X-mass

So I sit there not expecting much because I already got a new skin suit right? I open this huge box and inside is this sketchy briefcase. So now i'm thinking.... Is the briefcase my present?? Thats weird!! I open it and inside is *drum roll* A NEW STAYBENT SHARPENING FRAME!!!!!!!! So im there freaking out all over the place and on the sides it says "El Ojo del Tigre" under my name. Im thinking this is Martys doing, so I went to call him to tell him how awesome he is for making this. (Marty- I had to leave you a message, you didnt answer!!) Jerry is awesome too because he also made it!!!! And thanks mom n dad for dishing out to get me this, dang what a cool present! The thing is, now I have to skate some amazing races to deserve this!!!

Heres me opening it,



getting confused,



and freaking out.





I freaked out again after noticing the "El Ojo del Tigre"




Setting it up...


HOW COOL IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!



I also got some spiffy new tips!!!

You know, just in case I forget which way to go.

Snow Cyclist!!!



If your wondering, he's changing a tire. Doesn't it kinda look like Jim? You know, hes got the carrot and all...:P Unfortunately, this unsuspecting cyclists' face will be attacked by a hungry deer tonight! (The nose is a Keylime leftover from a keylime pie I made yesterday! Amazing what you can do with leftovers...)

More Baking...

I found this amazing site while looking for cookie recipes, Joy of Baking...this has to be the best baking site out there!!! I found a Hot Cocoa recipe (which I modified to make better :P)

2.5 Tbl cocoa powder
1.5 Tbl Agave nectar
1.5 c milk

What you do is in your favorite big mug/cup (its better if its thick, the thicker/heavier/stronger the drink, the thicker the cup should be!) you make a paste out of the cocoa powder, agave nectar and a little milk. You heat the 1.5c milk on the stove until its really hot, then mix it in with the paste. If you like it thick and fluffy put it in the blender. Another thing that makes it better is adding a pinch of chili pepper.

You may be wondering why the appearance of the cup matters, well, it just does. Trust me, if you have a really nice cup it just makes the cocoa taste better!

Heres a picture of mine!



Maybe it should be a little thicker, but its dark and light at the same time with cool patterns and I love it! It's so big it might also double as a bowl. I got this at Ikea, the coolest store on the FACE OF THE EARTH.

Cookies Are On

I've decided that for x-mass this year ill make a bunch of different cookies. I have no idea what kinds of cookies people like for the holidays though. I want to make some fancy ones, with weird flavors and cool decorations. Any ideas? I also might make some mini-cakes!! Maybe spice cake with maple frosting? Actually, what might be interesting is a cake with cookies on it!!! Or...a giant cookie with a cake on it!!!!

Heres one I will try, with coconut and pandan flavors!
