What a week….

Ahhh, I missed my little blog. This has been one crazy week last week and not really in a great way. First and most mind consuming is that my sweet pup is sick. So an emergency trip to the vet was in order…except I can’t drive so that became quite an ordeal that is a story for another time as I have no energy at all. She is doing better but I still worry. :( I got many an email asking about how the foot is doing…in a nutshell…not good. I was told to rest and put my foot up until I went back to the Ortho next Friday. I have done none of that. And as of a result I am paying the price. I am quite sure the Ortho will yell at me and tell me I’m not healing and it is numb up to the knee cap most of the time. :S Bad Peabody. I miss getting to do normal things like oh say DRIVE. Stand for more than 30 minutes. Baking things complicated (like practicing wedding cakes!) hence today’s recipe. The privilege of wearing a variety of clothing (I wear the same three pairs of … [Read more...]

The Grass is Not Always Greener…

I don’t totally abide by the rule that there are no regrets in life. I think from time to time there are. I would hope some of the actions I have seen people take in their life they feel regret for…the key is just not to dwell on it. The grass is always greener syndrome seems to get people into a world of regret. For me I had a case of it many years ago when I left my teaching job for curriculum to make more money. I learned the valuable lesson of making more money doesn’t mean more happiness, in fact, I was miserable the majority of that year. But for most people they leave their pasture of grass for what they think is a greener pasture in the world of love and romance. And sometimes it is greener. But it’s mostly just greener on the surface…and often it’s just a little fertilizer ;). It’s kind of like the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. How can you not like someone who is handsome/pretty and nice that takes you out on wonderful dates and wines and dines you? The rush … [Read more...]

The month of thanks…

November 2, 2011 by · 21 Comments

I will start the month of thanks off by saying that I am super thankful for easy desserts. See I have a ganglion cyst in my right hand. 99% of the time it’s just there and doesn’t bother me. But every now and then it decides to move and sit on a nerve. That makes my whole hand up to my elbow go completely numb. Sometimes it last only hours sometimes for up to a week. I’m a few days in sadly. Very little baking and cooking…and no photography. Oh well. Luckily there are easy desserts, so easy I can make them left handed. :D This is an adaptation on a cake I LOVE. Dump Cake. You have to love a cake that you just dump stuff in. Though this version does require more work than the original. It’s soo yummy though. Think pumpkin pie meets cake. Don’t turn your nose up just because it uses cake mix. I have tried to recreate dump cake without using cake mix and is simply doesn’t work. Here’s to hoping my hand gets working soon so that I can get baking and get … [Read more...]
