Pinterest Update

So yes, I will be shamelessly (or not so) using my blog to conquer and divide my Pinterest adventures.

My most recent Pinterest adventure involved making BAKED mozzarella sticks.  How fantastic, I thought, to have a healthier version of something I could eat on a daily basis.  The food of champions!

It seemed so simple. Cut up the mozzarella sticks, freeze them, roll them in flour/egg/bread crumbs and bake. I even noticed several comments about being careful because those  divine mozz sticks would melt like butter on a beach if you didn’t freeze them long enough. I figured I was apt enough to not have butter on a beach escapades.

What ended up actually occurring… was more like butter in a tanning bed while on a beach. It was a  level of mozzarella meltdown worse than that of a toddler in the terrible two’s. After a mere 8 minutes, my highly anticipated mozzarella sticks were flat, crispy, and unrecognizable. It was luck I happened to check in on them when I did, or I have a feeling I’d be telling a story about how I set off the smoke alarms.  (And yes, I’m married to to a chef.)

Luckily, I quickly discovered the error of my ways.  When freezing, longer is better. Many other Pinteresters ended up recommending a freeze time of 1 hr or more, not a mere 30 minutes.

Stay tuned for “Mozz Sticks: The Revival!” (sarcasm…or not.)

The highly anticipated FIRST blog post!

To answer the key questions I feel you may be wondering….

WHO are you?

I am a graduate student, a future school psychologist,  a friend, a wife, a daughter, a sister…I am many things.

WHY are you blogging?

I am blogging because I love to write and interact with other people about a variety of things and this appears to be a good way to do so.  🙂

WHAT is your blog about?

My blog will cover everything from my thoughts on school psychology and the adventures the field brings to the book I most recently read…or didn’t read.

DO you muse in crayon?

I don’t, but wouldn’t doing so make life a little more interesting? No, my blog title is based off  my future occupation and love of “playing school” .
