Vegan lemon cream pie

Do you wake up every morning and fry up a package of bacon and chicken periods? Do you salivate over commercials depicting juicy strips of meat being slapped on grills in slow motion and curvaceous models chowing down cheeseburgers?

What to do when one has two pints of fresh cherries on hand and they’re dangerously close to their expiration dates? Put them in crisp, obviously!

Vegan strawberry chocolate tart

If I haven’t been posting as much lately, it is not because I am losing inspiration or my desire to ingest poorly-advised quantities of sugar, but because the end of the school year is a bitch for wee high schoolers like me. There’s studying for finals, on top of the normal homework load we get each night, on top of preparations for commencement and ceremonies and parties and end-of-year projects that I may or may not be saving for the night before they are due, and so on and so forth.

If anything, that person deserves a medal.

Oreo madness part II - vegan chocolate chip cookie dough Oreos

Before I say anything else, let me just mention straight away that this blog is now associated with a new Twitter account entitled @_June_Burns_. Let me repeat—I now tweet @_June_Burns_. So please, if you are interested in my 140-character bursts of verbal diarrhea, do go and follow that account.

Not that it matters. So, tell me, do you have any resolutions for this New Year? I do. I would like to cut back on my internet usage a bit (read: make pigs fly, grow a unicorn horn, etc.), seeing as my present state of OMG READ ALL THE THINGS CLICK ALL THE LINKS often gets in the way of more productive activities, like writing.
