Brunch for One


A while back, I was alone at home and hungry, so when I woke up, I was starting to feel rather hungry. Luckily, we had mushrooms and a roll of premade biscuits that just needed to be baked and one tomato left. 

I placed the doughy biscuits onto the baking sheet, and took an egg in a little bowl and whisked at it with a fork before taking the pastry brush and making sure that the biscuits all were covered by the egg mixture. This not only gives a beautiful golden brown coloring, but it also adds flavor.

As those were baking, I took about a tablespoon of Butter and two tablespoons of vegetable oil, heating up the skillet as I sliced the few remaining mushrooms that were left inside of the fridge. Then into the warm skillet the mushrooms went, sauteeing the mushrooms until they softened, SALT and PEPPER ed them, flavoring the mushrooms.

When they were done, I placed the mushrooms onto my plate, and then went outside to the backyard and grabbed a few oranges and made myself some orange juice. 

Then, last but not least, I heated the skillet up once more and cracked an egg into it, SALT and PEPPER ing it, frying it, waiting until the sides are golden brown before shutting off the stovetop. Then using my spatula I slipped the egg off and onto the pan. 

After looking at my plate, I felt like there was something missing, so I looked around the kitchen and found a lone tomato that needed eating. So, I sliced it up and placed it on the plate, making sure to put plenty of salt on them (as salt brings out the natural flavors, and takes away most of the moisture).

And that, was my "Brunch for One"

Enjoy :)

List of Disney Princesses

This is a list of Disney Princesses in order of Favorites:

1. Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
2. Belle (Beauty and the Beast)
3. Rapunzel (Tangled)
4. Cinderella (Cinderella)
5. Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)
6. Jasmine (Aladdin)
7. Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)
8. Mulan (Mulan)
9. Pocahontas (Pocahontas)


And finally...

My LEAST favorite Disney Princess (And sadly the one who started it all)

Snow White.

I mean, seriously, she has one of the most annoying singing voices ever. It's the sort that grates on one's ears. It makes me literally twitch when ever I hear the "I'm wishing" ("I'm wishing") song near the beginning when she's at the wishing well.

Though a few of my friends swear up and down that I'm wrong, they have been listening to the Spanish version (which I have yet to see/watch) and apparently her voice is pretty in that version.

And while I'll admit that there are parts and such to this story that are endearing, lovable, and (yes, even) inspirational...I stand firmly in belief that Snow White's singing voice is gravel pebbles in comparison to the other smooth streams of voice talents (such as Jodi Benson, Paige O'Hara, and others...).

But in the end, Snow White has one of those voices that people will either love or hate (like Franny Fine from The Nanny ...And I love that show :D btw))

Until Later.

Hi and Welcome

Well...I've finally decided to create a blog. Yes, a Web Log, or 'Blog'.

As I prefer to not have any particular genre/subject/topic/etc. locked in to limit myself, this Blog will be used in recipe posting, books I've read (and reviews of said books), crafts, ideas, writings, etc.

So basically, anything goes here. :3

(For me anyways).

Ah. I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Ariel. A pleasure really. (This is where I shake digital hands with you dear Reader).

I was named after the Little Mermaid and have always thought of myself as a mixture of Ariel the Little Mermaid and Belle from Beauty and the Beast (as I both sing and am musically inclined and I love books :) ))

So hopefully, this Blog will blossom and readers and followers will grow... Not that they need to really.

Good Day.
