What I'm Listening To: Fotografia-Nelly Furtado ft. Juanes
My second favorite movie is Man on Fire with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. It's got everything--Spanish, bomb soundtrack, drama, torture, the Bible, revenge and awesome camera movement. It's literally a movie masterpiece. And no one can forget the acting, it's amazing. Unbelievably my dad had never watched it, so he was intrigued when he was supposed to be doing work. If you don't know what my favorite movie is, it's the Adventures of Robin Hood 1938 with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland--that movie has everything a top-notch movie should (classics rule, Gone With the Wind with Scarlett and Rhett are CRAZY).
Anyway, today is about my baking skills. I've discovered that baking has been a latent talent for me and I seriously want to start cooking awesome things for myself. I literally made 12 dozen cookies yesterday for my co-workers at ICM. It was semi-brutal, but they loved it. I made two pans of double chocolate chip cookies from scratch and there were only six left for me to bring home. The gluten free sugar cookies were huge and everyone seemed to like them. Although I went half off of the recipe and half by what one woman said in the comments, the cookies came out exceptionally well. They really weren't bad, and were a nice alternative/change. But that Bob's Red Mill flour was super expensive, like $10. I feel sorry for people who are allergic to gluten not because they can't eat regularly, but because they're probably going broke trying to eat normally. One of my co-workers can't have gluten, so I decided to make them. The sugar cookies on the other hand, were a different story. They were still good, just super thick so next time I'll put milk in them. One of my co-workers called them naughty...
I'll have to make the double chocolate cookies again when I leave, but so far I'm focusing on doing my homework for my journalism internship class and finishing up the book. I wasn't even aware how close I was to being done so I am definitely excited. Even though I'm not going to finish in the time that I wanted to, I am still going to finish in the next 2-3 months, maybe even before then!
