Quotes Vol. 21

"Sometimes people don't want to fall in love. Because when you love someone it's too late to set conditions. You can't say I'll love you if you do this or I'll love you if you change that. Because you can't help yourself and then you have to live with whoever it is you fall in love with however they are and just put up with the difficulties you've made for yourself. Because true love has no conditions. That's why it's so awful to fall in love."

Well, for starters, they don't have to look at each other." ~ Desperate Housewives

It's like I'm frozen in this place that I can't bear to be. I care about you so much. As long as I can remember, everything's always come back to you. I mean, even no matter what was happening between us. Even the thought of you is at least a constant comfort, but...I can't go back. It just hurts." ~ Dawson's Creek

It's the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens...you'll always love them." ~ Dawson's Creek

2nd time donuts and barbecue pork steaks

This is my second recipe attempt at making donuts. They tasted good this time, but the icing still doesn't set up firmly. It also had some chunkiness issues... Gonna wait awhile before I try them again.
I was planning a special type of donut to eat before the Susan G. Komen race. But, since these aren't working out so well, I found another cookie/bar recipe to use. If you are going to the Susan G. Komen race this year, you should come by my house around 7 for the special top-secret treat since I live right next to the Metrolink.

I also baked some barbecue pork steaks since I love them. Every other time I've made pork, it's been too dry but these were falling off the bone good.
