The Cooking Adventures of Amy Ellis




My whole life people have joked that I would never become domesticated. Now that I'm in my 20's, I've realized that joke may actually be a reality. Last week, I put the wrong soap in the dish washer before leaving the house. My brother came home to find suds spewing out of the edges of the washer. Go me. If I had been born 80 years ago I'd be a reject. BUT the one thing I can actually do is make dessert. Especially fudge. This weekend I went home to celebrate my mom's birthday, so I thought I'd give cupcakes a try. They actually didn't turn out too bad, but it was interesting getting to the end product. And of course I photographed it!


Eco-friendly baking cups!








Gooey mountain of chocolaty goodness. Did I mention that I put too much water in? I had to make at least one mistake.




Thinking I had it all figured out, I started to stir the contents with a wooden spoon. After about 5 minutes of no progress, I realized I should probably read the directions.

And AH HA! A mixer! Whoo me!


Pour in super cool baking cups.



 Bake for 20 minutes at 350. And get bored and take pictures while waiting.




Stand in awe of chocolaty mounds as they cool.
And let mom make the icing from scratch since it's always better than the store brand.




Put icing on cupcakes and....




Bam. A nice bunch of delicious cupcakes.
But it needs a candle for a birthday. I found these in the cabinet that I bought months ago for a 21st birthday. They're quite cute.




And then eat all of them.







Happy Birthday Madre!

I'm a yella dog and i don't like frogs.

Here are a few of the DogTale photos!!! I need a better SD card in order to take videos sadly. The little footage I got at the would cut off after 30 seconds or so. But perhaps I'll put up a super cool clip soon?

I wanna love ya and treat ya right....

Happy birthday Bob Marley! You are missed by many. Probably not by this guy,  since he's youtube famous because of your death. I never get tired of his laugh:




It's been an absolutely beautiful weekend. I spent a lot of time taking pictures of people enjoying it. Like this!


And I shot some photos for Dogtale's first show. I didn't take many because I was also videotaping some songs. But as soon as i get the time, I'll put some up. It seems as thought this coming week is going to be as crazy as the last but at least we had warm weather to enjoy in between it. I'm also feeling a virus creeping up on me so I'm off to drink more echinacea. I'm happy though, because next weekend I'll be here:




Hanging out with these crazy people:

Lots of lovely happenings

It's almost the weekend! Which I'm in need of!


It's not completely the weekend for me actually. I'm about to go to campus for a few hours to get some stuff done. BUT after that, home, shower, dinner, and the Dogtale show! Which I will be taking pictures and perhaps video of at the Root Bar. It's their first show, so they've got only the best songs picked out. You should come if you're in the Asheville vicinity!  


I'm craving cupcakes. Like crazy. I want to make a three of these.




And last but not least.....
During this busy week i had the chance to develop a few photos from my film class. Here are a few!







Have a lovely weekend!
