cookies, cake & ...paradise lost

i've been planning posts in my head all day today.

they always work out quite well in my head. i have a wonderful conversation to myself, describing events, ideas, and expanding on things. a lot of it has been revolving around food lately. i've been eating a lot of food lately. i baked this weekend, which...i have discovered is probably not a good thing to do, when you have little to occupy yourself with the following week but study for an exam. i write out one character profile, and contented with myself, head upstairs for one or two sweet and salty chocolate chip and walnut cookies, and then a small sliver of cranberry walnut coffee cake.
...which turns into another small sliver, and then an other, so that as i stand over the cake pan shoving it into my mouth, i might as well have just eaten a whole slice, politely with on a small plate with a fork.

my mother bought walnuts this weekend, which is why all the things i have been baking have walnuts in them. i can't say i mind all that much. roasted walnuts have the potential to be most delicious.
the cranberry sauce, in the coffee cake however, was left over from thanksgiving. and not being American, that means it was about two months old, which seemed slightly gross...until i decided to write it here. now it doesn't really seem that gross anymore, but it probably still is.
it smelled fine, and on the cake it still tastes delicious, i figure you keep jam in the fridge for months, why not cranberry sauce?

mmm, and speaking about food, tonight for supper i made a tomato, onion and feta frittata. i am amazed constantly at how absolutely delicious eggs are as a component in almost anything.
almost anything. i'm sure they could be quite gross in something....i'm wracking my brain for an example of something that eggs would taste quite gross with:
peanut butter, is what comes to mind.
but i'm sure...you make peanut butter cookies with eggs in them sometimes.

if i had a camera i would post pictures, and i was thinking about posting the recipes up here too, but i'm not sure how interesting that would be. i probably will start eventually. maybe next time i bake i'll feel the urge. or if anyone is actually very interested, feel free to contact me. i will probably be in the sharing mood.
probably.

anyways. i'm thinking eventually i'll post some of my art work up here, and maybe rant about the ideas of art and concept, and the title of artist in itself.(yuss, exciting!) maybe i'll attempt to explain my slight dislike for school, and my hopeful future plans. i'm hoping eventually i'll start reading books again without feeling guilty that i should be studying, (accursed stifling exams!) and then i'll find some fantastic interesting quotes for you.

aha, today i sat down with Paradise Lost by John Milton, a book i've always been meaning to read, and after trying to read a page, decided to go back to studying. Guess i wasn't in the epic sort of mood.

well, that's the last of the contents in my head that i can organize into slightly functioning paragraphs at moment. i'm going to go crochet a random square and watch a few episodes of America's next top model.
be proud?
