Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls with Nutella

My Spring break has officially ended on Monday.

Happy time can never lasts long enough..

I'm still trying hard to get my lazy ass back on track,

No more late night movies, no more afternoon tea by the beach,

Now I can only stare at my textbooks..my powerpoint slides..and my computer screen..

But whether my Spring break ended or not, I still need to eat yep?!

Tummy always comes first.

Since I can't go out and enjoy the sunshine by the beach anymore (at least during weekdays),

At least I can still feed myself right,

Feed myself with something yummy and can be done quickly so I'll have enough time to catch up with school works (> __.<).

So here it is, my 15 minutes snack-

Ingredients?

1 can of Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls

8 tablespoons of nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)

How?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Separate the dinner rolls and lay them on the baking sheet,

Put one tablespoon of nutella on the end of each triangle dough,

Roll it up and shape it into half moon figure.

Bake for 12 minutes or until the top turns golden brown-

This simple dessert is done, only takes me 15 minutes!

Cindy's Rating: 7

P.S. Have to eat it when it's hot, otherwise just heat it up in the oven before serving.

I put a "miss you" note in the snack box together with the nutella roll for my boyfriend-

But...sigh...guys...or maybe just him,

At the end of the day, I asked, "did you see anything in the snack container today?"

Mr. Confused: "?? Huh??"

Me: I looked at the container, the note was laying there on the bottom. Sad and lonely.

Mr. Confused only saw the nutella roll and possibly ate it with a big smile on his face,

The note? Sitting on the bottom..waiting for someone to notice its presence...

Even after closing the lid himself, Mr. Confused never seen any unnatural object in the box...

Maybe I should just be glad that Mr. Confused did not swallow the note with the nutella roll..

Grand Canyon Trip - South Rim

I'm back!
After spending 2.5 days in one of the most magnificent natural wonders in America,
Man, I am exhausted!
But my mind was definitely filled with new knowledge and energy from our mother nature!

Let me show you some pictures during the trip.

We dragged our feet to Mather Point around 5:40 a.m. in order to let the first sunlight shine on us,
I really mean it when I say "shine on us."
It was freezing, -7 degrees Fahrenheits that morning! We really need that sunlight,
And it was worth the wait-


The sun shining on the rocks-


After embracing the sunlight, we immediately head back to our hotel and nap for 2 hours.
Can't keep our eyes open,
We napped till 10 a.m., still early.

Later on we decided to do an easy hike around the Rim Trail,
Met this little guy during our hike-


Besides that, we also encountered a group of...not so smart (I was gonna say stupid!) creatures-


Can't see clear enough? Let me show you a closer view-


What a group of...$(%&$(*%$$...
We have no idea how in the world they got down there,
There's no trail and no smooth rocks lead to that edge,
What if someone slipped?
Want a visual of the the depth of the canyon?


And remember, it was freezing that morning, so some of the ice were not melted yet..it was very slippery...
I don't know what happened to them later on...too painful to watch.

During our hike, we also saw two deers, many crows, and two condors!


Condor is one of the many endangered species,
Before they were almost gone, only 22 left in the entire planet earth,
Good thing we finally realized the situation and trying to bring them back,
So far there're few hundreds of condors in the world,
Not enough, but it's a progress.

The main reason why they're dying off..
Well, human of course.
Taking away their natural habitats, food sources,
Also hunting, not necessary killing them directly, but the use of bullets made with lead.
They might eat those bullets falling on the ground and poisoned to death.

If any of your friends hunt, tell them not to use lead made bullets.

As you know lead will stay in our body and that is a serious problem.
So far California has banned the use of lead made bullets, but how about other states?
Imagine you're eating deer meat or even fish,
Do you know if they were killed by lead bullets? do you know if the fish was not poisoned by lead leaking to the river?
(I got carried away here, just makes me so mad when I talk about these kind of things)

So yeah, the picture of the condor seems small,
But our lovely park ranger showed us the wingspan of a mature condor, 9 feet!-


What an amazing creature.

We also saw this on the way back, I called it snake-wanna-be tree-


The trip was wonderful,

Sometimes I wonder...how long these natural wonders will last?
It makes me feel like I should travel as much as I can..one day some places might be gone forever,
Great Barrier Reef in Australia,
Glaciers and icebergs in Alaska,
Galapagos Islands, Amazon River,
So many places that might be gone in a glimpse if we don't take care of our planet.

Put more effort in protecting our environment,
Do something is better than do nothing.
