Gluten Free Peach Cobbler and a little starter baby pineapple plant

As most that know me, know that lately I have been trying to cut out gluten from my diet. My body doesn't seem to agree with it. So I have had this baking mix by Maple Grove Farms that is a gluten free all purpose baking mix. I really have been meaning to use it to make some yummy gluten free pancakes, but alas! I had a bunch of peaches that I needed to use up. So I decided to try out a recipe that I found from Gracefully Gluten Free which you can find her here: http://www.gracefullyglutenfree.blogspot.com/ the recipe I used is located here on her blog http://gracefullyglutenfree.blogspot.com/2011/08/gluten-free-fresh-southern-peach.html. All I must say is oh my gosh! It turned out so yummy, and the recipe is so easy. I had to take a picture to share :)

Today I also decided do a little project, ok well I have several little projects. But this one I decided to use the top of a pineapple to regrow a pineapple plant! My mom Dianne, told me about this on the phone. Of course I started to google, and found several good ideas, about how to do it, but I jumped over to my favorite blog at 17 Apart and found they had done one here http://www.17apart.com/search/label/Our%20Pineapple%20Plant So here is the picture of it and we shall keep track of this little guy and his roots over the next few weeks :)

meh meh meh meh It’s my world and I will cry too!

Yeah, I said it.  And guess what, yeah I am gonna bitch.  I don’t care. I am tired of being the uppity queen.  My new mission is to be all about me.  You don’t like it? Go play somewhere else.  Now  I understand that this attitude will freak out people, and then I have to hear about it “like omg, I am so worried about you…are you ok? blah blah blah”. Don’t. Stop right there. Don’t even ask. I hate when people ask me if I am ok.  Or act whiney to wanna help me.  Don’t do it. I hate it. And you just add to my building up of the explosion.  The fireworks look pretty….but I only invited myself.  These are my emotions and my world, let me ride them and it.  Not everyone out there is needy and needs a shoulder. I like to have a rant fest and pissy party. Then I am good.

Anyhow with that all out now. I am off to take a nap.

The dreaded dungeon finder

Today I want to go back over the dungeon finder. Yes you know the one…..where you push the little “I” button and up it pops, you choose your role….and wait. And wait. And wait. Well at least I do a lot. Cause that how Rogue’s roll! (no pun intended).

Anyhow you finally get into your dungeon….and of course when you choose random…well you get tossed into whatever they toss you into. Now the first thing you are thinking is…please let’s not wipe, gawd I hope the healer is good. And please let the tank be more than L33T!!!!

Not always what happens, is it? Tonight I experienced just that, and after like 5 people left here and there, and we kicked people, finally a good group. When I arrived in this group, noone knew where they were going, who was doing what. We wipe, the tank cries someone pulled, in reality the healer was off dicking around. So the healer leaves. New person arrives… now new person has to tank, after they asked me, yes me, the rogue to tank. LOL The other tank is off dicking around….finally kicked him as he was standing off to the side gathering free xp. So as you see you don’t get like what you used to get back in the day. Yes you get into a group faster. But the thing about the dungeon finder is you get a group of people that are not from your server and you have no clue how good they are, or are they there to just gank one item and leave on you. Back in the day (vanilla), you had to find a group. And then the nice thing was most of the people on the server knew if someone was ganking or just sucked. At least if they sucked on your server you could help them out.

And that is my rant for the night. Because of what just happened.

Following Warcraft Less Traveled 1 and loremaster

I have gotten really interested in Lore of WoW.  And I swear that deep down inside I have a secret hero named Shade. She is from All Things Azeroth Podcast. I am sure there is lots of really good lore people out there. But honestly I just don’t care about them. She is MY lore hero, and HAVE to…NO! NEED to be like her. Well kinda. I don’t need to be totally like her. LOL Just the love of the lore. So this brings us to what I have been doing lately. First I am working on the Loremaster achievement, of course you would figure that out. This requires going back to places like low level areas of Westfall, Redridge etc….at first I thought this would be tedious and painful. But believe it or not it is fun. Not only can I pull a whole group of lvl 15’s and kill them at once for one quest, but some things have changed in WoW since Cataclysm. Yesterday I was blessed with the cinematic in DeadMines. And  the end of DM is different now, along with some other places in DM. The one thing that is still same: that silly murloc, Cookie still resides there.

This also brings up some changes in exploration. WoW has always done a great job of making the land looking pretty, or ugly in some areas. But definitely worth looking at while you go along. Since Cata, there is lots of changes. And I am one of those people who do look at the scenery in wow, along with some hidden places. This probably explains why I , galleri (gallereigh), have yet to hit 80….and well yes I have played since vanilla. I am probably the slowest lvl’er in the history of WoW. Not to worry my current main is now 68. I am sure I will 80 by next year (so my guild hopes!).

The hidden stuff brings up Warcraft Less Traveled Podcast.  I listen to his stuff faithfully and been to lots of the places he has mentioned. While this podcast is the subject…I was quite shocked that my guild, which is a lvl 11 with like 480 members, had noone in it that knew what Warcraft Less Traveled was. Grrrrr!!! Of course not all 400 something people were on the day I was talking about it. So maybe there is a few there.

So here are a few pics of my adventures of going to places that WLT sent me to:

First up is :

Warcraft Less Traveled #33 – Tekton and the Robotic Sheep Farm of Elwynn Forest

Next up:

Warcraft Less Traveled #34 – Darkshore Whirlpool and Demon Hunter

Today

So I am now on Day 2 of P90X. INTENSE is the only word I have for it. I am sore from yesterday when I did the arms and back. Today was abs. I am sure I will be feeling that soon. But I feel great. And I am determined.

I also did an Oracle Faerie reading for myself today. I had the following 4 cards: Past was Magic of Nature, Present is Peace of Mind, Future (next 3 months) is Family Harmony, and the next 6 months is Follow my dreams. These are so true after pulling them. And I will be working on these as it goes.

I decided for some reason I needed to check what house Taurus is moving into here soon. And how it would affect my relationship life…if there is one LOL

    At this time you come across in an appealing, charming, openly affectionate manner which is likely to win you new friends and admirers. You make an excellent first impression now. This is a very favorable time for doing something to enhance your appearance such as getting a hair cut or purchasing new clothing. Your personal magnetism is strong and you attract appreciation, affection, and attention at this time. Feelings of love, a desire for beauty, and the urge to be creative are strong. You beautify your surroundings and pay particular attention to your appearance. This is a good time to treat yourself or do something fun just for you.

 

At the same time. March seems to not be a really good month for Taurus. Sigh.

See ya tomorrow.
