This last week has had ups (really, really awesome ups!) and downs (nothing
that catastrophic), and I need to remember that I always have reasons to smile. Four of those current reasons-
 |
| 1- Homemade whiskey truffles, coated in cocoa powder! Easy and deeeelicious. |
 |
| 2- These earrings. I love these earrings. They really appeal to my inner geologist (since my outer geologist basically just makes maps all day...). Whats even better is that I thrifted these for like, $2. |
 |
3- A wonderful, chilly glass of chardonnay to top off an evening that doesn't involve derby practice.
|
4- Sorry, no picture for this one. But my biggest reason to smile this week is that I have finally been drafted to a team within my derby league! The team uniform that I will hopefully have soon will be the best outfit I own. THE. BEST.
Now its time to pick an outfit for tomorrow, continue consuming my wine, and play some video games!
Congratulations again! Derby is so rad.
ReplyDeleteI have a necklace that looks a bit like those earrings! Also thrifted, as a matter of fact. Man, is there anything thrift stores can't do?
Thank you! Have you considered playing derby? You may fall in love! Aaand, no, I don't think there is anything the thrift stores can't do. The ones by my house are basically MAGIC, and I miss them already (sad, its been like, two weeks...)
ReplyDeleteI love truffles. And those look delicious.
ReplyDeleteCare to share the recipe with your newest follower???
I'd love to share, these were easy, and if I do say so myself, totally delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou need 7oz dark chocolate (I used semisweet), 2/3 cup heavy cream, 3 tbs whiskey, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and cocoa powder to roll the truffles in. Just whip the cream and whiskey together till it gets thick and can hold its shape; melt the chocolate, and mix it into the whipped cream and whiskey along with the powdered sugar. I put it into the fridge for a couple hours, and then I rolled it into balls with my hands and rolled them in the cocoa powder- delicious :)
