Adventures in a Chinese- American Kitchen
Author: annathetwinkie
Time for the third installment of my Pittsburgh Adventures! As promised, I went to the National Aviary and on a scale of 1-10, it's at least a 12. This adventure is extra special since it's my first time on Pittsburg Public Transport. I've ranted about my dislike of busses, but guess what, I actually ENJOYED … Continue reading Pittsburgh Adventure v.3: The National Aviary
I hope everyone's week is going well! Things are starting to get busy around here, but somehow I'm still relishing in the free time. Today, I finished a networking event and realized I had NOTHING to do and a can of chickpeas in the fridge. Normally, cooking is for the weekends, but the opportunity was … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Hummus
Hi!! I'm back with this week's adventure. I'll admit, there's not much of an adventure this week. I was going to check out the National Aviary, but my friend got sick 😦 Don't worry, I'll get there next week! While I didn't go on an actual adventure, I did go on a food adventure. Let's … Continue reading Eat Unique! Testing the Impossible Burger
Hi!!! I hope everyone's had a great week and snacked on delicious protein bars! I finished my first week of classes. I knew college would be different from HS, but WOW! I was not prepared. To start, I have less than 1/2 the actual class time each day. What do I do with the remaining … Continue reading Pittsburgh Adventures II: Phipps Conservatory
Hi!!! I'm back with my first recipe! I technically didn't plan on really cooking until next semester, but I had a spark of inspiration I just couldn't pass up. Here's the scoop: I LOVE protein bars. Unfortunately, most are full of artificial ingredients and expensive. There are plenty of recipes online, but even those are … Continue reading Amazing Protein Bars
Hi!!! I'm back as promised! This will be the first installment of a series I'm starting called Pittsburg Adventures. Pittsburg adventures? Let me explain! When I first started the college application process, I was pretty dead set on Columbia. My naive self thought I would get in and came up with a plan to explore … Continue reading First Pittsburg Adventure!
Hi! I'm back! I know everyone's probably expecting a delicious update, but there's something more serious I'd like to address: Privilege and Poverty I've always understood that I was privileged to say the least. We are by no means crazy rich, but I've never had to go without ANYTHING. If I wanted something, chances are, … Continue reading First Week Reflections: A Challenge
As promised, I'm back with the review I promised. Pittsburgh is a food city to say the least with incredible options from around the world. Of course, there's also the mainstays like Pirmanti's (actually only about 2 miles from campus!). However, since it is a celebratory dinner, we opted for something more upscale. A quick … Continue reading Floor 2: A Taste of Pittsburgh
I'm BACK!!!!! This summer's been one of the best. Admittedly, I didn't do much, so there isn't much of an update there. But, I got to really chill and squeeze in as much family/Shanghai time as possible before heading off to college. Speaking of college..... I MOVED IN!!!! Yep! I'm officially a Tartan! Everything went … Continue reading College Life starts…… NOW!
Hi!!! I guess vacations aren't exactly my thing because I'm back!!!! But today seriously deserves a post. My little bro's FINALLY back from summer camp! The tradition's always been to make him a special breakfast. Well, since I'll be off to college in only a few weeks ( I can't believe it either), I've decided … Continue reading Ridiculous Bread Pudding
