I'm A Ravenclaw I Like To Read Books

When I cast a spell its off the freakin hook.

So as some of you may or may not know, I recieved one of the most awesome gifts that a person could recieve from my twin brother Martin for Christmas. This present was a wand, but not just any wand but a want that actually does magic.

Now I bet you're thinking "wow Reynolds you actually used the correct for of you're and not your". 
Just Kidding. But really how can a wand actually do magic, magic isnt real?

UNTIL NOW!! muhahahaha. This wand can control the tv and on Friday night Jason, Kathryn and Jma came over and we tried to program the wand to the tv. Now not just any ole muggle can use this wand. After around 45 minutes of practice and working to get this wand to work. It took even more time to actually learn how to use it.

Anything a remote can do, I can do with this wand (along with my 3 counterparts who were along side for "charms" class). Different motions work for different controls on the tv so unless you know what your doing, its almost impossible to figure out how to control the tv.

Now sometimes I even have trouble but lets all admit, this wand is pretty awesome. It will also work on ANYTHING with a remote. All I have to do is get that remote and set it up.

Harry's First Birthday Cake: Chocolate Layer Cake

Okay so I did my first baking from scratch experience ever while cooking Harry's First Birthday Cake (which I made for my cousin Jamee's birthday). It was fun, but I must say if I recall from the movies correctly I think it was pink frosting and not chocolate, but my recipe called for chocolate so that's what was on it. I did have a little help from my mother, who bakes cakes a lot, in order for me to actually know what I was doing but I manually did all the work.

First I got all the ingredients, everything was homemade but the green icing, I was on a time limit so I cut that little detail out.

First think I had to do was make the chocolate for the cake.

Then for the cake itself. I'd tell you what I put it in but frankly I don't feel like typing it out, this it probably flour.

Beat that stick.

This became problematic when the flour decided it was going to attach to the bowl.

Continuing.

Finally, things are coming together. This process was pretty easy but kind of a pain.

Pouring it all in.

Watch out cake boss, Reyn's in town.

Mixing.

Adding that last ingredient, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Poor them evenly into 2 pans

Time to bake!

My mother wanted me to point out that we did indeed you high class chocolate (that she bought)

By this point Jamee was going to be on her way soon, I told Kacie to stall.

That looks so good.

Adding some butter!

Finally the cakes are done, I am starting to feel as if I am on a baking show and time is running out.

I made my mom stir for I had to prepare other things.

Getting that Butter!

Making the icing

Icing the cake.

A little sloppy.

Folks the recipe told me to let it run over the edge, chill.

There tis, It does say Jamee instead of Happae Birthdae Harry. And theres a color problem, w/e.

I added the Candles bc it is a birthday cake after all.



Alas the cake is done, and I even wore an apron to make the experience seem more "real". Hopefully in the future I will be making videos of my cooking/baking from harry potter. The cake was chocolate/coffee. I thought it was pretty good. It had a very strong taste that would be good with ice cream, unless your a big chocolate and coffee lover a big piece probably isn't the best idea. I had a lot of fun making this and I hoped everyone who got to eat it liked it!

Is Jesus a demi god? is rumor willis a demi moore? all of these are questions you are not aloud to ask the pope.

I have been watching a lot of movies this new year bc of the snow. These movies seem to have a common theme, demi gods. and this leads to a few questions.

Is Jesus a demi god? is rumor willis a demi moore? all of these are questions you are not aloud to ask the pope.

If you didn't know I am also the sun of god, or a spy. I haven't found out yet but I am pretty sure Hades was my father. He was hilarious, I am hilarious. Clearly we are related. (ok well he was hilarious in Hurcules...and it was kind of funny in clash of the titans.)

All kidding aside sorry I have not updated in a while. I do still plan on doing the cook book but I have been snowed in so I haven't gone to the grocery store and frankly the first thing on the list is like bacon and eggs. sorry to ruin the surprise, its such a rare meal. not. So I don't want to risk my life driving to get bacon.

