IN THE END, YEAH?

If you want to the recipe (courtesy of me hehe):

Salmon
Frozen peas
Brown rice
Sesame oil
Salt
Soy sauce

~all to your liking HAHA

Marc Jacobs vs. Kate Spade vs. Michael Kors watch

"Sometimes, your world just flips upside down.
Some would call that an epiphany."

-Me.

LOL I'm so lame, but let me share my vain epiphany with you.

It's weird .. after my (almost) 21 years of living, I have never considered watches as "jewelry." But recently, I've been looking into watches... and as a college student with no car, I have resorted to online browsing. I was so surprised to see that watches were under the JEWELRY section!

And after looking at the first page of watches, I could see why. These watches were blinged up with like crystals and diamonds, and so many were designed by name brands usually known for their fashionable clothing/purses.

Here are my top 3 watches, along with my personal pro's & con's. I'm split pretty equally between the 3 lovely watches, so here is my plea to y'all reading this....
