I made pancakes today! ^_^

I got a little restless earlier while I was studying Corpo. I just couldn't concentrate. When I would get restless I would usually play a game on my iPad or maybe watch an episode of one of my comedy series, but this time I wanted to do something a little bit more productive. It was around 3:00 pm and I haven't eaten lunch so I decided to cook something.

For some reason, I wanted pancakes and coffee. I thought this would be a perfect match to my study session. I remember we bought a big box of Bisquick pancake mix so I got that out of the cupboard.

Bisquick, milk, an egg, and butter to line the pan

The recipe on the box was for a big serving so I made half of what was instructed. 1 cup of mix, 1/2 cup of milk, and an egg. I used butter instead of oil to line the pan.

One thing I learned while cooking is that butter burns pretty fast. I put the flame on its lowest setting and yet the butter still turned brown fast! I just threw the burnt butter in the sink..


Thankfully, the pan was lined with butter enough so that the pancakes didn't stick. It took me a while to make round-ish pancakes..

 My reject pile :(

I was able to make a pretty pancake on my third try. The key is to not put too muck batter so you can flip it easily. Also, in flipping pancakes, confidence is key! :))


My pretty pile :D

I was so relieved that I didn't burn any on the pancakes. I decided to put Nutella and bananas on them.



I think I did a good job plating this thing, don't you? :D

Mmmmm pancakes with coffee! The perfect study food on a rainy day!


Now back to studying. :)

I finished Tax today!!! :D

Sorry. I'm just so happy I finally finished my first reading on Tax! Wah! SO HAPPY.

To celebrate this moment, I took some time to do my nails:


Happy Missy!

I'm so proud of myself. I can do my own nails now. Also, I can now do my own make up, and even dye my hair! Hooray for DIY stuff! The things I learn during bar review. Haha. 

Okay, back to studying. I have mock bar on Saturday! Also, I now have a JOB waiting for me! :D :D :D

CRUNCH TIME!!!
