Crazy Maisie

Easter... another reason to eat

Someone is going to be the fool...

But it won't be me! Inside 2 of these cupcakes is a 'surprise' for someone at my office. Half of a hard boiled egg. Yuck!! But don't fret! There's enough icing to hide any foreign taste. I hope.

I ate my way through Vancouver

So full...

Is it just me...

Or are these pickles huge?! I didn't use any photo trickery 'cause let's be real here, I have no idea how to. There are 10 pickles in the jar and it weighs 7 pounds (mmhmm...I weighed it). Ok. That's it. Was so freaked out I had to share. Happy Sunday! Don't forget to set your clocks ahead if you haven't already.

Tarts and Tattoos

...I started the outline of my new "legwarmer". I suspect it will be done at the end of March. I really don't look forward to the needle on bone. Being 40%ish body covered now you would think I'd be immune to a little uncomfortable. That's all the whining I have in me for today :)Going to knit!

I only want to knit!

I've been taking knitting classes for about a year now. I feel pretty confident I can go at anything as long as there is a pattern in front of me. Before our last class ended (mittens- finished 3 pairs already!) we asked for another class as we wanted the leg warmers our super cute instructor Lindsey was wearing. She wouldn't give them to us so we had to make them. Here's the first 3 inches of the top. I'll post as they get to progress points. BFF didn't want to make leg warmers, she's making a baby sweater jacket thingy... her Boston Terrier, Saidie will probably end up wearing it. I'll post that when it happens too :)

PS: Ang, I hope you're proud. I think a sweater for Maisie is in the near future.

Sometimes you're just tired...

but you do it anyway because you love your friends. Especially when said friend is your tattooist and she needs her energy for the tattooing extravaganza you have planned for the next 3 months!

Vanilla Sugar

You don't know how many times I've heard "What the hell is in the sugar holder?!"
It's vanilla beans that I've used but still have some seed in them and are definately very aromatic. Why throw them out? I use them until there's nothing left!

I'm baking a lot today and tomorrow- I have a huge cupcake order to deliver on Tuesday. I'll update as I get 'em done.

Odd Food Products...

Apparently I'll eat anything- and usually like it.

I've had this tube of TUNA PASTE (mmhmm... that's right) in my pantry for about 6 months, kind of scared to try it. But today at work one of the pickiest eaters I know was having crackers with Tuna Paste on them. Ahh... yeah, of course I want one (ended up having 10!). It was good, really good. Not even tuna like, more like super smooth pate. So I love it, will need many more tubes. Luckily I cannot read any of the ingredients or if I'm even suppose to refrigerate after opening! I did, just in case. I'll send you a tube if you want to try it, really I will.


Just in case this isn't weird enough (and I bet this isn't even weird to half the world, just me.), how about some Ham & Eggs Chips?! Egg McMuffin in a bag. Haven't tried them, am really apprehensive, going to wait for Junior and we'll work up the nerve and I'll let you know.
