This just in: orange buttercream frosting = best thing ever.
(Used the easy vanilla buttercream recipe in CI, subbing in about a tablespoon and a half of fresh zest and a dash of organic orange extract.)
Wish the damn cupcakes were done and cooled so I could frost and eat.
as long as it's not me, Burrell, I'm good.
the aquarium sounds like such fun. Are you going to Cabrillo or Long Beach?
She hasn't killed in a while. She mightn't be as efficient anymore.
Is it OK to go to bed if you haven't even been up for 12 hours? And most of them have been spent watching America's Next Top Model? I feel like today has been such a waste, I might as well end it ASAP.
PMM! I meant to say to you -- two grocery stores down, and no Dutched cocoa. One of the grocery stores was snotty enough to have Scharffenberger and Ghirardelli baking chocolate only (no Hershey's or Nestle's), but no Dutching.
Which, really, isn't your fault or anything. It was just your name I wailed as I went back over the shelf again and again.
Next stop, Wholefoods.

Long Beach. Our friends live in Bellflower.
I already know I'm going to be dog tired afterwards, but I am so looking forward to it. The two girls ADORE each other. It's always killer diller when they get together. And luckily DH will be coming too, so he can run after them, if need be.
ita, did you see this excellent knife holder that tommyrot (I think) linked?
It's a perfect gift for you, but sadly can not be purchased in the US as they have no distributor.
ita, I know I've seen dutched chocolate at the Ralph's near me. Want me to buy some for you?
ita and Burrell, want to go to the Lush in SM next weekend?

That is a fun image. "Ple! Ple! Where's the dutch chocolate? Why is it hiding from me?!?"

Don't bother, at least don't bother with the one near me. I had to settle for unDutched baking chocolate. The irony is that I'm sure any regular ol' market has it.
