Greetings! I’m checking in with this week’s freestyle nuggets o’fun. And a lot of fun it was—my half-birthday was yesterday! I celebrated by working 9-5. Actually, I went out to dinner with my bestie as well, but that was unrelated. I did, however, come home and improvise my way to a half-cake, which I baked at 10pm. I know.
I’m just enjoying my first bites right now since I couldn’t frost it until it cooled, aka a day later, and dang. It’s actually kind of amazing. The 0.5 part of 27.5 obviously makes a big difference where cake-baking is concerned. I’ll post the recipe soon. It involves coconut-cream cheese frosting. I know.
But seriously, folks, some links:
- Willow (yes, WillOW) Smith’s new single, Whip My Hair. I’ll just say it—I love this song. And the video. (That’ll be the 7.5 part of 27.5 talking.)
- HEAB’s Coconut Curry Rice. I “made” this in my new rice cooker for dinner tonight and like the half-assed cake, it tasted WAY better than it deserved to. I’ll post my adapted version of that soon as well, along with a review of the rice cooker itself.
- Butternut Squash-Goat Cheese Lasagna. Yeah, I know I shouldn’t link to my own post, but as I make my way through the leftovers, I’m realizing that this is probably the one thing I’ve ever made that’s actually restaurant quality, so it bears re-posting. Put it on your bucket list.
- Have you decided what to be for Halloween? Perhaps I could interest you in a slutty Cookie Monster costume, or even slutty wookie…eeeeee (I can never remember how many e’s are in that word)? I can’t even describe how ludicrous that costume looks, but hey, any excuse to dress as a slutty-anything, I guess.
As for myself, I’m kind of a party pooper where dressing up for Halloween is concerned. My interest in costumes expired when the flow of candy stopped. I do have a plan, though. I’m not going to dress up, but if anyone asks, I’m Alice Cullen.
Meh. Close enough.
Do you plan to dress up for Halloween?

1. I'm reading your blog instead of working. Helloooo Friday.
2. I see you pulling off that costume, I actually really like it.
3. I think I'm going to be Helga from Hey Arnold! for Halloween. This requires purchasing a gross white turtleneck at a thrift store and somehow finding a pink dress to go on top of it but I'm sure it's somewhere out there.
P.S. Read a fabulous review of Lot 2 in New York mag earlier, really looking forward to it!
Coconut cream cheese frosting? Yes please! You look eerily similar to Alice Cullen....in a good way!!!
Krista,
At least she makes me look tan! No easy feat. :)
Ha cute you made yourself a half cake! That's a good idea. I don't think I'll be celebrating halloween this year, but you should be Alice cullen. It'd be an easy costume(:
