And then there was Giada. . .

Well, if you read my other blog, Lily's dreamland, you'll know that Rachael Ray is my favorite celebrity chef. But right after Rachael is Giada De Laurentiis. She's an Italian chef who's always making super delicious food. I really like watching her show, also. I might even consider buying a cookbook from her.

Gotta sleep, cause it's late,

A quick word. . .

Hi there people. Just had to say hi so you knew I still post. Here's a picture my brother Ian sent me. It's of a fake beach they made in Japan. It's HUGE. When he told me about it, I didn't believe him. Then he sent me the pic, and there you go. A picture's worth a thousand words, as they say.

PS see those tiny dots next to the building? Those are cars! Look at the proportion of cars to the size of the building! Radical.

What a coinkidink!

Well, it turns out that after I posted that picture of Fred and Ginger, Dad came home from work and he had stopped at the library to pick up the movie it was from. Well, we watched it tonight, and I've decided it's one of the ones I'm not to fond of. Fred's a psychiatrist named Tony, and Ginger is his patient named Amanda. A friend of his comes with the problem that he can't get
Amanda to marry him. Tony counsels Amanda to try to change her mind about the guy. Amanda thinks little of him at first, but then falls in love with him over the course of time. It's a pretty stupid plot, and Fred's character is quite annoying, but the songs are good. I hope you all have sweet dreams,

Hi there people

I have nothing to update about. This is my 25th post on this blog, but that's really nothing to report about. I took care of Kieran just about all the time today, except when he was asleep, of course. I need to take a shower soon and very soon.
Here's a picture of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. I know I've posted pictures of them before, but I wanted to post this picture of them because I liked it. It's a picture of them dancing 'I used to be color-blind' from one of their last movies together called 'Carefree', done in 1939.

Chocolate covered Strawburry's

This is the picture of the strawberry's I made today. I took it on Annie's camera, and I'm really glad she sent them to me. Thanks, Annie! I also made chocolate covered Banana's and blueberries, and they're in the picture too. We're not eating them until tonight, for dessert. I ate one, though, and it was delicious! Lucie Oh, and by the way. . .
Happy Valentine's day!!!!!!!!

Hey people, Dance class report

If you have read my other blog, then you'd know that I was gonna update on this one after dance class, so here you go.
Well, it was fun, as usual. We're starting a new routine called 'King of New York' which you may have heard of, because it's from the musical Newsies (I think that's how you spell it).
We started it at my friend Hannah's request, and now she's one of the leading people in it. Her and my friend Micheal, who's the only boy in the class, with six girls. (We tease him mercilessly.)
Well, besides that, we were practicing our other routine, 'I got rhythm' by Gershwin, because we're doing a recital on the 4th of March. We pretty much got it down cold, but I can tell everyone's a little nervous. There was a thing in it though, where one person was suppose to yell, 'Turn', so everyone would turn in unison, and I was originally assigned the job, but first I did it to soft, then to loud, so I gave it to my friend Ayelet. I'm not very nervous about dancing the routine for the nursing home, but I'm sort of nervous we won't do it in unison. We have a little trouble doing that.
I gotta run, since Annie's about reading to start watching 7th heaven, and I'm totally not ready,

Books!

Here's a pic of the books I'm currently reading. And I did not get this picture of the internet! I took it myself. . . with Annie's camera, of course.
The orange-ish one is 'A little house traveler' which is diary writings and letters from Laura Ingalls Wilder. The other one (white) is 'Little house in the Ozarks' which is newspaper clippings and interviews by and from Laura Ingalls Wilder. I'm really enjoying both of them. I'm hoping to read them before they're dew from the library. They are quite long books.
Write to you later,
Lucie

Nothing much happening today

Hi people! Nothing much is going on today. We went to Church, and now I need to eat lunch. I'm probably gonna have a ham sandwich. Yummy!
Here's a picture of a ham sandwich I found on google images. Mine will probably not look like that, but oh well, it'll still taste good!
Hope you have a very nice day, 'cause I plan to!

Mmm, yummy Ham!!!

Chocolate truffles

Yes, I know, you're saying Another Chocolate Post?! Well, it is covered in chocolate week on Food network, so why not on my blog, too?
Right now I'm watching 'Ham on the street' which is a show on Food Network with this crazy guy named George Duran, who loves to mix food that shouldn't be mixed. Like for instance, goat cheese balls covered in chocolate. Or chocolate truffles.
Hope I grossed you out, ;)
Lucie
PS This isn't an actual picture of the goat cheese truffles, but I thought they looked good!

Hey there peoples

Food network this week is having 'covered in chocolate week'! I'm so excited to watch some of the stuff they'll be making. Here's the thing I want to make for Valentine's day:

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well

Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)

Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.

Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.
(From How to boil water )

PS there's a picture of what they look like in the end!

Mmm, yummy!

Doesn't this Chocolate cake look DELICIOUS? No, I didn't make it, but I found it on google images. Mmm, I love Chocolate. . .
So, even though my new blog name is Decadent Dancing, doesn't mean I won't be talking about books anymore. It just means I'll be talking about books, food, and dancing, my three favorite things!
