Project 365

Guess I'll do this, too. I dont really have a good camera for it...my Easyshare is messed up--the backlight isn't working so you can't always tell if you're getting a good shot or not until you actually upload the photos onto the computer. And my phone's camera is a crapshoot! Sometimes it takes good pictures, sometimes not...

And I'm starting this little project a little late so I'll go ahead and post three photos and try to catch up as quickly as possible!

Photo number one:



This is one of the few times my phone actually snapped a decent picture! This is my friend Roger (on the right) and his friend, Curt and their new band, Voodoo Jones at their debut show, January 7 at Pub 261. They were awesome! See 'em gettin' after it? Love love love going to see them play!



Brooke and I have gotten hooked on the show "Cupcake Wars". For those of you that dont know, I used to decorate cakes a while back. I got into it because I hated paying upwards of $40 for a birthday cake and figured I could do it myself a LOT cheaper since I can draw pretty well. I was right, I could. But then things and life in general got to the point where it was worth the $40 to have my time back! It's a lot of work. Plus I was eating all the leftover frosting...I think *most* cake decorators do! I was NOT going to be a tub of lard decorating a cake just to save a few bucks so I quit. Now I'll do one every once in a while.

But Brooke and I stumbled across Cupcake Wars on the Food Network once and we LOVED watching it. And anyone can eat a cupcake and live, right? (well, if you eat just one!) So she got the bright idea she was going to start doing cupcakes and came up with a few recipes/ingredients she wanted to try. Above was her first creation. It's a milk chocolate cupcake with caramel center, white chocolate buttercream frosting (homemade of course) with caramel drizzle and grated hershey's for garnish. It was scrumptious! My little budding entrepreneur may be onto something. One of my offspring has to make a million!



Last but not least is my latest alcohol fettish...Bailey's Irish Cream! Love love love a little in my coffee, usually at night but anytime works for me...as long as I'm not going to work! (and that's usually when I need it! haha)
