greenlight district

Google really gets me.

Every year when I go to the GREAT New York State Fair, I make sure to get a handwriting analysis test. I find these about 98% accurate (past example: "You are comfortable giving and receiving compliments - hullo!), funny ("You have the ability to handle large scale operations" - huhhuh!) and also flattering ("You enjoy creating happiness for others." - correct, like with my treats). Well, I've found a new machine to reinforce my path of self-definition/discovery when the State Fair is on hiatus: Google.

Directions: Go to Google. Type in: [your name] (space) is (space, this is an important space, it makes all the difference in accuracy) then see your results. A hot, cool, bossy, blonde, vegetarian Lisa? Change "cooking" to "baking" and we're golden.

Websites I wish were mine!

You know how your mom is always like, "I totally already invented that and should have patented it and made millions off of my genius idea!" while watching late night kitchen gadget infomercials? Probably the JoBro generation's* version of that is "I totally already came up with the idea for that website and should have bought the domain and become a web star"? (Can also sub in, "I totes already came up with that iPhone app in my head!") 

Well, I had that thought tonight when going through my emails. Being the rockstar baker that I am (also, see: humble) I'm helping a friend with a gay bake sale. He has decided to make Twinkies (DUH) and sent me a link to a devil's food cake/peanut butter Twinkie recipe featured on this site that I am now in food lust with: the chocolate peanut butter gallery! Tagline: "a site dedicated to the world's two best ingredients." Yesyesyesyeyseyes! Not to make greenlightdistrict.typepad.com jealous, but wow. Talk about my wildest web dreams. I will most likely be making everything on that site, veganizing/healthyfying much of it. My best chocolate peanut butter recipe would have to be a peanut butter chocolate cheesecake (VEGAN) that I still stand by today as being the most delicious cheesecake in the history of the world.

What are your favorite peanut butter chocolate recipes??

*Yes, I am including myself in the "JoBro generation" since I am desperately clutching onto my early 20's. And the Brothers Jonas have become a part of my daily life, so I'm allowed to use their name/image to prove my "cool" factor with the "kids these days" when I so choose.

Greenlight now in Twitter flavor!

Since my time (for now until I get my sched under control) is entirely devoted to following the Zac Efrons, Taylor Lautners, and Selena Gomezezezezes of the 'tween world, I want to keep delivering the goodness of greenlight, but now in bite size morsels! I know people pretend to not like Twitter, but I finally got into the phenom while reading up on the fascinating conversations about love and purity rings from the likes of Miley Cyrus, her 30-year-old bf, and Demi Lovato. Really, people, this stuff is good. So bad it's good, but still good. AND I realized it was the perfect medium to blog on when I don't really have time to blog.

So follow me on Twitter to get your daily dose of greenlight!

Best Twitter feeds to follow besides mine? 

Heidi Montag - she thanks Jesus in ALMOST EVERY TWEET. If only He had Twitter... 

Pocket Edward - follow his adventures!! This shit cracks me up all day!

Diablo Cody - the only person on my feed that updates as much as Perez (and is funnier, although his Twitter fights with Speidi are worth the follow)

Shaquille O'Neil - no, really. All he does ALL DAY is Twitter! Whoever mocks this saying "who needs to update the world with the stupid mundane crap they do" has never read Shaq's stupid mundane crap - which is actually awesome and wonderfully profound.
