I made a twitter account. I am now linked into the great world that is microblogging. To celebrate this, I am macroblogging it, while at work. Hopefully none of my co- workers read this and get onto me about it. :)
Not to much is going on in my life, I am going to go camping for spring break-- Somewhere -- we still need to make reservations. Which we will do tonight. Jared had a fight with the bank so that put off our reservation making.
This weekend we will be going down to austin for a party, hopefully. As well as gathering the rest of our camping supplies. :)
I am pretty excited. I havnt seen my family in awhile, and I dont know if i will have time to see them this weekend. :(. I recieved a package from my father today. He 2 day fedexed me some perfume from his last trip to france. He took a trip to Grasse and picked me up some perfume at Molinard. ^_^;;. Its pretty divine, and i need to go squee about it on the BPAL forums. I also need to order the roses from BPAL but that may have to wait. We shall see.
I have been getting involved in foodblogging, and though my food photography isnt yet up to snuff, its a fun community and I am enjoying the challenges. I am tackling one at a time, and still have to put the banners for Recipes to Rival and Daring Bakers up on this blog. There are a few other foodblogging comunities I would like to take part in, but i have time constraints. Like work, and life.
I've been too busy to upload alot of my real camera pictures, like i have an AMAZING mac and cheese post to make, and i should replace the pics in the boston cream pie post. And i think i still have a cookie post from MONTHS ago to make. Not to mention some funny pictures of the bf to put up. :)
Keep looking, ill get some free time one of these days.

Boston Cream Pie
Apparently boston cream pie is difficult to make.
This is, of course, according to my boyfriend, who remembers watching his grandmother slave over a hot stove, folding cake batter upon itself, and making ganache and pastry cream for hours on end.
I wouldn't call it DIFFICULT, i would say its a waiting game, where everything has to be done in exactly the right order or your royally fuxxored.
Once again, a crappy camera phone picture. But this was tasty.
I havn't mastered the art of making ganache look elegant...but i will. I think perhaps i should have just made more of it, and spread it like icing... Maybe next time.

Feb. Daring Baker
I have been very VERY busy with work and well...work.
And a shoddy from my camera phone it is, but here is February's daring baker post for me. (Two days late!)
I have cooked and baked a LOT of other things that I want to post. But this is the most pressing, so it gets the honor of being posted while I am at work. Usually I wouldnt post something if it didnt turn out 100%, and this was DEFINITELY not 100%. In fact, I overwhipped the egg whites, slightly overcooked it, and it was dryish and a little burnt. :/. So much for my first daring bakers challenge. It ended up turning into chocolate milkshakes that I TRIED to take pictures of for stories sake, but failed at that too.
No chocolate valentinos for me.
But i do have to say one thing, it was fun!
