Waaaiting at the Wedding

Now we all know that weddings can be pretty fun. You get good food, happy people, and (usually) a fun night of dancing. However, we also know that weddings can consist of ALOT of waiting around until they actually start the thing! So when my family and I went to a family friend's wedding, and when the waiting period began, my sisters and I decided it was time to get out of there and do something fun: photo-shoot.

"A raisin is really just a humiliated grape."









Just saw Benny and June- an adorable film!
P.S.- it was really fun to watch JD impersonate Buster Keaton/Charlie Chaplin/Harold Lloyd all in one movie.

Princess Diana

Sorry that I haven't posted in so long! I've been so busy! But through my hectic schedule I did manage to unearth a great coffee-table book amongst the many books on my grandma's book shelf- one about princess Diana. It had such awesome photos of her, I had to share some.
                                                                                                        

 

This makes me want to do pointe on a garden wall.

At the Harbour


Best way to spend a Wednesday afternoon: with my sister at the Dana Point Harbour! It even inspired our nautical look...

Pop-Tart Recipe

Someone asked for the recipe to my pop-tarts, which made me realize that I probably should have posted it in the first place (thank you Alexx). So here it is...
You Will Need:
1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed brow sugar
1 egg
3 and 1/2 cup un-sifted flour
1/8 teas. baking soda
1/4 teas. salt
1/2 cup hot water
jar of jam (about 10 teas.)
Beet together margarine and peanut butter until smooth. Add sugar and egg; beat until well mixed. Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt, and add to peanut butter mixture alternately with water, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Divide dough in half and follow steps above. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in oven for 7 minutes at 400 degrees. Let cool on rack, and toast before serving. Serves 10. Enjoy!

Pop-tarts: My Mommy's Style

Now I think that it is universally agreed that all desserts are better when home made. But home made pop-tarts- now that is something that everyone has to try! My mom found the recipe sometime in the 70's, and it has been a hit in our family ever since! Here's some pop-tart-making steps:

After you roll out the dough...

...and cut it into little squares...


...you put a spoonful of jam on one square...

 ...and cover it with the other square...

...and press all the sides down with a fork.


Ready for the oven!

San Juan Mission

Did you know that I live in the oldest town in Orange County? It was established 1776. Also, it's home to the San Juan Mission! You know, the mission that are dotted up and down California that you took a school field trip to visit when you were in 4th grade? Well, that is, if you're from here. Here's some of my favorite photos of our mission!

Shakespeare Show!

 My town's annual Shakespeare-in-the-Park Festival is coming up soon! Last year I was in  A Midsummer's Night Dream, where I got to play Sung-the-Joiner, and Cobweb, a fairy. It was so fun! I know that many people hear the word "Shakespeare" and automatically think how boring, but if performed right, one can really develop an appreciation for it. Here's some photos from last year's performance. :)


First play where I got to eat on stage.
