Don't know if top chef gets me in the mood for this sort of thing or because I'm just hungry, but I'm going for the triple play in the kitchen tonight: paneer, bread, and blondies

i've been watching Top Chef Chicago as well. and according to the commercial that is always on during, seeing food or hearing cooking prep sounds makes one hungry. Must start Tivo-ing... i've been watching it partly because i really like the show and partly because it is in Chicago. ahhh...the flashes of certain streets and buildings. i liked the wedding challenge last night. i'm rooting for the girl that made the bride's cake. i can't think of her name! and Spike and Dale are just ridiculous but i guess add to the bit of drama that the show needs.
on another note, i've been making cupcakes a lot recently and really enjoy just trying ingredients that i already have. i'm still using pre-packaged cake mixes for now until i get a proper mixer but only for the base. my latest were white cake, blackberry syrup and fresh blueberries frosted and topped with fresh blueberries and 1/2 with coconut as well. they were really good actually. i just have to remember to halve the damn recipe b/c there are tons of cupcakes.
Ooh, your cupcakes sound delicious! I almost always halve any dessert recipes because Kristina and I just can't eat that many sweets. Mind you, I love them, but even the power of my (now diminishing) Buddha Belly can't help me pig out on them too much, which is a good thing. One batch of blondies (made in a 9"x9") pan lasts us 1 to 2 weeks
