– an onion, garlic, and bacon smoothie. For Turkey Bowl Sunday, people. Not for breakfast. I'll post the recipe tomorrow. It makes for a pretty amazing turkey.
– testing of the party favors for my friend's baby shower. I dare you not to pee your pants after seeing this picture.
– making cake flour. Fun. That flurry of white in the picture is me sifting the flour and corn starch together. Sifting!
– nerding out in the kitchen by making a mustache cutout, then sifting (sifting!) cocoa powder onto some oddly colored cupcakes.
– note to self : put some sugar in the unsweetened cocoa powder next time. Might taste better.
– blue velvet cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Like Red Velvet… but blue.
I made the recipe with the correct amount of blue food coloring, but the color wasn't as intense as I wanted it. I wanted that blue to jump out from under the frosting and yell, "HEY! I'M BLUUUUUE!" But it turned out to be a very polite shade that just shook your hand and said, "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Bleu." (Yes, a French blue. Very proper. Not aggressive in the least.)
– one hell of a baby shower. I won't post pictures because the ladies might kill me. There were mustaches and bowties. Worn for a strangely inappropriate amount of time. While drinking and eating.
My favorite quotes:
[After removing the facial hair] We all look younger… and less distinguished.
[My bestie had a particularly fantastic 'stache reminiscent of Tom Selleck. One friend said:] I just want you to drive away in a muscle car.
There is some kick ass baby stuff nowadays. Like, why didn't they have that three years ago? Or six months ago? Dammit! I am behind the times!
