My mom made a pretty good Red Velvet cake for Christmas Eve dinner. The 10-y.o. nephew was rather suspicious of it at first, but was convinced to try it after Mom told him it was chocolate cake colored red, and he loved it after he tasted it.

If you can't find it, Lee, it's fine. I should probably get a subscription to CI one of these days.

Hmm. I could hit the Gourmet Cupcake Bakery on the way home from work with a small detour...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Are those the cupcakes you brought to Denver, Brenda? They were really very good.

I love red velvet cake. But dang, that's a lot of food coloring.

Oh, and speaking about shoes! Who was it that gave the link to Ian's shoelace site, was it tommyrot? Changed my life! Turns out I've been tying my shoes wrong my whole life (knot and bow in the same direction, resultin in a flop-eared bow that comes untied easily). I have adopted the double helix lacing style which is much quicker and easier to tie tightly and loosen, and Ian's shoe tying method which is so fast and stays tied firmly all day long! For years I have been wearing slip on shoes (that don't fit as well) because I hate the saga of shoe-tying so much. And it turns out there was a really simple solution.

So thanks!

I bet he would too. Tonight is his grandad's birthday and we are having pizza, but no cupcakes. and really cupcakes are afternoon kid food, not night food.
