This weekend wasn’t just about running, even though that consumed a lot of it. We also went to the oh-so-festive tree lot at the Target parking lot to get our Christmas tree! There was a lengthy discussion about whether a Noble or a Douglas was better (my family always gets [...] This probably means my weekends are lame, but one of the highlights of this past one was finding big containers of fresh raspberries at the store (another was finishing a hat I was knitting for the baby… yes I’m 86 years old). As soon as I got them home [...] My little sister came to visit for this fabulous 3-day weekend, and even though I was sick part of the time, we made the most it with a LOT of good food, a great run, and a batch of cupcakes. I got these last weekend but the week went [...] I recently discovered there is an AMAZING cake decorating supply store about a mile from my house.

I made those Double Ginger Cookies a few days ago, ate way too many of them, and realized it would probably be best for that marathon I’m running (in 11 days. OMG.) if I didn’t go crazy with sugar for [...] No, not the candy with caramel and nuts, the animal! I work in an after school program for kindergartners, and they’ve had a pretty intense fascination with turtles lately. I guess I can’t really blame them. Turtles are cool. Especially when they’re made out of frosting! These were a [...] Sometimes I have a really hard time deciding what kind of cupcakes to make. There are just too many options out there, and it kind of stresses me out, so I tend to just go with basic chocolate or vanilla. It absolutely thrills me when someone requests a flavor [...] |
