Just Cook It. Poppyseed Cake. SciFriday: Mouthgasmingly Magical Cloud Atlas Bars | Rollings Reliable. Yup I’m on that trend train at the moment. I know the book came out years ago and now people are only paying attention to it because of the movie…wah wah wah. Okay well I admit that it was probably the movie that brought the book to my attention but it was indirectly since it was the movie that inspired the scifi/fantasy book club I follow to read it and thus I picked it up. Truth be told I’d probably not have read it in anticipation of the film otherwise but I’m glad I did. Overall I’ve found this to be a really interesting read though it has some major and minor flaws. My biggest complaint is that at times it seems like Mitchell paints his characters to stand naked in front of you holding up a sign saying “DO YOU GET IT YET? IT’S SYMBOLISM/A THEME/A SIGN!” Oh my god! 1 – Adam Ewing’s story: an American notary in the 19th century who has traveled to Polynesia and is witnessing the enslavement of the pacifist Moriori tribe to the Maori (with help from meddling Western culture) Enjoy!

Piña Colada Cupcakes. Pineapple and coconut top these light pineapple cupcakes, what a perfect Spring dessert! For the coconut lover out there, these are super easy, low fat, moist and delicious! A variation of my pineapple bliss cupcakes, using a box of yellow cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple; no eggs, no oil or butter needed!! This is great for lazy bakers like me, takes less than 10 minutes to prep! You can make the cupcakes a day ahead and the topping as well which should be stored in the refrigerator. Once you top them with the frosting they should be eaten within a few hours.
