Chocolate - 1, Me - 0

Here’s why I should stop wondering why I never lose weight:

  1. I know how to make ganache (for you sad, uninformed individuals out there – this is liquid chocolate infused with fat in the form of heavy whipping cream and butter).
  2. I have everything one needs to make ganache in my fridge.
  3. When I run out of any ganachey ingredients I panic, and make sure to restock immediately. Even if I’m not making ganache that day.
  4. Ganache is really interesting because you’d think it would separate (like salad dressing) because of all the fat and sugar in the liquid chocolate, but it doesn’t.
  5. But I digress.
  6. Also, I can make buttercream frosting from scratch.
  7. I’m doomed.

Nailed It

Men – I feel bad for you. Because you will never experience the true joy and euphoria of watching perfectly painted nails glide across the keyboard with speed and agility. It’s enough to make you feel powerful and borderline famous. So guys of the world, when you’re feeling glum, glam up – with shiny amazing happy nail art. You can thank me later.
