So, tomorrow my former boss is graduating from CCM. Last year, when all the other girls in my department graduated from college (there were three of them), she arranged for each of them to have a homemade cake and a card and a gift. I thought it would be nice if someone did that for her, and seeing as how "someone" means "me" most of the time, I ( Read more... )

Oh man, internet, I just finished The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan and it was frigging awesome! It's a vampire book, but it puts kind of an interesting spin on the mythology. Believe me, no one is more burnt out on vampire crap than I am, but this was fresh and cool and incredibly creepy. Like, "Man, I might actually have to sleep ( Read more... )

I am going to see Scott and his band tomorrow night, along with quatredeathlady and ruecian. It is our anti-write-in, our NaNoWriMo celebrating celebratory celebration. I am making several baked thingys for people I will probably not be ( Read more... )

I'm making cupcakes for my staff meeting at work tomorrow! They are strawberry! What kind of frosting should I put on them?

Poll cupcakes?(Note: I don't have any actual strawberry left, so I'll be using strawberry milk to give the frosting a strawberry flavor. IT'S AN EXPERIMENT ( Read more... )

So, I bake. Kind of a lot, though less so recently because our oven has been broken and, you know, I work a million hours a week on a weird changing schedule. But I do love to bake, as most of you who know me IRL can attest. I used to bake a lot of cookies and muffins in high school, but since getting my own oven in college about three or four ( Read more... )
