Welcoming 2013 to a NEW & POSITIVE outlook!

Hey There! It’s me Amandine here again to share with you the very first post of 2013!!!!!

Welcoming 2013 was not easy for me.AT ALL! I am not used to it.And so are you guys i suppose?There were so many wonderful events that happened  last year (2012) They said that the year of  the “Water snake” would make the year very lucky! They also said the lucky color for this year is “Turquoise”.I LOOOOVVEEEE turquoise!

Beginning this year,praying and asking ourselves “What would continue making this year happy and a really NEW year?”

Then, try things you have never tried to do before! Two, try being much friendlier and joyful! Don’t refrain from being ignorant to someone you never new/met before! Three,Just be happy and stop arguing!

Have a Prosperous and a New Year!!!!

The Mini Ipad

Image

Everyone knows the apple products.Apple released  their latest gadget,the IPAD MINI in some conutries.

It comes in 2 colors:

  • Black
  • white

The Ipad mini is smaller than the ipad but bigger than an itouch.

Beneficials of the new Ipad mini:

  • smaller therefore it’s easy to bring it along everywhere
  • not as heavy as the normal ipad
  •  the gap between functionality and portability is narrower here. The iPad may be capable of more but it is also less convenient to carry around. The Mini measures 7 inches and, while bigger than a phone, it can be transported in a similar manner. Added to that, it is simply easier to handle when in use as well.
  • The iPad is capable of performing many tasks, in fact the possibilities are only as limited as the imaginations of app developers. There are thousands of different apps out there and you can do more or less anything on an iPad.

Disadvantages:

  • smaller screen will make your eyes ting-a-ling (if you get what i mean)

I think that’s the only disadvantage…

I mean,if you want to grab one,I’m not going to judge you.But I highly encourage everyone to lessen the use of gadgets because it’s bad for the environment because of the high radiation.And,it’s bad for your eyes.

This has been the latest gadget yet…

Rainbow Chocolate Chip Cookies

Haven’t heard about it?! Well,me either but I have made experiments!!!! Mwuahahahaha :) )

Okay! So here is how you do it!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark, but we prefer dark!)
  • 1 stick butter (salted), softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • food coloring

Procedures:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Spray the cookie sheet with nonstick spray or you can use a liner. Silicone liners (like silpats) and parchment paper both work very well.

2. Mix together the two sugars. Be sure to break apart any hard chunks of brown sugar and get the two sugars fully mixed. We prefer dark brown sugar because we think it has a deeper, more caramel flavor, but light brown sugar will make your cookies taste a bit sweeter.

3. Mix the softened butter into the sugar in globs. This helps really incorporate the butter and the sugar.

4. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Crack the eggs directly into the bowl with the butter-sugar mix, and then use your spoon to lightly beat the eggs before stirring them into the butter and sugar.

5. Measure and mix in the vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Mix the batter as much as possible right now. Break apart any remaining clumps and make sure the batter is a consistent color throughout.

If you prefer, you can mix the salt and baking soda with the flour in a separate bowl instead of adding them now. This ensures that these dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter, but we’ve never had any trouble adding them in at this point. Honestly, we just prefer to save ourselves an extra bowl to wash!

6. Add the flour all at once. At this point, you want to mix the batter as little as possible to avoid forming too much gluten. Stop mixing as soon as there is no more visible flour on the dough or in the bottom of the bowl.

7. Add the chocolate chips and a drop of your favorite color of food coloring all at once and use a folding motion to incorporate them into the batter.

8. Scoop the batter onto your baking sheet, spacing the balls of dough roughly 2 inches apart. We use a tablespoon and measure out slightly rounded balls – they’re about the size of pingpong balls. You can certainly go larger or smaller as you prefer!

9. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes. Take them out when they look puffy, are set around the edges, and dry to the touch. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will collapse back on themselves.

10. Transfer the cookies to a rack to finish cooling completely. Bake the rest of the cookies in batches.

Voila! When your cookies are done,it should look like this!
