So a friend and I were talking, mostly seriously (I guess), about taking a cake decorating class. This was some sort of hypothetical "in the future" thing ( Read more... )

I've been digging through my freezer and cupboards, because I'm pretty damn broke until payday, and I found cookies leftover from my holiday gifting. They should still be good... at least, I shouldn't get horribly sick, right ( Read more... )

12-0 is a pretty awesome start to a season. Go Packers! :)

Also, flisters, the baking begins soon. Sign up!

No clue what I'm making for Saturday, but I'm making taco dip tonight, and while I'm at the grocery store, I'm getting stuff for my birthday cake. Yay! My once-a-year cake extravaganza shall be awesome as usual.

Despite a freaking fabulous football weekend (BADGERS AND PACKERS AND "FIRE CHILDRESS" OH MY), I'm left in a sort of "Blergh" mood.

• On I-40 today, they were doing "construction." I never actually saw any machinery, hence the confusion. The bad part was that they necked three regularly-busy lanes of traffic to one - and forgot to put signs up. ( Read more... )
