Last Day

It is the last day of work here at Roadrunner... these last two weeks went by fast...

Tomorrow I start a new adventure... working at a Vet Clinic as a receptionist!

I may not be blogging at work any more but with luck I'll have exciting animial related stories to talk about and I will finally blog at home!

Just went out for lunch at 'Local' with the ladies for a good-bye and I had the fish tacos and yam fries... delicious, so delicious.

ALSO - I have many baking adventures to post about, asap.

until next time -

V-day Cupcakes

... with a lot of help from the Cupcake Queen Sarah. These would not look as pretty as they do or taste as good as they do with out all ST's help and expert advise! What I learned... and already new... I'm a messy baker... that's the truth, and I need to learn how to scrape a bowl down without getting batter all over the spatula!

Things to practice... but I may have lots of time to practice...
 since I just got laid off today...
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY...
it was bound to happen some day with the price of natural gas... so I'm looking at it as an opportunity for change... something I've been talking about so off we go... clearly I was hoping I'd have it figure out before I was unemployed...
but hey you can't always get what you want!
AND NOW - the cupcakes!



Sarah iced this one, beautiful! ... I also have to work on my piping pressure... it is an art and just a bit harder than you think to get the perfect dollop of icing on your cute little cupcake!

The Cheesecake Brownies that changed…

IMG_5686

These Brownies from my '”I Heart Sugar” bake book turned out more like a chocolate cake with a little bit of cheesecake flavour swirled in… (which was my doing… not putting the full amount of cheesecake batter in as I had the wrong size pan…)

So the next night… tonight Monday… I made some frosting/icing to jazz them up a bit as they were a bit bland… SO above is what we got! A brownie/cake/cheesecake/frosting square! TA DA!

BELOW – are the girls watching me ice getting impatient and so I snapped a photo, gave them a TREAT and uploaded to Picnik and added a V-Day boarder! Haha a bit kooky I know… but FUNNY!

Mac N' Cheese


 Homemade Mac N' Cheese ... I made it last night... the recipe is from my new Vegetarian Canadian Living Cookbook mum bought me for Christmas. All went well except the topping... I got a little impatient... as I always do... and by the end of the recipe I didn't melt the butter enough to mix with the bread crumbs and the remaining cheese... so the topping is a bit rough... but the Hubby still enjoyed it and so did I!


AND to 'TOP' it off... I have it for leftover's for lunch today, YUMMY!

Until Next Time -

Sunrise



The past few mornings we have had some amazing colourful sunrises
Mind you I did take the pictures on my 'SUNSET' function just to make the red and orange really pop!

One day we will get a new Desk like this – from IKEA!

DESK

Also a better computer chair / sweet message board / grey throw pillows / still need that paper shredder (just put everything in a bag to one day get shredded) / perhaps additional book cases… although the desk will give us a lot of space!

Too excited… it is beginning to look like a ‘women cave’ sort of… a work in progress!

Time to go watch a movie this cold Saturday night!

Until Next Time -
