HI! Yes, I am back. It is finally winter break and I have the time to post something. It has been about two months that I have been away from this blog. I didn't really do anything really exciting from my little hiatus. Just the typical, school in the way type of thing. Anyway, I did explore New York City more. Even though I am a born and raised New Yorker, I still needed to explore a lot. I had a project to do and I went to Williamsburg in Brooklyn for the first time and went to Momofuku Milk Bar one day in November. I can tell you that I enjoy their famous cereal milk soft served ice cream. I had it for breakfast that day too. Later that day, I went to Manhattan to celebrate my best friend's birthday and just walked around Lexington Avenue and Central Park. By the evening, I got the try Insomnia Cookies for the very first time and I definitely fell in love. They bake the perfect cookies. Perfect as in, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside... I am drooling and craving for some of these cookies right now. Another day in November, I did more of my project in East Village in Manhattan. I got to try artichoke and crab pizza from the famous, Artichoke Basille's Pizza. OH MY... it is delicious. Then, during Thanksgiving break, I went to Virginia. I got to try Nando's because it recently opened in a mall nearby. It is definitely one of my favorite restaurants now. It's just amazing. Then I went back to school and did the usual and then I took my finals. I just recently went to take some photos of the famous Christmas-y things in New York City. Oh! I also found my love of spicing up my hot chocolate with whipped cream and pumpkin spice or just chocolate syrup. YUM. I also got creative with nail polish. I've found Hubert's Lemonade at a grocery store nearby as well. That's what I have been up too lately. Not so exciting, but I got to try new things, my favorite things... FOOD.

P-p-p-pumpkins.
Okay, I have been away from this blog for a while and my excuse is... school. In the beginning of the month, my friends and I planned to go pumpkin picking together because we thought it would be a nice hang out. We don't really hang out besides on campus before we have to go to class. It was nice to just have fun and take pictures at a farm near by. I haven't carved pumpkins since I was a little girl, probably about 6 or 7 years old. Yeah, that's a long time ago. With the pumpkin that I picked, I didn't carve it, only because I currently live in an apartment and there's no where to display it. Instead, I decided to make pumpkin puree and bake cookies. Pumpkin cookies are perfect for the fall season and I thought why not? I love baking and cooking and I barely do any of those activities. My cousin was having a birthday party the weekend after, so I waited a week to bake them. I followed a recipe that I've found on Pinterest and all I can say is that the cookies came out delicious! With a nice pumpkin spiced cream cheese frosting, it was amazing. From all of this, I recommend you on finding a perfect sized pumpkin and bake some lovely goodies.
