-Hanover is very cold. Soon my dad will no longer appreciate my greeting to him everytime I enter a room, "Our house is too cold. In Ottawa my house isn't cold." Seriously. It is freezing.
-The movie Penelope is marvelous. There were many things in it that I would not have guessed, and nothing too bad happens to anyone. It was very pretty looking, with interesting characters as well. And beer was drank with a straw! And she had a swing in her room!! And Catherine O'Hara was in it, playing once again a role as a self-enthralled mother. She does it sooooo well!!!
Also, I plan on naming my first daughter after Penelope. If I never have daughters, but do have a son, that unlucky kid is going to have Penny as his nickname. He will hate me.
-I have read Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret. I think the spiritual secret part is unnecessary. His life was interesting enough to be worth reading about. Learning about the growth of China Inland Mission is really cool.
-I also read the book, Desperaux. It is about a tiny mouse, with large ears, sentenced to death, slightly due to his love for a human, who(m?) he rescues. I dislike the character Miggy Sow. I also dislike the child abuse that takes place to Miggy Sow. I liked it over all.
-I made chelsea buns for the first time yesterday. It was pretty exciting for me. As the top with the nuts and fruits and carmel sauce is what really makes them taste good, next time I will make them less tall, creating more tops.
- I have created a recipe to make two cookies (they are very small cookies, so maybe it should be one normal sized cookie). This is perfect for people like me who will eat too many cookies if a larger recipe is used.
You need 3/4 teaspoon of margarine, 1 teaspoon peanut b., 1.5 ts of white sugar, 1 ts of brown sugar, smidgeon of baking soda and vinegar fizzed together, a smidgeon of vanilla or pancake syrup, a handful of flour, smidgeon of salt, baking soda, baking powder, and approximately 10 m&m's. Cream ingredients 1-4 together, add the next two, mix, add everything up to the m&m's and mix together, add m&m's and mix, bake at 350 degrees on parchment paper (avoids having dishes to wash) for 6-9 minutes (they should be pretty much the same colour). Wait 2 min. and eat. Yum.
