Just a few things:
- You're all following the reviews for Laurenn J. Framingham’s Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter: The Laughing Corpse: Book 2: Necromancer over at Chris's Invincible Super-Blog, right? If you're not, and you've been mocking Twatlight and LKH and all its facepalming inspiration, you really need to check this out. Link is to the latest annotated review.
- Bakerella does a lot of cute, labor- and time-intensive novelty desserts on a regular basis. Cake pops dipped in candy and decorated with individual sprinkles to look like sheep, or chicks, or apples, or cupcakes. Fruit pies on a stick. Cupcakes that look like hamburgers paired with sugar cookie french fries. Ridiculous. Adorable. Waaaaaay more time and effort than I want to put into something so full of sugar that one taste will drop me like a rock, especially when none of my friends have enough of a sweet tooth to help me eat them.
And then, there is this. Pumpkin pie bites. INORITE? Could they be any more adorable? Any more delicious? Any more the epitome of all that is good and right with autumn? Oh, oh, oh, and then she goes and pipes wee jack o'lantern faces on them with chocolate? More than this mere mortal can bear. I want to make them sooooooo badly that I cannot even put it into words. Okay, okay, they're not vegan. They're...uh...not even close to vegan. BUT, I have evaporated milk and canned pumpkin already on hand. Seriously, real-life friends of mine, can we have another occasion to celebrate so I can make these and bring them? Please? PLEEEEEAAASE?
- It is delightfully windy, sunny and chilly this morning. We've been outside twice already, and the Podling is clamoring to go back outside again. He says 'outside' like this: "zah-sigh!" It's cute. We're working on words, but he is only really interested in 'outside,' 'thank you,' 'bye-bye', and 'night-night.' Although, on Saturday he said something that sounded a lot like 'pancake.' ....we WERE having pancakes.
