The key to a Man's heart is...Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf!!! Yes - you heard right! Bacon wrapped meatloaf! I mosey'd over to the Pioneer Woman's blog and found the recipe for this delicious number :) Good thing it comes with a prescription for cholesterol pills! he he DH thoroughly enjoyed it! (And cuz he's very well trained...he also said he likes mine better! lol I think he was toying with me, cuz he immediately chased that with a comment on how good the bacon wrapping was;)
Happy Birthday Kate! I got a cake order from an adorable 9 year old girlie! I told her Mom to ask kiddo to draw a picture of the cake she wanted - and she did! I full 3 tier cake with NO FONDANT!!! Eek! I really really suck at smooth frosting! I know a big part of it is my own fussy-ness...but seriously - I really am not great at it - but - how do you say no to a giddy 9 year old?? The top tier is a rice krispie treat - the rest is marble cake :) It was a ton of fun and she was super happy with it! YAY FOR 9 YEAR OLD GIRLS WHO LOVE CAKE!!! :)
Oh! Did I mention that I had TWO Cakes on the same day?? (side note - remember waaaaay back when I said I was giving up cakes forever?? yeah - well...ummm...I'm kinda sucking at that!) This yummy number is marble too! And LOTS of marshmellow fondant! Aren't the butterflies adorable??! Kiddo's Mom brought them in for me to use and I've got so much mad-love for these things, it's not even funny! AND I treated myself to some super cute fondant cutters (circle, stars and flowers) I really had a ton of fun with this one too! Youngest kiddo helped me roll out all the fondant balls (and it's a darn good thing cuz my hands were in agony by the time I was done! :((side note #2...see Dr. about carple tunnel (sniff)) I'm feeling pretty old these days...my hands are super super sore! I haven't had to wear my brace in ages, but today...I didn't get to take it off even once! My fingers are all pins and needles and it aches to open and close my hand. :( I know I need surgery - I really can't put it off any longer...but good lord! The idea of not using my right hand for at least 3 weeks??!! Honestly!! Is there anyone out there who can imagine me being on the disabled list for that long?! I'll go stark raving mad!!! :( Seriously! I'm right handed and there isn't a darn thing I can do with my left had that's even slightly creative, that I can pull off with my left hand only! I can't even hold a book very well with my left hand! :(
Ok - so...that's it for now...I know there are a zillion other things I meant to chat about...but I'll be darned if I can remember any of it! lol
