I’m getting real excited about my new (old) camera, y’all.
This is what it looks like:
It’s not a SLR, but it’s not a point-n-shoot. So I’m pleased.
This is what I look like when I’m pleased:
Since I’m studying abroad in approximately 2 weeks, I borrowed this camera in an attempt to save money by taking a million pictures in lieu of buying stupid souvenirs that I will never use/throw away/lose/forget about/accidentally leave on a plane.
What I learned about photography today
- PASM stands for program, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual.
- To get better pictures in light, have a slower shutter speed and a larger aperture (smaller aperture value).
- Higher ISO values mean grainier pictures.

Chocolate chip cookie cups
Easy to make usually means easy to mess up, so that’s what I did!
Pictures and a full story later.
Updated: So, I was really hankering for some chocolate chip cookies ever since my stepmom made this awesome batch of chocolate chip cookies with Oreos embedded inside them. But I wanted to add an (easy) twist. So I just followed the Toll House recipe on my bag of chocolate chips (substituting a cup of white chocolate chips for the second cup of normal) and put the dough in a mini muffin tin.
My first mistake was trying to “soften” butter in the microwave. Apparently, it gets real hot in there. Butter = melted. Sydney = sad face. We were out of butter, so I just decided to go with it. Already stressed, I made my second mistake. Instead of cracking my first egg on the bowl like a normal person, I slammed it against the granite counter top. Egg went everywhere, y’all. Not fun to clean up.
Luckily, the cookie cups were super delicious. 
Food TV Observation #1
Whenever someone says “just a little bit” or “a good pinch”, it means “turn the bottle of whatever you are pouring upside down over the bowl for like 3 seconds” or “grab as much salt from that cute little bowl as you can so it cascades from your fingers very prettily into your dish”.

I could pound a whole box of Wheat Thins at any time.
No joke, y’all.
In my dream last night, I imagined that the post two posts down about my Disney dream got like 17 reblogs. I was quite sad when I woke up and my brain was like “Oh, hey, that was a dream”.
But I checked, just to make sure.
