Cupcakes, storms, and skillet cake.

It's been an awfully long time since I've done an open update in my journal - I've been back in Kansas for a little more than two weeks and I've been doing many of the things I was looking forward to by the end of my long year overseas.

While I was in Kansas City I took a bunch of pictures of my niece. I have some nice pictures of Sam here, but not ( Read more... )

Great pics, as usual. And I'm so glad that the date was better than expected.

But most of all, I want to say THANK YOU for telling me how much a stick of butter weighs. My microwave only measures butter in sticks (for softening or melting), and there is nothing in the booklet which explains the weight of a stick, and none of my other cookbooks say anything about it either. Now I know!! And I can stop randomly guessing, or just saying '3 sticks', cos that's the most it will do.

On to greater baking!

That's so funny! Glad I could help. :-)

I stayed home and the storm chased ME. Big branch dropped a few feet from my kitchen window, but my car was okay. Tonight was nice for fireworks, though (I live across the street from the place they launch).

The one I photographed was a different formation from the one that came in along I-70 from the direction of Abilene - that one was a real wowzer, yeah!

Your niece is adorable! And I hear it's good luck to have fireflies wandering around the house (nothing's more irritating to a gremlin than a firefly.) ;)

She is very cute. Her sister is also incredibly cute. What a pair!

I'll take all the good luck I can get! :-) Fireflies of the neighborhood be ware!
