Not My Favorite But This One Makes Me Laugh

Strawberry Mint Lemonade

½ C. Granulated White Sugar

½ C. Water

4 Lemons, Juiced (about ½-¾ C.)

½ C. Sliced Strawberries

1 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar

¼ C. Fresh Mint Leaves

2 C. Water

(I know the way I wrote out the measurements is funky, but it is divided for how it needs to be used.)

Begin by slicing your strawberries and put them in a small bowl. Toss with 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar and set aside.

In a small pot, stir together ½ cup granulated white sugar with ½ cup water. Turn the burner on low and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat.

Either chop up your mint leaves or grind them in a mortar and pestle to release the oils. Mix it in with your strawberries. After about 10 minutes, mash up your strawberries with a fork or potato masher to help release the juices.

Add your strawberry-mint mixture to a small container (I used a jar, but you can use a small pitcher or whatever you have on hand). Pour warm simple syrup over the fruit and let stand for a few minutes. Mix aggressively, or shake if you are using a jar. Add the lemon juice and 2 cups of cold water. Stir well. Let stand in the fridge for several hours, or overnight.

If you are like me and hate pulp in your drinks: let the mixture stand overnight and strain into another container to get rid of the floaty bits. 

Note: I like pretty sour lemonade, so if you don’t love sour things either use less lemon juice or increase the amount of simple syrup. 

Happy anniversary to our first look at Wilson. Your hair will be missed 😔

“You can’t feel my heart” I said

“I don’t need to” you replied

“Not even I can get through the wall” I said

“Then let’s sit here and wait” you replied

And so we sat against the wall, waiting

And slowly, the wall started to crumble

MAGICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ever wonder why your mom’s chocolate chip cookies tasted so good? I always did that’s for sure.

My grubby toddler hands would snatch one from the kitchen and cram it into my mouth, melted chocolate dripping from my chin. Turns out Magick can explain it.

For comfort

Directions

Start by heating your oven to 375ºF.

Now in a kitchen aid on medium speed, beat your shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until very light and airy. About the duration of 2 plays of the song Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka

Beat in egg. Now in a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. 

Now with your chocolate chips pour in until your heat says stop. If you wanna add the whole bag then you add the whole damn bag.

With a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Now I know there is no such thing as a perfect chocolate chip cookie, but these cookies are definitely hella addictive. In fact, is that your third cookie?

I love you all! My DMs, mail, and comments are always open! 

xoxo, Angel.

just discovered RSL was Atticus Finch in a 2013 play of To Kill a Mocking Bird. I’m going insane trying to find any photo or video evidence of this.
