I constantly browse food blogs and was put into shock when I discovered this treasure... one of the most delicious looking pictures I've ever seen. Maple Cupcakes.... Send me to Canada with these and I'll be in heaven. These will most likely be made and taste tested this weekend... they better taste as good as they look.

Shoutout to Johnny Weir!!!!!!!//////////// Johny Queer!!!!!!!!

I have had a long (most likely unhealthy) relationship with competition figure skating, and the Olympics is certainly the time of year when it is at its peak. Johnny Weir is not to be missed representing the good ole USA. If you missed his performance on Tuesday evening tis shame.... quite the hilariously dramatic display complete with hot pink flare, shifty eye gestures, and he even blew kisses as a cherry on top. I'm pulling for Evan Lysacek tonight however, Sorry Johnny but I'm not sure America is ready to see that sass on a Wheaties box quite yet. And Plushanko.....honestly? How are you STILL able to compete in another Olypmics!!!!!???? If you win gold.... I can't even think about it.....

However, on a lighter note, I could not be happier because for the next two weeks my most favoritist things in all the world combine! Canada, Olympics, Figure Skating, Matt Laurer, maple, the today show...can life get any better? Its a real big problem actually as I don't leave my apartment because I will miss one of the many competitions I'm dying to see. I think I may be among the few who can resite the Olympic Oath who is not an Olympian.... I take great pride in that.

I've recently been asking people if they'll disown me if when I move to Canada to gain my Canadian citizenship... the answers I received..... yes. I'd ask these individuals to please reconcider. Canada can't help it that she is just THAT awesome. Happy Olympic Watching!!!!

O Canada!!!!

So recently I have developed a new found love for Canada. Maybe because the Canada film at Epcot is completely awesome, maybe because I have made some Canadian friends here, or maybe it is because it is gorgeous and I want to visit there like none other! Either way my Canadian friend Ainsley and I spent Canada day at the Canada pavillion at Epcot which meant for an awesome day.

These are the Canadian version of M&Ms only a million times better. The only way to describe them is that their taste is similar to sixlets.

Ainsley on the job at the Canada pavilion! They have the cutest costume... one of the best. On Canada Day the pavilion was throwing a party for it's cast members so Ainsley went back and got some food and brought it out so we could enjoy it together. This is what she came back with... Poutine ( a Canadian favorite which is basically cheese fries with gravy on top), a bag of chips, lemonade, tootsie pops, a mickey ice cream bar, and a free disney Canada pin. This may not excite anyone else but me but compared to what I got on the 4th of July from the emporium, ah hem........ nothing, this seems like the Taj Mahal.

So since I was working at the Emporium on the fourth I somewhat celebrated on the third. I somehow gave my shift away for friday and was able to see the 4th of July firework show that they did for two nights.

I went with Ainsley and here was our spot to watch them, from the polynesian beach. which was the perfect choice. They were so amazing. Fireworks were going off from the magic kingdom, the lake, pretty much everywhere. I tried uploading a video but it wouldn't work. Then afterwards we went to the Grand Floridian and did one of my favorite things, smores! Which reminds me, I watched The Sandlot the other day and forgot how hilarious that movie is. The great Bambino!

Anyways....they were showing the incredibles that night so we watched a little bit but we discovered that we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes so we left! I ended up with about 15 mosquito bites on my feet which made for a week of uncomfortable itching but hey, it was worth it.
