Have you ever had a red pear before? I hadn't until my sister gave me hers and it was delicious. I'm not sure how I'll go back to green/yellow. Unlike other pears, this kind is less grainy and smoother with a sweet taste. Yum.

Last night I had one of my closest friend's over to celebrate her birthday. I told her that I would bake whatever she wanted for her birthday dessert and she chose a chocolate mousse cake. Something I've never made. Turns out, chocolate mousse cake can be pretty darn overwhelming, however, I did it! It feels like such an accomplishment because while I enjoy being experimental with cooking, baking is more my sister's hat and something altogether different. I will be posting the pictures and the recipe in the next few days as it turned out really good (at least everyone said it was really good...).
Today is her official birthday and we are celebrating today by going for a morning break at the cafeteria at work. Happy Birthday J!

While leaving the gym a couple weeks ago, a trainer had set up a table by the front doors and was handing out dixie cups filled with a green 'energy' smoothie she made. I, of course, grabbed one because (a) I just finished a workout and was famished, and (b) I'm always up for trying something new.
Turns out although it looked nasty, it tasted delicious.
She had kindly printed out the recipe and had a stack of 'em for people to take home (with, of course, her personal training coordinates). A few days later I made my own but it didn't turn out green like hers, and I had to improvise a bit because who really keeps almond milk and two kinds of yoghurt in their fridge at the same time? Not this girl.
Healthy Smoothie:
* Frozen banana
* 1 Cup of Milk
* 1/2 Cup of Yoghurt
* 1 Cup of Frozen Berries (I used strawberries)
* Handful of Spinach*
Blend
Drink
Enjoy.
* I know what you're thinking, 'Spinach?! In a smoothie? Really Amanda? Yuck!'
but seriously, you don't even taste it. And it's good for you. So do it. Do it good.

These photos were taken at 5:10pm. Welcome to November. It gets dark so early now, it's almost depressing. The only thing that is saving me is the still-visible grass. If you could advise the weather man to prepare the snow for Christmas Eve, that'd be great. Just great.
When I put on this skirt with the chocolate brown fishnets, it just felt too scandalous for work. The skirt is somewhat on the short side for me but I didn't want to give up the look of texture on my legs. In a quick decision (as I was running late) I decided to try layering my tights and it worked. Chocolate brown opaque tights underneath the chocolate brown fishnets I had initially chosen.
