Fare Thee Well (MD and Butter Cake).

Dear Readers,

We would just like to take this time to make a shout out to our girl Millvina Dean, who recently passed on. She was the last survivor of the Titanic, and she has now gone to a better place. 
What a neat individual! But, stay strong followers because she lived a long 97 years. In the interest of not having two depressing posts in a row: Cake. 
Checkered cake, with butter cream and chocolate ganache, to be exact. A word to the wise: NEVER MAKE THIS CAKE. Here is why: 


  Stay classy, folks. 

xoxo,

My dearest friends. Allow me to first give a holler to my girl Millvina Dean. What a beast! That fine woman was lowered in a contraption of sorts into a life boat that indeed did save her two month old life from the famous sinking Titanic. Although I did not know of her until recently, I find her story fascinating and heart warming. 
Too bad she didn't make it to the big 100.

Secondly. Let me share some wise words with you. If you are making a cake, and you taste the batter and you think to yourself: "Hmm... sugar cookies.", then you have done something very wrong. Not only did the above cake taste like a hybrid between a cooke, brownie, and a fresh loaf of bread, but the frosting was a disaster. 
If the butter cream frosting you are making requires 6 cubes of butter, you have a problem. That isn't frosting. It's butter. And let me tell you, when you taste a nice big glob of that shit, you regret the day you were born. 
Luckily my roommate Dezz was in need of an exotic facial. 

 Laugh at me all you want, but it could happen to you. Let this be a life's lesson to us all. 
SHUT UP AND LISTEN

Millvina! Alas, she is gone. Perhaps if her family had tried out Carnival at first they wouldn't have been able to afford a cruise, like Gennarina and I, and they would have missed the death cruise known as the Titanic.
     This would have been an accurate schedule for the Titanic:
            Day 1: Fun Day at Sea
    Day 2: Fun Day at Sea
    Day 3: Death by Iceberg
    Day 4: Rescue Mission...if you're lucky!
 Anyway you guys something has come up and I gotta go. I have mad love for you guys!
    Peace Out Alfalfa Sprouts!

Lessons Learned.

Dear Readers,

Last night we had an interesting encounter with a bottle of white wine. As B-Money said before, we did indeed sit around and eat cake, but we were successful in our quest for spirits. 
And I think both of us wish we weren't. Stay strong, dear readers, because the insight we are about to share with you could save you from similar distress.

After much whining (or should I say 'wining'?) we finally got ahold of some wine. So we had a relaxing evening sitting around talking about nothing, when ALL OF A SUDDEN my friends, B-Money becomes ill. Here's the thing: we forgot to eat before downing our wine. Oops. That is absolutely rule number one, and we forgot.
What's interesting is that I quite rarely forget about food. I was just so distraught by my lack of vacation plans that I apparently lost my appetite. 

Everything turned out alright in the end though, because I nuked the hell out of a wheat bagel and made B-Money eat it, which I think she was slightly against at the time. And I made her down some water. So now she feels great and I have a slight hangover. All a sign of a good weekend. So next time you decide to drink too much wine, eat first. 
That is my advice. 
SHUT UP AND LISTEN

"We've all been there." Well, I was "there" last night. Man, oh man! I know this sounds innocent and pathetic, but I had never been fully drunk(let alone sick from spirits) in all my nearly 19 years. All I can say is, learn from my mistakes! I thought I learned from other people's mistakes but hey, it is true, sometimes alcohol just hits you. It never feels good to be welcomed into your best buddy's house and then to repay them by giving them the opportunity to take care of you while you're sick and incoherent. 

Let me just list for you the annoying things that incredibly drunk people do:
1. Constant Repetition
ex. "I'm so sorry" ( 22 times)
2. Getting sick in inconvenient places
That's all I have right now, but trust me there's many more.Anyways, when you drink wine, make sure you eat before and make sure you have a great best friend near by. Other than that party hard and try not to throw up. Peace out alfalfa sprout!

No vacation. No wine.

Dear Readers,
Welcome to our blog. We are pleased to inform you that this is how we are going to become millionaires. So, please keep reading.
This all began when we were planning a small cruise, which became far more expensive than we anticipated. We then pondered every vacation under the sun, only to be shot down by our small wallets. Then, we thought : "We are clever and good-looking." The previous statement could only mean one thing: make a blog and make millions. And don't worry, the faithful readers will be rewarded, with perhaps a fruit basket or a certificate to a popular kitchen supply store.
     Stay strong. Keep reading. Make us money.
        xoxo,
            g-rizz and b-money

This is bullshit. I mean, BULL SHIT. Last week at this time I thought I would be going on a fabulous Mexican Cruise this summer for only $184. Little did I know that Carnival Cruises makes clever use of the fine print on their website. Double that $184 my friends, and delete my excitement while you are at it. I mean, first, we think we are road tripping it to Canada. That is like the 18 year old's dream right? First of all, road trips sound appealing to almost anyone with any grain of sanity, PLUS the added bonus that Canadians have some sense and allow 18 year olds to buy beer. But with these hard economic times, I cannot afford to drive all the way to Canada and put myself up in a luxurious hotel while being fed grapes by a pool boy and sipping a cocktail all day. 
Next best thing right? CRUISE TO MEXICO. Shot down. 

My quest for wine, shot down. How in the hell is one supposed to have fun these days? You practically have to be a millionaire to get anywhere. Which, as you know, is why we began this blog. So that next time we want an adventure, we don't have to ponder the cost. 
I wonder if anyone has ever done an episode of MTV Cribs in their dorm room? Maybe we will be the first. 

In conclusion my friends, I am cranky, and parched. Meaning I am going to make the long trek to the fridge to get some water while B-Money gives her input on this crisis.
SHUT UP AND LISTEN

So. I thought we were going on a cruise; we are not. 315 dollars is just too much for "starving" college students, but enough with the complaining! We are young, exciting, and capable of great things! Carpe Diem! In other words, we're probs gonna sit around tonight and eat some cake. PEACE OUT ALFALFA SPROUT!
