I desperately, desperately need for it to warm up soon.

March 27th, 2008

You’ll be shocked to find out that since my last post 3 years ago I made some cupcakes. Life is buckwild and unpredictable these days - one minute I could be watching Dances with Wolves: The Directors Cut, and the next minute I might be taking the train to work or going to the post office. You just never know.

For #43 last week Riki made pizzas for us while I cheered him on and chopped a jalapeno. He had real things on his pizza while I had fake things on my pizza that are made in a lab somewhere to taste like the real things. And they don’t quite taste like them, but man, that was one good pizza.

Aw, so cute, they’re snuggling. Opposites really do attract.

Then, in honor of easter and my love of all things pastel, I made red-velvet cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes take over the world. Look at that icing, it’s shiny for crying out loud.

I have more things to write about that don’t include food. I’ll do this tomorrow, or in April.
