Vegan Update #6: Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo

I realized just recently that I actually made my Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo and I forgot to post about it! I took pictures and everything and it slipped my mind completely. But I'll post about it now!

So, the night that I made the dish started out with me being super optimistic. I was excited to make and eat it, and after that, everything fell apart.

Everything went smoothly in the beginning. I got out all of my ingredients, and started following the recipe.

Gary helped me out a lot! He helped cook the veggies while I made the noodles. Basically, when you make this dish, you cook all the veggies and then blend them together to make the sauce, then pour it over the noodles.

The problem was, when I was draining the noodles, I accidentally dropped them into the sink. In soapy water. I immediately started crying, I couldn't help it. My noodles were ruined. Gary had to drive to Meijer and buy me some more while I just sat there all upset.

Then, he tweeted about it. It was pretty funny actually, after I got over the fact that I'm the most clumsy person on the planet.

To make matters worse, I'm not the best cook. When I went to blend all of the veggies together, they were super hot and I didn't close the lid all of the way on the blender. It ended up all over my hands and I was really badly burnt. Not badly enough to go to the hospital or anything, but badly enough to make my tears come back.

The food was good, though. I guess the lesson I learned here was that I'm kind of a giant baby who really shouldn't be allowed near a kitchen...

Until next time!

Beauty Awakening: Something New

I said that I was going to go a new way with my makeup, and I have been trying harder lately! Over the past month or so, I've accumulated quite a few things that I'm already in love with. I've been using these regularly, and I'm already excited to buy some more new things!

I love lipstick. So much. Red is absolutely my favorite color to wear, especially with some of my more vintage outfits. The nude color is one that I have never had before, but I can't wait to try it!

This blush has quite a weird texture to it. But, I'm still really happy with it. It's a really nice shade of pink, and it sparkles! 

When we went to convention in New Orleans, I forgot my entire makeup bag at my apartment, so my sisters let me use some of their makeup. My sister Mary had concealer similar to this one, with a brush, and I loved it! It makes it so easy to apply, so of course I had to buy it on my last Ulta trip!

For my birthday a few months ago, my big Candice bought me some makeup! She got me this eyeshadow brush from Ulta, and it is basically the first nice brush that I've ever had. They have a lot of other ones like this, and I want to own them ALL.

Finally, my favorite thing to use is my Urban Decay Naked Basics palette! My big also got me this for my birthday this year. My sister has two of the Naked palettes, and I really didn't understand the hype until I got one myself. They're fantastic! I have a new goal to own all three of the full Naked palettes. This might take me a little while, though, considering how expensive they are!

I can't wait to buy even more! I think I have a problem.

Until next time!
