Our Venue

We are going to tie the knot in style at the Smog Shoppe!!!!!!! It's played out, a little pricey, but I don't care. I love the plants, the eclectic design elements, and the relaxed and peaceful vibe. Future husband likes it, too. What matters is that we both love it...even though neither of us has stepped foot in it. hahha. All haters step aside!

I present to you our venue...

FURIKAKE SNACK MIX- THE BEST SNACK EVER

furikakesnack

I first ate this snack 12 years ago and once I start eating them, I can't stop. You should make some too, so we can get fat together. haha. I like to add M&Ms to my mix, but you can add anything you please. I usually just use one box of Crispix and eyeball the amount of the melted mixture I want to use. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Lillian, you should try making these again. You can do it!!!! hahah.

Furikake Snack Mix


Ingredients
2 boxes Crispix
1 bottle Nori Furikake
1 block Butter or margarine
1/4 C Sugar
1/2 C Vegetable oil
1/2 C Karo light corn syrup
2 Tbsp Shoyu

Cooking Instructions
Heat butter, sugar, vegetable oil, corn syrup, and shoyu over medium heat. Pour over cereal and mix. Sprinkle furikake evely and mix again. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour tossing every 20 minutes. Best if using large foil roasting pan for mixing cereal.

SELF PORTRAITS

I was browsing through my old photos last week and noticed I have enough self-portraits to make up an entire collection. haha. It's crazy, but I can remember what I was feeling, thinking, and going through at the time. Some of these were just for funsies. I know, this post is really vain. hahha. Enjoy!