On another note I no longer look like a hoarder and I cleaned me room. I also found the money I have been looking for!

I'm Julia Child...I mean Harry Potter?

Okay so as some of you may or may not know I do a sweet ass Julia Child impression. Well everyone knows that there is that movie Julie and Julia or something along those lines and it is an inspiration for my next blog assignment.

I can't remember if I told all of you what I will be doing in the coming year or not, so if I have please forgive me for repeating myself. I am to lazy to go back are read a couple blogs ago to find out. (We also made a video announcing this but we haven't gotten around to editing a posting....or even making the YouTube channel....w/e don't judge us)

I received The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook for Christmas and I plan on completing all the recipes for y'all. I will blog, take pictures and maybe if you are lucky I will even video some of me cooking.

Butter Beer is not in the book (boo you whores) but I will hopefully be making it first and pretending because I found a recipe. I will try to do one or two a week. The book is kind of legit though and has over 150 recipes, some from things in the book and others just good ole British food.

So for those of you mathletes out there you probably realize that this will take a really long time, then you have to add in the fact that I am the king of procrastination. It will get done though. Promise. (Ps I had to use a calculator to figure out how long it will take...)

Anyway that is all for now, hope everyone has a great safe New Years Eve!!!

Maybe if your lucky I'll make butter beer tomorrow!

Its okay to be different, if it benefits everyone else.

Quick update before I start the blog: We will soon blog/post videos from out adventure but were are procrastinators (and I lost my camera) but for right now here is one of my Christmas Posts I didn't actually write in post in time. This blog is a total joke about Rudolph.

From a very young age children are taught that they should be themselves and that "its okay to be different". But lets face it, its not okay to be different. People as a whole only except someone different if it benefits them.

Lets take the classic story/song/movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. He had a very shiny nose. Some even said it glowed and people laughed and called him names. No one liked Rudolph, what good was a shiny nose, he just thought he was special. Then on a foggy night he guided Santa's slay and the rain deer loved him. oh now you love him, now that he helps everyone out its okay to be different. Clearly the love for Rudolph only happens when its foggy, you never see Rudolph on a clear night.

here are some other examples.

middle schoolers always make fun of the tall kid, yet when basketball come around guess who is the first pick? When someone can't reach something the tall kid can.

I mean I just want to say that people should be more excepting of Rudolph's nose year round not just foggy Christmas nights.  I know one day I may need a giant to get something for me, or a midget to something from a really low place when I'm 80 years old and can't bend over anymore.

We are all different, I'm super funny and load more attractive then most people. I think differences are a good thing they make people unique.


unless your a ginger. that's never okay.

I want a black girl best friend...and also about finals

I have many best friends. Straight black men, gay black men, straight white men, gay white men, straight white ladies, gay white ladies....I DO NOT HAVE A BLACK GIRL BEST FRIEND.


And I want one.


Listen, they are fabulous. They know the best places to get their hair done, and their nails. And they find these places for CHEAP. They gotta be cuz they get it done super often.


I had a weave once, and I'd do it again too if I had a black girl best friend consultant. She'd take me to her hairdresser so I wouldn't feel awkward - like the last time... I was the only white girl in there and they were AWESOME to me don't get me wrong but I was like a commodity. It was hilarious. I was legit thrown into the movie "Beauty Shop" (I think...I've never actually seen that movie)


Anyway, is any fabulous black girl in the market for a white friend? 


I know not all black girls do their hair and their nails and look perfect all the time. Sorry, but that's the one I want. I want a paws and claws buddy. (For those of you who don't know that's mani/pedi)


I wish her to be the kind of friend that brings no drama, and if drama is started with me or our posse SHE STOPS THAT SHIT with a snap of her perfectly manicured fingernails. Then I can step in front with MY perfectly manicured fingernails and throw a big "talk to the hand" and on we go being fabulous. Yeah, I totally want a black girl best friend.


Since that little fantasy is short I decided that I'd ALSO write about finals.


FINALS SUCK.


that's all.
