Simple DIY Milk Frother

Oh my goodness. I just had the best milky sweet hot caffeinated beverage cup of coffee from home possibly ever, and that's with having owned this and this and this...so I've had some experience with trying to produce an equivalent to the addictive concoctions produced at the wonderful-comforting-$4/cup-of-coffee place that resides on almost every street corner.

Anyway, this is so simple that it's probably not even worth mentioning and I was probably the only person that couldn't come up with this myself..but I had to get the idea from here.

And paired with about a 1/4 cup of strongly mixed Nescafe (or I'll try Via next for an even more authentic taste but the Nescafe is 7 packets for $1.50.,,can't beat that!) and some honey this is officially my morning drink of choice and it only cost me about 30 cents!

Ok, that's all for now. I couldn't wait to share. Have a great weekend!

Pie Crust

My grandmother, make that grandmothers, would be so proud. I just made a pie crust using one of these beauties.

Making a pie has been my domestic focus of this entire week. I got the itch while reading a great food blog, smittenkitchen. Definitely check it out. The pictures make me want to quit my wonderful engineering job and cook and bake full time in a tiny quaint perfectly decorated and organized, a touch retro a touch whimsical, kitchen...but for now I'll just stick with trying to make a peach pie that my bf will eat. Hopefully when I'm done it will look like hers.

I'll let you know how it actually turns out...
