Despite the frigid 38° I craved something sweet and cold. Well, darn I finished off that B&J three days ago what was a girl to do? Plus I really needed a break from school...hmm
I had a 16 ounce bag of frozen organic strawberries and some pineapple juice. Well, its time to whip out that ice cream maker and make some sorbet. 

So, I pulled out the trusty Cuisenart food processor. I stuck the whole bag of frozen strawberries, maybe 2 cups of pinapple juice, 3-4 teaspoonfuls of blonde coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. *Note to self, next time use a blender

Ah...my product in its stages


Okay so my pictures don't do justice. The color is a really pretty vibrant pink. It's pure unadulterated strawberry goodness. Jam packed full of vitamin c, vitamin b, fiber, and apparently magnanese.

My first ranting: I am so darn tired!! Cumulative hours of sleep this week: 8  Why the madness? Because I am a chemistry major and p-chem is killing me! Today was our first exam and I managed to finish four of the ten pages in the one hour time frame I was given. That on top of advance organic, biochem II, labs, and a 30 hr workload. I am POOPED! Slight insomnia sucks too. I was supposed to finish my mechanisms for advance organic today but that didn't happen which means even more crap to finish tomorrow...

Did you ever wonder what is the point of going to college? So much money and time invested for a piece of paper which may or may not get me that awesome job I always dreamed of. Wait, what was my dream job?....
SO if any of you out there are chemistry majors, what route did you take? I'm thinking lab work?? Perhaps something in food research... two of my many loves. Chemistry and Food.

My current obsession however is french macaroons. They are so delish!! I bought the almond flour a couple of weeks ago from Whole Foods so I hope it is still good to use. I'm excited to see how they turn out, I'll have to post my outcome for you guys to see. I've done extensive research on making the perfect macaroon but I have never had great luck with perfection.

Hello World Wide Web

This is my first blog so please be gentle. I am hoping that this becomes a another outlet for my constant rantings related to school, work, and of course relationships. I think my family will be rather amused since I won't have to rant to them as much and perhaps my stress levels will decrease....
So watch out here comes another blog chock full of the rantings of a crazy asian girl and perhaps a sprinkling of extras.
