Lil' Addiction

I hope that all of you are enjoying the random posts as of late. I've decided that in addition to blogging about crafting, cooking and dancing, that I want to try and capture more of the "little moments" here. I've been really inspired by my sister's blog snippets these days. So yes, that is how I am feeling these days. So here is a random factoid about me.

Factoid.

I have a little major addiction to eating sweetened condensed milk straight from the can. Maybe this isn't shocking coming from the girl who likes to do shots of maple syrup.

I have an addiction...

Thank goodness this is not an ingredient that is regularly stocked in my pantry. I bought a can to make filling for Christmas cookies, that never ended up being baked due to my insane bout of sickness. Nope, this jar's destiny is a trip to my tummy, one spoonful at a time.

When I was younger, my mom usually had a can in the fridge for recipes. She would poke two holes in the top to pour the syrupy goodness out. Little did she know that I would pour it out spoonful by spoonful when she wasn't home. Sorry, mom.

In other news, Style School starts in a few days and I have a) not done my homework and b) not purchased any supplies (lack of funds) Boy, am I a stellar student already! HA! Perhaps I shall dig into my homework tonight...
