The "Currently, What are you doing?" Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
that's coming from some Hinduism forum, The person is most likely Indian and they're spelling it wrong.

I gave you a link to a Persian brand called sadaf which import Persian "torshi" and it says it all over the website.

lol that is the right way to say it. I would know, just google it and you'll see.


lol...👍

prepping myself for 6 hours of physics and gen chem studying for the mcat...then off to the gym. got to get my sexy on 😎
 
I am.. not going to bed. Listening to the billionth repeat of a Mumford & Sons playlist. Writing (I don't mean this, just general stories). Sore from my workout yesterday. Stressing about my future. Typical.
 
Trying to find a page that explains the meaning and lists all the icons you find under people's names...like the donor and longevity "awards" No luck an hour later 🙁
 
Just finished anatomy and physiology finals (2hours 🙁 ) , and have free time between classes so that's why I'm here. Then I have math SAT review finals 😛
I'm wondering if there are anymore science research programs left now for the summer that I could apply for.
 
At a cafe with girlfriend...and sneakin peeks at SDN while she keeps begging me to help her in English...
 
My kids are busy feasting on their brunch, and we are going to go outside to play soon. Then, I'm going to read some PS's and write some history. After that, I'm going to clean while the kids sleep.
 
I'm working, because my cell phone and grocery bills aren't paid for by personal statements and LORs
 
packing to head back to school, trying to get over a headache, and enjoying some dark chocolate lindt truffle cupcakes I made yesterday 🙂

Stares at vegeta

god i miss dbz Q.Q,
those times were so much more simpler: power up, kill, tougher enemy appears, power up even more, kill, repeat
 
Currently doing nothing. I know I should be packing/cleaning/getting ready for med school but I have no motivation.

Also, anyone have advice on how to make baked goods with alcohol in them and to also keep that alcoholey taste? I'm going to a party where everyone has to make something with alcohol in it. I got stuck with dessert which sucks b/c I don't know how to cook or bake. I was thinking maybe alcohol in cupcakes? Can you do that? 😕

Jello's a dessert. Why not Jello shots? You could also make some ice cream with some vodka in it. It is summer after all.

I'm thinking the alcohol in any baked good would evaporate in the oven, amirite?

I'm liking the ice cream and vodka idea. Thanks for the suggestion! Someone's already doing jello shots so that's out.

And you're right the alcohol would evaporate if baked but I was wondering if I could keep at least keep the flavor of whatever it is (such as rum) in the baked dessert. I don't know it'll probably be too complicated.

You can get heavy whipping cream, add a tasty liquor of choice, and whip until you get whipped cream. Serve with anything you like.

Or you could make a rum cake (lots of recipes on the interwebz), which is generally epic and delicious. If you drizzle on rum after cake is done baking (dooooo this - might make a special glaze or something), it will definitely still taste rum-y.

Don't be intimidated by a recipe that does unfamiliar things! Cooking is a lot like lab work/following directions competently!

EDIT: So, I re-read one of your former posts and saw that you clearly say you don't know how to cook. So...lemme think...If you want to be low maintenance and do cupcakes from a box...I'd suggest a rum glaze (loads of recipes online, try to find one with a review) over a yellow or white cupcake. You could try mixing the glaze with something like cream cheese (would that taste gross?) to make it thicker/more frosting-like.

If you're willing to be a bit more adventurous, this rum cake (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/golden-rum-cake/) is made from a box mix + pudding mix + other random, easy ingredients.

If you wanted to be a bit of a smart..., you could say that you're dessert is birthday cake...and then have everyone do a birthday cake shot. Here's what you do:
1) Get a wedge of lemon
2) Cover one side of the lemon with sugar.
3) Lick sugar off the lemon.
4) Take a shot of Frangelico liqueur.
5) Bite the lemon.

Sounds crazy, but I promise it tastes remarkably like a generic birthday cake!

Rum Ice Cream

I forgot that adding too much alcohol depresses the freezing temp so you should probably stick with rum and not vodka.
 
meditating on the toilet, preparing myself mentally for tomorrow's mcat.

That is actually a really cool idea! I'm trying this a soon as I have a lemon b/c I have the liquer.

Yeah that is a good point and I think rum would taste better in ice cream.


Just for the record everyone I'm not an alcoholic I swear. :laugh:
 
back to meditating 😀. really clears your mind, you guys should try it
 
meditating again. same place, different time...who would have guessed
 
Do you have your laptop in you house of meditation 😵?


yes i do 🙂 currently meditating again. probably going to do it once more before i leave for the big test. I intend to slay this beast. Quick question for you guys, I had trouble sleeping last night and feel decent. I was wondering if I should go to the gym and workout (maybe run on the tread. for a lil bit), in order to help pump blood and keep me awake for the test. Any thoughts on this idea?
 
Currently, I'm goin' hard while I watch videos featuring Rick Ross.
