Are you a fan of delicious flavor?

Haha, is anyone here a fan of Psych? My BFF came over a few weeks ago and we made pineapple upside-down cake in my Easy-Bake Oven. Here's the recipe that actually WORKS.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE:
1/4 cup yellow cake batter
3 teaspoons pineapple juice
1 slice pineapple; drained, cut in half
brown sugar
Grease Easy-Bake Oven pan lightly.
Cover bottom of Easy-Bake Oven pan with brown sugar. Arrange thin slices of drained pineapples over brown sugar. Mash lightly with spoon.
Pour cake batter over pineapples.
Bake about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Serve cake with pineapple side up.

And it works! Here's a pic of our cake.

Anyways, Shawn's lightbulb wattage was WAYYY too high. Maybe that's why his cake didn't cook correctly.

Ciao, and pull out your own Easy-Bake Oven to bake with! Ahh, what memories... (Warning: Clean the oven before preheating. You most definately do NOT want your lovely oven to start smoking because you neglected to remove the white cake from sixteen years ago. Yes, they're THAT old.)

Book Review: Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies

TITLE: Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies
AUTHOR: Erin Dionne
READING LEVEL: 9 and up
PAGES: 256
SYNOPSIS: Celeste Harris used to be perfectly comfortable with her weight. She also used to think nothing would make seventh grade worse than super-popular, super-mean Lively Carson's persistent insults and attempts to steal her best friend. But then her aunt secretly signed her up for a pageant for plus-sized girls against her will, and suddenly it was clear: Things could be much worse. So Celeste crafts a plan - she'll sacrifice her chocolate cookie obsession, lose weight, and shrink right out of the competition.

Ah, I LOVE this book, and I love Celeste (you can actually see the Manga sketch of her I did on sketchwriteress.blogspot.com)! I guarentee you will too by the time you finish it. There are SO many hilarious escapades, I was laughing my head off by the end. This is actually Erin Dionne's first book, and I thought it was spectacular-- mostly because I relate. Dionne shows how to be a HuskyPeach in this SkinnyBanana world! Dionne has written two other books: The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet (just as funny as Models, if not funnier) and Notes from an Accidental Band Geek. I was sorely disappointed when I read this last one, expecting the best, like before.... but Dionne didn't deliver (haha! alliteration!). Elsie was a brat, disrespectful to her parents, and it really wasn't a strong plot (like Models... it was such a novel idea. I loved that one best, I must admit. My apologies if this post is a little biased). So I suggest: read Models, then Hamlet, then stop there.

My rating: 6 out of 5 stars!

Hola, Bonjour, and Hello

Hello, good friends!

How has your day been? Oh, please, be honest.

For the very few (which = no one) who follow my site (or look at it rather often), sorry for the Janus crest awkwardness. I needed to grab those pics from a site (but they would only let me put it on a blog)...
so long story short, they meant nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

Unless, of course, you are a...

39 CLUES FAN!

I just found this series and it has to be one of the best things that has happened to me! I've read all of the first series, and #1 in the second. I'm an agent on the site (very cool, by the way, but to do the main part of it you have to buy books. And I'm a library sort of girl) and it is rather exciting. Fav book of the series: number 4. Most romantic, so therefore, the best of the whole series. :D

I HATE IT WHEN AMY GETS A BOYFRIEND! IAN IS MEANT FOR HER!
(Maybe I should have said *SPOILER* right there... Sorry.)

So what else is new? Well, on my charrie site (sketchwriteress.blogspot.com) I just put up a new post.

Sorry I haven't been on... I've been grounded. From the computer. But now obviously I'm not, so... ah... yes. moving on.

Sad news! Jake, from Teenage Writer (teenagewritingrocks.blogspot.com), will not be blogging too much lately, as he is without internet. I'll miss his witty comments!

So one last thing before I let you go...

Some poetry from me! (Because everyone knows poetry is SO my thing.) Actually, it's more of a nursery rhyme...

MARY HAD A LITTLE MAN,
LITTLE MAN,
LITTLE MAN,
MARY HAD A LITTLE MAN,
SHE KEPT HIM IN A CAGE.

THE LITTLE MAN GOT OUT ONE DAY,
OUT ONE DAY,
OUT ONE DAY,
THE LITTLE MAN GOT OUT ONE DAY,
AND LOCKED MEAN MARY UP.

Lovely, no? I was going to do a box, because it's not as cruel, but the cage was more realistic. Mary wasn't a very upstanding young lady.

Ciao for now!
