Vacations + love + distance = Ican'twaittoseeyou Muffins



Right... so I am in love... a lot of people know that. But to those of you that don't I am very much in love
and though I would like to say that I am in love with cooking and baking and eating (which, don't get me wrong to a certain degree I am) I am more in love with a guy. 
A guy I've known for a long-long time. 
And though he may sometimes unleash the man-eating-beast inside of me he always manages to reduce the wrath before I increase my fun size and begin destroying the city and eating innocent people... 
Anyway... 

I went to Houston for a couple of days and my boyfriend was in Austin during that same time, expect he got to stay a couple of more days there. Work related stuff. And I came home and I was sort of missing him today and the day before and the day before that and the day before that, so in a very much predictable way, I decided to bake my missingness away n.n 
And it worked! 
Part of my success may be because he is coming back tomorrow xD and the other because this muffins were sinfully glorious! 


A banana-white chocolate muffin with white chocolate topping xD
Yum, right?

Work and a totally delicious Strawberry kind of cheescake

Hello, beautiful followers and random people are reading this. 
I apologize, yet once again, for being such a terrible blogger. 
However! Rejoice! 
For I have great news and a great recipe to share with you all n.n 

I have landed an awesome job... that I do for free... 
I guess you could call it a kind of Social Service that needs to be done so I can get my diploma from my cooking lessons, that are in reality a sort of Associates Degree kind of thing. 
Anyway... I landed an awesome job at this really nice, beautiful, really fun place called: La Estacion, Comida de Mercado. 
Now if you go back a few posts to January, you'll find that I spent New Years Eve at this same restaurant and that I fell in love with it, and surprise surprise I work there now! 
And I L O V E it! 
And even though I am the only girl, female, working there and it gets a little uncomfortable at times. I just love it. I've learned some tricks over the last weeks and have been so inspired I am sort of writing a Mexican Cookbook based on my experience in this restaurant and stuff. 
I've been there the last couple of weeks, so I've reduced my cooking hours at home quite a lot.
Yet I found the time to make this awesome kind of cheesecake! 

It turned out to be really really good. 

The crust so simple to do but extremely satisfying: 
I used icing sugar, butter and flour. Mixed them all together until I got a sandy-like appearance. Stuffed it in the fridge for an hour. 

The filling:
Is your regular cream cheese beaten with icing sugar and lemon drops until smooth and nice and tasty. 
with chopped strawberries (and I added bananas too).

The topping:
Are just graham crackers crushed into tiny nice pieces.


Easy and lovely! Just the way I like it!

Sick of being sick...

Is there anything worse than being sick!? 
Of course there is! 
There are thousands of millions of things that are worse than being sick! 
But for some reason, this rational thought seems lo leave us every single time we get sick. 
Take me for example, I got sick today. 
My ENTIRE family have been sick for the last two weeks. Sore throat, runny nose, cough, you know. I had counted myself as really lucky because so far I hadn't caught the virus-bacteria-whateverthehellismakingmesickrightnow. 
But mom decided to be ultra nice to me yesterday and coughed all over me and VOILA as easy as putting a cake batter in the oven, I got sick. 
I woke up with a sore throat and my voice has been reduced to nothing. 
And I hate it. 
I've been vomiting all day, not been able to hold anything in my stomach and I haven't been able to rest. 
I am so disgusting right now I have a small trash bin beside my bed in case I begin coughing and it comes out with a surprise.
Yes, that's how disgusting I am right now. 
Because being sick turns me into this disgusting excuse of a human. 
It's even sad. 
I missed out of making a chocolate mousse in school today because of it. 
I am in pain and sleepy and look like a zombie. 
**attempting to sigh** 
I can't wait to go back into the Kitchen...
