Look What Kent Whipped Up

Kent cooks the BEST salmon (among many other things)! When it’s on our menu that means he’s cooking and I’m taking a break. Not really, I was doing laundry while he cooked but hey look how delish! That’s chard in the skillet next to the salmon and it was fab too.

Kent’s such a awesome cook and I’m the lucky lady that gets to eat his food when he gets the urge to cook!

I want to hear from you: If you could

have anything for dinner

(distance, season, and money are no

concern) what would you have?

Me, I would be dinning in the streets of Zhuhai, China with my booty resting on a upside down bucket sipping warm noodle soup and eating fresh steamed fish. Can you tell, I’ve really been missing China lately :( 

Twilight Themed Cupcakes

My neighbor hosted a Twilight party over the weekend! I felt like I was cheating on my new vampire obsession by going but I tucked my new books away in a quite drawer and tiptoed out of the house with these bad boys in hand. I don’t think my new vampire loves even knew I left. ;o)
Homemade red velvet cupcakes topped with homemade cream cheese frosting. Kent who is not big on sweets (thank the lord for that, otherwise I would be 50lbs heavier) LOVED them! In my world that means they were delish and they were if I do say so myself.

Get it, it’s suppose to be blood! I drizzled them with red food coloring and called it a day. These would be fun to do for a Halloween party too!

My neighbor went ALL out for the party. She had a life size cutout of Edward, Twilight posters, Twilight plates and napkins. It was too cute! I took a few pictures but I’m too lazy to go down stairs and pull them off my other camera. I know, sad, but in my defense I’ve been running around all day (I’m writing this Wed at 12am) AND I got lost in IKEA. That’s enough to make anyone tired!

Grateful

I was out running errands and saw this stunning sunset. I just had to share it with you. Sometimes it’s good to just stop and be grateful for the things around us. A beautiful sunset always seems to remind me of this.
