So I forgot to post that I ate another Popin Cookin, but can you blame me really? I have been busy, I guess. Busy can mean a lot of things to different people, for me it's the fact that I get sidetracked really easily (like goldfish level, I am a pro). Not only that but I also hosted a college friend last night and most of my evening and my morning for that matter [no video today. :( ]
So that aside, I did try another Popin Cookin, and this time we went full on Japanese. That's right, I am talking the one, the only. Sushi!! Now I love sushi, it would be evident if you knew me, but since we don't know each other maybe it is time we took our relationship to the next level and you hit that subscribe button to your right. Or you know you could just keep reading and ignore every impulse to make your life better. But that is your life, not mine.
.............no seriously hit the button.........I love you?........too much?.......moving on then.
Anyway. The box, unlike previous Popin Cookin kits, was fairly easy to assemble. It had like three items to make and they literally were just pour, stir, and assemble. I love when something is that easy, especially when videoing it. Trust me, it is a lot easier to edit and I don't look like an idiot when my hands are flying all over the camera frame because I have no idea how to read instructions. It's like they are in Japanese or something...psht!
The one thing I really liked about the kit though is the cool food chemistry element that is provided. So like with all sushi, there is the need for some salmon roe or some other type of fish eggs, but with candy, what could you possibly use. I know sprinkles would be easy, but Kracie thought of something better, something with a little science. So long, long story short, the orange mix goes into a dropper that is then dispensed into a solution that congealed the outside and leaves the inside nice a liquidy. They are the coolest things to eat and so much fun to make.
On a sidenote, I might have to do some food chemistry soon. I love science so much and when you can eat it, it is so much better!!
So if you are interested in seeing me make this sushi kit, the video is below. You can also see what i think of the final product as with every Popin Cookin vid, I give a taste test!!
Yes, I love fall, autumn as it is sometimes called. It is that time of year that all the DIY girls come out and show us how to preserve a cinnamon bun and make it into a wreath to hang on your door. Let’s not forget the fashion bloggers who show you how to bundle up like it -30 degrees outside.
*Sigh*
Brian: So what should you be doing for fall?
I honestly don’t know, but sure I will give you some tips and tricks.
Let’s start with a beverage laced with pumpkin spice. If you can’t find any, you might be blind but you can just pick up a can of pumpkin puree. It’s actually made with pumpkin and will taste more like pumpkin spice than the actually flavored items you get including that latte. It also doesn’t cost 7 bucks.
Why not buy some candles and fresheners that bring out those festive feelings. Nothing says fall over and die better than poisoning your guest and family with the nauseating scent of apples and cinnamon. Seriously don't get too crazy with this stuff. I like the subtle smells of fall just like anyone else but if I walk out of your house and smell like the baked apple pie, something is wrong.

Another Fall activity would be to start buying all your Christmas presents early. No I mean seriously go and do that. Look don’t wait, you are never going to find what you want last minute are you crazy. And while you are at it, let's make fun of everyone else who doesn’t do their shopping early. I am honestly not an earlier shopper but for those of you that are. Applause, because you deserve it. I would have less problem if I would actually spend time looking for the perfect gift. But I am a guy so...
A great idea to keep warm this fall by bundling up in overly expensive and ridiculously suffocating clothes. Hey, you might get choked to death when your scarf snags on something but at least you look fabulous. Seriously just put on a hoodie or something. It is not that cold unless there is snow falling on the ground. Enjoy the air and relax. I love sitting outside with a good book, just fyi.
Also don’t forget to bake every single day. Cookies, cakes, pies, you know the really fattening stuff. Nothing says fall like forgetting how much hard work you put into your beach body. And if you didn’t work on your beach body then that’s okay, nothing to feel guilty about. This is something I really agree with. I always try to look my best for summer and end up not even taking my shirt off. I am so ashamed to say so but when it comes to food during fall, I am going to eat. I will get fit in the spring
So, guys, those are all my tips for Fall.
No, seriously I love this season. If it could always remain fall, that would be amazing. The weather cools down, the leaves change color, Haloween is my birthday so there is always that!!! Big 23!
and the food and family gatherings make it all worth it.
It’s a great time and you should do what you want.
