that just takes me to the joy of cooking page

But the list of all the desserts on the joy of baking site, right?

I'm not sure if I'll use their bar recipe. The Cook's Illustrated one is pretty good, and I'm not in an experimenting mood right yet.

I'm slowly going through my stuff, deciding what I either haven't used in a year or so¹, or haven't enjoyed using. Seems I like my stuff.

¹: Clothes are hella exempt from time limits -- enjoyment only.

Waiting for the washers to free up....

So Devi finally caught the mouse.

Amazingly, I did not wake up with it lying on the pillow next to me this morning.

No, she used her other toy trick.

It was floating in her waterdish this morning.

I love having to fish out soggy dead mice at 7 am.

Sara, I'd rather a soggy mouse than as a sleeping companion.

It must be the time of year because the mice in my walls have been very active lately, and my cats are spending a lot of time staring at the ceiling. I've been trreading carefully every morning because I know it's only a matter of time until a mousy carcass appears.

Spring in the air?

I think this one's arrival was a combination of snow, new bigger holes around my gas lines and someone moving in to the apartment below me. I hope it stays a fairly isolated event. There is a pretty pronounced mouse problem in the complex. However, I do not have a mouse problem, which I suspect is due to the presence of cats. I hope.

I want to go to The RioBelle Cupcake Cafe!

Will you have black-bottom cupcakes?

Last night I made a roasted chicken dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and corn, with fresh strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Bought myself a bunch of fresh daisies for the kitchen.

Also got half done with a script outline.

It was a good last week. Hope this week is just as happy-making. Please.

I think for me the key is that in certain hairstyles Tilda looks very much like a beardless Eric Stoltz. [link]

sounds like a good week to me Allyson.

But the list of all the desserts on the joy of baking site, right?

I guess. It's just confusing since the first entry is for "afternoon tea".

I just had brunch. Very yummy food, but very full and sleepy now.

Sadly, the second place I linked to this morning doesn't allow cats. They really need to say that in the ad, so people don't get their hopes up.

This cupcake talk is driving me mad. Mad, I tell you!

We tried to go to Cupcake Royale after dinner on our date a week ago. I'd been thinking of chocolate cupcakes all day. But they had live music, and it was all mid-performance, so it would've been awkward to barge in. So we went down the block and had Ben & Jerry's instead. But I'm still suffering from Cupcakeus Interruptus.
