It is supposed to be something else entirely. However, when you have been cooking all of the wonderful food that we have been having around here, you just have to post pictures.
These delightful and very yummy cupcakes were from Vegan Cupcakes Take over the World, as is the chocolate Ganache. I whipped them up for a study group Sister was having today.
Here they are "bald".
Peace.

I came home from work early this morning, feeling pretty dizzy and "spinny". I might have a sinus infection. That said, I came home from work feeling pretty terrible. So inamagine my suprise to get the message from my hubby that a photo I took was on vegan.com
I was pretty proud of that photo when I took it. And by the way, it tasted just as good as it looked! Check out the recipe at my hubby's blog.

Just as lovely as chocolate covered strawberries... but better! I have never really understood the hate for carob. I agree that it isn't quite as tasty "raw". But I love baking with it. I find that it has a richer flavor.
Enjoy!

Your depseration is showing. You might want to look to that.
That seems to be the most common thing I see during the week. My hand on the steering wheel of my car. I took this pic, fell in love with it, and am using it for an avatar on some of the sites that I am on.
At this very moment I have food in the oven that will be used to make other food for this weekend. So I thought that I would take just a moment to post. This week was spent dealing with business things. And other stuff. Lots of reading. I have at least three books that I am reading now. There has to be a twelve step program for me. I just bought three more books at St. Vinnie's.
I think that there may be a flurry of posting for me this weekend. I am baking lots of yummies for the weekend. We also have some fun planned. Plus, I got
tagged for several lists. Those require some planning for me. I just can't seem to do them without pictures.
So for now, Peace.
I did something very unusual for me. I actually got up early. I relish the moments in-between snooze button slammings. I doze in and out, have strange little mini-dreams that frequently have guests-stars in them that are actual stars ( I spent two weeks with guest appearances by David Hewlett). Sometimes, I listen to the morning sounds.
But this morning, my alarm went off, and I got out of bed. I spent the time that would have been wasted, trying to get thirty more minutes of sleep meditating. Much better for my mental health, than that thirty minutes, I am sure.
There are many commitments that I am trying to keep up with. And perhaps it is better to spend time finding that truly still place, than trying to do yet one more thing. Sure, I am tired right now. That is typical for me. Perhaps after a week or so of adjustment to doing what my soul needs instead of what I think everyone else needs, I will find that I a full of energy to give back.

I joined The Post Punk Kitchen forums yesterday. If you are thinking about becoming vegitarian or vegan, this is an amazing resource. I use a great deal of the baking recipies from their books: the Veginomicon and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
Yesterday I made vegan biscotti. But, I just can't let a recipe alone and I changed it up a bit. I added cranberries and slathered them in melted carob chips. I have spoken to several people who have said that until they tried mine, they hated biscotti.
Then I made peppermint patties. Turns out some of the ones that you buy have gelatin. That is a bad thing for a vegetarian. Standard rule here is that, if the animal has to die, we don't eat it. So, Hubby found a recipe that is better than the store bought ones.
Truly, yummies going on in my house. Eat now, art later.
Peace
