I’m sorry, I can’t help you there. Social networking still confuses me. All I know is this: If you bring yummy food, you’re bound to make many friends!
The other night, I trekked to a friend’s house to watch The Social Network. And I brought along… a Christmas recipe? 😕
Gingerbread Cookie Dough Balls
Didn’t I tell you I’d be eating these on the beach in July? You didn’t believe me?
Everyone loved the Gingerbread Balls.
And I loved the movie! (Where’s the facebook “like” button when ya need it?) I especially liked Jesse Eisenberg (who plays Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg) and his fast-paced talking. Plus, Eduardo? Really, really cute!
Supposedly, some of the story is fiction. But it was a good movie regardless: well-acted and defining of our generation. It’s hard to imagine that a few years ago, no one knew what facebook was!
Blog Updates:
1. The chocolate-covered blogroll will go up this week.
2. I spruced up the page, with photos! Check it out: My new Recipe Page!
Remember a time before the internet?
And do you remember–horror of horrors– dial up?
When you couldn’t be on the internet and the phone at the same time? When it took like 20 minutes just to get into your email account and hear, “You’ve got mail”? Now I get frustrated if it takes a minute to get into the internet!
Isn’t it funny how our expectations shift? I miss the days before all of this technology, but at the same time I don’t! I love being able to communicate with people who are as crazykins as me at all times of the day/night, it makes life that much more enjoyable:) BUT it is good (and necessary!) to get away from all that every once in awhile:)
Haha, oh yes, I can channel memories of the olden days before internet (and, dare I say, computers being a normal accessory in a home)! I remember my brother getting on the internet, tying up the line, and me being left at basketball practice as a child for hours, because I couldn’t get through to my parents! Uuuugh. Dial-up. I shudder at the recollection…! 😉
Hahaha oh dial up. It took so long and the sound was so annoying!
ohh… I still havent seen that movie.
the gingerbread looks so-o-o swirly and pretty! XXO
Oh yum those gingerbread balls look amazing! I love the Social Network film too, just bought it on dvd last week!
I remember a time when there was no internet, and you had to call into a bulletin board system to exchange messages with people. When I went off to college my dad told me there was no reason I’d need an entire *1 GB* hard drive. Then a dinosaur crushed my car. 😀
I don’t know how I’d cope without the internet! Weirdly though, not long ago and thanks to the brilliance of BT, my internet was down. It took me a while to realise that it only worked when the phone was picked up – and that’s broadband! Very strange… 🙂
Lol dialup is the devil…I swear.
Love your new recipe page, girl!! It made me very hungry 😀
The answer to this question is probably obvious, but in your cake batter pizzert, is the coconut oil melted or in its more solid state? I can’t wait to make it! 🙂
<3
Melted :).
My family didn’t have a computer during the dial-up era but I remember going to my aunts house to play on her computer and having to get off all the time when she was expecting a phone call. Oh yeah, and then waiting at least 10 minutes for the computer to reboot after the phone call. Nightmare!
I haven’t seen The Social Network yet, but I’ve heard many good things. I’ll have to get it on Netflix soon.
To think I was just peeved about my internet connection being weak and my browser lagging!
I can’t imagine how I used to cope with dial-up disconnecting every 20 minutes and taking up to an hour to check my e-mail sometimes!
Congrats on both the blogroll and the recipes pages…nothing like a little busy work behind the scenes to keep you busy. That’s what blogs do…they timesuck us in 🙂 In a good way, of course! I spent the weekend trying to install and learn some new photo editing software. In about 3 years i should maybe have it figured out. Right before they come out with another newer version 🙂
It’s so strange to think of life before the Internet. Although I was in college before it really took off. I’m old, huh? 😉
lol… well, not as old as my parents who always tell me about how they made $ typing their friends’ papers on the typewriter! What, no delete button??? Yikes, I would’ve had to have used a lot of white out!
oh my gosh i remember aol 1.0, 2.0 and 9.0 hahaha. CRAZY to think about what we did without the internet.. probably read more books and got better grades, that’s for sure lol
Poor aol… they were the big guys back then. They basically had a monopoly. I wonder what happened…
Lol every time you post about updating your recipe page, it’s old news to me because I stalk it/you daily and already admired it!! 😛 Love it!!
Seriously, I am MOVING to Texas so we can feast on balls and watch movies!! Those gingerbread balls are the BEST I will definitely be eating them all year round too! Festive food is the best, and should be eaten all year round 🙂
Gingerbread cookie dough balls sounds really delicious!
