My house smells like graham crackers and molasses. Probably because I just finished baking the s'mores cupcakes but who knows, it could be anything. Unfortunately I have to wait until tomorrow to eat them because I am too sleepy to pipe out thousands of pounds of buttercream frosting tonight. Woe is me ( Read more... )

All of my books are finally on shelves. I still have to organize the non-fiction and put a couple other books in order but, other than that, I AM FINISHED. Victory!!! The next step is to write a list of all of my books but I am a little bit hindered by laziness ( Read more... )

Vegan cupcakes so yummy that even my mom ( Read more... )

I really have to stop bumping my arm against the edges of the oven when I am taking yummy things out. I just get so distracted by the sights of cupcakes/casseroles/other-oven-baked-things that I don't pay attention to where my arms are and YIKES! Burn! By the end of the year my right arm is just going to be a mess of scar tissue comprised of thin ( Read more... )

Today was kind of lovely. Well, first I worked for 6 hours, which wasn't lovely but wasn't un-lovely either (although Jenn and I did make plans to see Juno). But then! I made another batch of Snobby Joes and some sauteed green beans with mushrooms so Andrea and I could have a cute little dinner party. Then we watched Arrested Development and ate ( Read more... )
