Here are four things that you must do, that I have done lately . . . not related to baking . . . or cardio. What’s this blog about again?
1. Go and see the musical Wicked. It is incredibly fabulous, surprisingly deep and an overwhelmingly great production. It’s Wicked. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
2. Watch The Social Network. Tonight, I had the pleasure of finally watching a movie!! Yes, I know that I should have already watched it (like the other 99% of the world’s population) but I haven’t had time . . . or two consecutive hours in a row where I am not covered in flour, icing sugar, butter or cocoa. Having learned so much computer-speak in the last couple of years (that’s what happens when you’re dating a genius) I had a new vested interest in hearing about “codes” and “servers” and “hosts”. It’s really a good movie. I have to research how accurate it actually is, but if it is, man is Zuckerberg a true business man. Whether you like Facebook or not, it’s an interesting story in friendship, business, and entrepreneurialism. If I haven’t coerced you yet, Justin Timberlake is in it. Does hearing the word “Facebook” make you want to check your page? Perhaps I have a problem.
3. Read The Hunger Games. Young adult, science fiction, fantasy story . . . I’ve turned myself off with that description . . . but it is seriously worth it! I listened to it as an audio book this weekend on my twelve hour drive to and from Sylvan Lake for my cousin’s graduation. It made the drive(s) fly by . . . and helped me blank out the ugliness of the prairies, as I drove by fence post after fence post.
4. Go to The Donut Mill in Red Deer, Alberta!
How can you go wrong with Oreo, and Rolo flavoured donuts! I had to try them. For the sake of the blog. I HAD to. And boy, were they good. The Donut Mill donuts are filled with a whipping cream filling instead of a heavier creme middle. It was different (from ole Tim Horton’s) and absolutely worth every calorie. The Rolo was the best hand’s down. It had caramel flavoured whipping cream in the middle, and a chocolate caramel ganache topping. Thank god it’s six hours away.
Too funny. I worked next door at Glenn’s (Glenn is Dad to Donut mill owners – all in the family types) for years during high school/university years. Thank goodness I never got into the habit of stopping in 🙂
that IS funny! and you are lucky you never went there….i bought 6…and ate 6. yuck!
I’m going to New York this summer and am planning to see a musical… perhaps Wicked will be it! I’m definitely intrigued by it 🙂
Also… those donuts look ridiculous. I really really want to try all of them. Each and every one.
I saw Wicked a few years ago- but hearing the big song on Glee recently made me want to see it again! AH loved the Hunger Games!!
