Psst.... I'm Gonna Get an iPad

SQUEE! I've been wanting and iPad ever since they came out. You'd think the fascination with them would have died out after that many years but I'm still as adamant as every that I want one of these fun gadgets. I've looked at other tablets and even have a Kindle Fire; but the obsession with wanting an iPad is still there. I FINALLY get to have one. Andrew has felt so strongly about me not getting one that I have fulfilled his wishes for years and haven't gotten one. However, it is finally time. He has given in. I am going to get the 32GB iPad Air. In white of course. Then I want to get this little decal:

I ♥ Yoshi

Anyway, the iPad will mainly be for school but really... it will be for anything I want it to be. I will read a lot on it too. I told Andrew I was going to donate my Kindle Fire to him. 

I also got this amazingly awesome bag so I can carry my iPad with me:

I love it. It holds all of my stuff and it has a padded pouch for the tablet. It is super cute inside too:

I'm  holding open the padded area for a tablet. Such a cute interior!

Ok, enough about all that. I'm not trying to be like "Oh, look at me, I'm getting an iPad." I'm more like "HOLY SHIT I FINALLY GET AN IPAD AND I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT IT."

Foodie Food:

Last night I made Gina's Spinach Tortellini Soup (minus the meatballs) and it was absolutely one of the most delicious soups I've ever had. YUM. 

*drool*

I cannot wait to have this again for lunch. I will make this again, and again, and again, and again.... and again. And now I'm going to do a product plug:

Do you hate chopping up vegetables? Slicing them? Preparing them to cook in any way? I do. Dicing an onion is one of my most hated activities when cooking. Dicing anything for that matter. This soup recipe called for celery, onion and carrots:

See how beautifully diced those are? 

I know there are a TON of different dicers on the market but I got mine from Avon. That's right. Avon. 

It comes with the plastic container that catches it all, different sized grate and even round ones for apples tomatoes, etc. It also came with a grater and a a mandolin slicing tool. It is amazing and cost me a whopping $19.99. I put the veggie or fruit on the dicer, I push the lid down, ta-dah! Instant diced veggies. 

If you are interested in this product, please check this link to order your own! (FYI, it is on backorder right now because it is so popular.)

I also used the mandolin slicer to slice up apples to make apple chips:

2 Apples (I used granny smith)

1 tsp cinnamon

Lay them out on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, do not overlap

200º oven

Bake an hour, flip, bake another hour, flip, bake another hour, flip, continue this process until the chips are the consistency you want. 

They make a marvelous snack!
