Life is Good

Today, the snow melted, the sun came out and the Cake Crusader awarded me The Worst of the Worst. Included in the list was Cake's arch enemy.  You may know him as the The OSR's Hottest Elf Chick
and promoter of pie. 

Then last night when I got home from the shop, Tim showed me that I was a guest baker at Barking Alien's place. It's me and the Swedish Chef. We made biscuit/scones with strawberries and cream.  I loved it.  So much fun.  To add to the laughs, Tim read the entire post to me using the Chef's voice.  Am I a lucky girl? I think so.

And now ... we're headed into a three day holiday for our anniversary, I made shrimp and carrot rice for the weekend, and there's a chicken roasting in the oven for supper.

And for dessert?  Well, I can't tell you because it's not THAT kind of blog.  But I will say this ... life is good.

Organic brown short grain, carrots, raw ginger, garlic and shrimp.

Then I used Pyrex bowls to store four servings.  So easy.

  9. That looks amazing, but then again, I have a soft spot for shrimps/prawns.

    Oh, and happy anniversary. Our anniversary is this weekend, too (the missus and I, not Brandon and I... I hope that goes without saying).

  10. Hi Trey: I've never been blog roasted before. I was in good company.

    Hi Bard: Thanks bunches. Nothing big planned, just a mini-staycation kind of thing.

    Hey Beer: Happy Anniversary to you and the missus (not Brandon).

  11. What's wrong with you people? The sun is highly over-rated as a concept. The high in San Antonio today was 94 degrees F (that's like 11,000 degrees C according to my admittedly terrible conversation math).

    Seriously, many congrats on the anniversary. The family that blogs together...I dunno...cuts logs together. Whatever. Congrats and keep on rocking the food blog world.

    It's Friday. Yeah.
