Our celebration of lesser-known holidays!

This will be a very brief post about how we celebrated TWO not so famously famous holidays in America at least.

Here is a not-so-subtle hint to help you guess the first one:

As for the second one, you'll just have to read on because it's a surprise!

Cupcakes and Immunity-boosting Strawberry Hot dogs

So for today, I'll be writing about two timeless and classic desserts which everyone can remember fondly from their youth: Red Velvet Cupcakes and, of course, Strawberry Hot Dogs with Immune Defense.

AAAAASSSIAAN FLAAAAVORS

Can I just say that it irks me to no end when people on Top Chef say that they're going to use "Asian flavors" in their food all the damn time? It makes me slightly nervous that some cannibal is lurking behind the couch ready to pounce and boil me in a giant vat with the Thais, Japanese, Indians, Koreans, Malaysians, and Vietnamese, so that all our pan-ethnic juices (which is just ordinary soy sauce, because that is of course the ultimate essence of Asianness) combine harmoniously to make Asian Flavored Stew.

So yeah.

But ANYWAYS, David & I have a LOT of catching up to do with regards to blogging about cooking projects, and David is insisting that I go first.  So, I'm going to Asian flavor it up hardcore with THREE MEAL ADVENTURES!!

Hallow-day, Part 2

So it took me a while to finally get around to writing this, and also this title in inaccurate, as this blog post is about Halloween night and Serena's is the one about Hallow-day. However, I wanted to make an obscure reference to an old Homestar Runner cartoon that I just thought of. So I did.

And, yes, I ended a sentence with a preposition. You deserved it.

Anyway, once we got back from the farm museum, we began preparing ourselves for Halloween night. The week before, after much debate (I was pretty much stuck on Santa Claus or a bear since I already have costumes for those) and many hours scouring eBay, we had settled on being a circus bear and a circus bear trainer as our costumes. I had a bear suit already (don't ask) and so just purchased a tutu to complete the costume, while Serena ordered a figure skating outfit on eBay, purchased a whip, and did her own makeup.

HALLOWEEN festivities part 1: FARM MUSEUM!!

SO I bet you thought we moved past our blogging phase, or stopped having AWESOME ADVENTURES due to our 1 month lapse.  But this is not the case!  We have been sooo busy having awesome adventures and we're just so naturally inclined to laziness that we have not been documenting it all until now!  So expect to see a glut of catch up posts from us :D

We had both wholesome and unwholesome fun on Halloween.  First, we went to the Queens County Farm Museum!!  I think the last time I went was in Kindergarten for our class trip to teach us what farms and farm animals are supposedly like.  Because it is so relevant to NYC kids.  They had a pretty cute Halloween setup going on though, with a lot of kids dressed up in ridiculous costumes.

But LOOK it's DUCKS!
