Liz Lists
Lists. They're my expertise. Scribbled everywhere: my notebooks, pieces of paper in every jacket pocket, post-its on my mac, many times even on my hands. So the newest addition to the anthology of Liz Lists is the:
"Things To Do Over Spring Break."
Complete An Entire Newspaper Crossword Puzzle Without Using Wikipedia
Invent A New Vegan Cookie
Find Somewhere To Camp-Out In St. Michaels
Ride My Bicycle
Find Sweet Subjects for 4 Rolls Of Film
(right now I am thinking of "Hands")
This adjustable list can be tweaked any way I please but, I'll keep you updated on which "tasks" have been fulfilled.

mmmmmmm mmmm good
adapted from a recipe from post-punk kitchen. these cookies are badass, vegan, and they've got a little kick. i might consider toning down the amount of cayenne i use next time.
Spicy Chocolate Snickerdoodles:
makes 2 dozen
bake at 350 degrees F
topping: 1/3 cup sugar, 1 t. ground cinnamon
wet ingredients: 1/2 cup safflower oil, 1 c. sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 3 T almond milk, 1 t vanilla extract, 1 t coconut extract
dry stuff: 1 2/3 cups flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 t baking soda, 1/4 t. salt, 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/2 t cayenne
heres what you do:
1. put toppings in a plate and set aside
2. mix together wet ingredients, and mix dry ingredients in separate bowls. slowly add the dry stuff to the wet ingredients until the mixture looks cookie doughy.
3. roll into walnut, ping pong, or other small spherical shape and flatten into sugar topping mixture. place on baking sheet sugar side up, and bake for about 10 minute.
*important to let cool on pan for 5 minutes before relocating to drying rack.

Diamonds on the Soles of My Shoes
It was in the 1950's that Joseph Shabalala showed talent for the art. Joseph went on to start Ladysmith Black Mambazo which is now the 9 member band I saw on Saturday. Their music influenced Paul Simon's album Graceland. Everyone needs a little Mambazo in their lives, so CHECK IT OUT!!!!
