Almost One Year Done, With Forever to Go

Is it possible to put Embossed Graphics on a cake? I know they are used on invitations, but I was wondering if that is possible because if it is, that would certainly enhance a cake. Don’t you think so? I’ve been thinking about it because there are a few months left to go and we will be celebrating our first year wedding anniversary.

And with that in mind, I have been contemplating on how to make it extra-special and having a cake with awesome designs would be one. Yeah, but that’s just one idea, because I still have a lot of things in mind. (“,)

McCafe

On our recent trip to Charlotte which is about a two-hour drive from our city, I forgot to drink my coffee at home. Maybe because I was so excited and was so engrossed preparing our breakfast and stuff. We left at 5:30 in the morning too so, after about an hour drive and seeing McDonald's, the husband and I decided to have our cups of coffee. The husband brought his coffee with him, but he wanted some more.

My cup. I had to wait a few minutes before drinking some because it was just so hot! But it was yummy! Well, coffee has always been yummy! (",)

Christmas Time’s A Coming!

The holidays are really here! Are you done with your gift list for Christmas shopping? Not me and that is because I am still debating on what to get the husband. I already know what to give my son because knowing him, he’ll be delighted with toys. A specific toy though and not just any toy.

I’ve been choosing between a few things for the husband. Had it been that I was rich, I shouldn’t have had this problem. LOL. But I have my budget for the gifts so I need to give it much thought. Those Luminox blackout watches are really nice which I am sure he’d love, but I’ve got to think of the budget so I’ll see about that.

I’ve Become a Cookie Monster!

Everything should be taken in moderation. Is that not true? I know it is true. I am just trying to justify my actions after I indulged in a huge amount of chocolate chip cookies earlier today. It was the cookies that my son bought from his school’s fund-raising.

I finally got to cook some last weekend and I couldn’t stop myself from eating. I didn’t eat them all, though, but I did eat too much. I hope this will not affect my health like having a Thyroid imbalance perhaps because I indulged yesterday as well as today. Ooops!

Halloween Munchies

We were invited to the Halloween Party of my son, Yogi's schoolmate on the 29th of October and the kids had a blast. The hostess or the mother of Yogi's schoolmate prepared games for all the kids as well as foods that were creatively prepared. Below were some of them. I never got to take a photo of all of it because it was really chaotic that time with all the kids running and shouting here and there.

This was the very first one that I tried. Those were chocolate-frosted crackers.

Chips resting in peace. LOL.

I Luv Freebies!

With their busy lives trying to cope with work and all, more people are now trying out online dating sites to meet people who share the same interests as them. It is the most convenient way after all in this helter-skelter world. And that is why online dating sites are sprouting like mushrooms on the internet.

But not all offer free stuff like LuvFree.com. Video chat, sending messages, etc; you name it, it’s free on the site. Who doesn’t like free stuff? It’s the best of both worlds there. You not only get freebies, you get to meet people too. Great!

I’m Crazy for Cooking!

I’ve always wanted to learn how to bake. I am a sweets person and if I will know how to bake, the easier I can satisfy my cravings anytime I feel like munching or eating the sweets of my choice. It can be any pastry. Or perhaps cookies, or cakes, or brownies; whatever! As long as it is chocolate, though.

I am pretty well aware that baking is not just about cooking. I need to have the proper tools and equipment to make it easier and hassle free. But not abrasives, husband! He’s been kidding me about it because he’s got abrasive tools and stuff. I already have the oven and baking pans and dishes, but that’s all. I know I need more.

I will look more into it and I do hope I will get a good bargain because I know some of them can be costly.

R.I.P. Cake

Our neighbor's kid celebrated his 6th Birthday a few days before Halloween so, they've got a Halloween theme. Below is his cake that his mom baked and decorated herself.

I was amused when I saw it. This is a chocolate cake. She made used of crackers as tombstones and wrote R.I.P. on it using chocolate syrup. The skeleton was not edible though. I thought it was, but it is made of plastic.
