Stil here...

So I know it's been a while since ElleMichelle.com has been updates or since I've blogged for that matter but it's been tough. I now work 40 hours a week and if you count lunch, it's 45 hours! It's a huge shock going from taking classes to a real job. But I truly love it. I am working in an engineering office getting some great experience.

I will now be writing blog entries for the website, www.thefreshman15.org. Go check it out! I will post when my first blog goes up.

Still don't have a good food tip written but I will do it, I promise!

5000!

ElleMichelle.com officially has 5000 hits! Yippee! If you were the 5000th person, email me, I will have a prize for you!

Still working on thinking of a great food tip...

Food Tip Part Dos

So I started to write a food tip and it wasn't good. I am very stumped on a topic right now and could use some assistance. Any ideas?? What would you like to know more about?

Food Tip

So I know I have been such a slacker lately. I've been home and on vacation so it's tough to keep up with College Bites for right now. However, I am currently writing a new food tip and it will be posted soon. Look out for it!

I'm back!

So what's a better way to return to the world of Elle Michelle than with an article about me in the MIAMI HERALD!!!

In today's (SUNDAY!!) paper, there is an article in the Weston Neighbors section all about me and College Bites!!

Here's the link:

The Cake!

Here are some pics of me and the cake I made. It's a hat and has the initials of all the mother's that were at our Mother's Day Brunch. I hope everyone has a great week and I will be back in a few days!!

Mother's Day

So it's that time of the year again and of course I have been commissioned to make a cake. I spent all day today baking and ended up with a hat cake! It's a chocolate fudge cake covered in butter cream then covered in fondant. I think it turned out pretty cute although it started out as a blob then morphed into a hat. I will put pics up of it tomorrow. I won't be blogging for a few days after tomorrow as I will be busy with other things. Be back tomorrow with pictures...

Dave's Demo

So I went to Dave's demo tonight against my better judgment. He was good, made 2 very Jew-y recipes which I can appreciate. I chatted with him after the demo and he said he would check out College Bites for the second time (first time was at SoBe Wine and Food fest), let's see if he actually does. It's weird, when I watch live demos (and also on TV), I finish their sentences in my head and think about what I would say. For instance, if someone asks a question about using one flour over another, I answer it in my head and then he ended up saying the same answer. I totally think I could hold my ground up there and do one of those demos, there was nothing he said tonight that I didn't already know. Maybe one day I will be...

Dave Lieberman?

So Dave will be in my neck of the woods tomorrow doing a demo at Macy's. I am planning on going although it could be like every other demo he does and I don't know if I need to see that again. I would love to be able to pick his brain. I am very tan and have a cute dress, maybe he will let me?? We will see what happens.

What does everyone think of the latest College Bites? If my Grandma only had a computer and knew I had a cooking show, she would love that I made one of her recipes. Okie dokie, I'm hitting the hay so I look rested tomorrow for Dave...

New Episode and Recipes

There's a new episode and also new recipes posted! Go check them out. I have been lazy about blogging, but I will give a good meaty one tomorrow...

New pics and new episode

Today I had a bunch of pictures taken for the website when it gets remodeled-- look for them later this summer! I am also posting a new episode tomorrow with a bunch of new recipes. I have to finish packing and drive home in the morning. I'll be blog more tomorrow...

Pomp and Circumference

Okay I know the song is really "Pomp and Circumstance" but hey I'm studying to be an engineer, I like my version better! In case you don't know, a circumference is the length around a circle =2*pi*radius. Okay no more math lessons today. I went to engineering graduation last night and while it was fun, it was very challenging. My job was to get people to phonetically spell their names on their call card. Those engineers are so stubborn, no one wanted to spell their name out. I can promise you there wasn't a John Smith in the house. At the end of the day I was so sick of saying "You have 12 consonants in your last name, phonetically spell it out dammit!" Now there's a whole new group of engineers out there so next time you drive over a new bridge or road, it could have been a Florida Grad that designed it for you!

Anyway, I filmed my GatorWell dorm cooking basics video. It was a lot of fun. I didn't have a live audience and I love when I do, I work much better. I will also have a graduation themed episode of College Bites posting Sunday. Get excited, I make a good ole' family recipe.

Tomorrow brings a photo shoot for the remodeling of ellemichelle.com. I have a friend who takes amazing pictures and he's going to take some for me. Yippee!

I'll be around this weekend packing then I am going home Monday.

IT'S SUMMER!

It's officially summer and I am so thrilled! Tomorrow I film my cooking basics video for GatorWell, more information to come!

There is a first for everything...

So now that it's 6 am, I can say I pulled my first all-nighter in the three years I have been in college. It wasn't fun or pretty, but I survived! Damn you finals week. My exam is at 10 am, then I have to do a little work, get a little nap and then on to studying for my last TWO exams tomorrow. I honestly have to say what got me through was eating leftovers from a College Bites episode filming and watching Dancing with the Stars at 5 am. I ate some of my mashed potatoes and zucchini canoes (meat or cheese stuffed in zucchini), they hit the spot Now my belly is full and I am ready to charge forward. Look for the episode and recipes online this weekend! I do not recommend pulling an all-nighter unless you have hearty sustenance. This was a first and last...
