It’s 2010 Already

Sweets

I’m sure someone promised me a hover car, or something along those lines, by now! I figured it was about time I got round to uploading photos and letting people know how the holidays went. I took far less photos this year, why take photos of decorations that I took photos of last year! We […]

Recipes

Sweets

The observant among you will have noticed a new tab up there at the top – Recipes. Created primarily so I can save and back up all those recipes I have sat all over the place, on my desk, in scattered notebooks, some typed up all neatly but still a pain to sort through. Plus […]

I’m Getting As Bad As DmentD!

Sweets

When it comes to updating my blog that is *grins* Excuses aside, I just feel that I have less to talk about right now. Things have been going well, my work permit came through, all shiny and wonderful. So last Friday DmentD and I took a trip to the Social Security Office so I could […]

Catch-Up

Sweets

We had already planned the crawfish boil for the 9th, which turned out to be the day after our wedding, and so it became our unofficial reception. There was the mass genocide of many many bugs, plenty of other foods. DmentD’s delicious cheesecake, I made two sorbets (lemon lime and berry, the lemon lime was […]

Time Is Flying By

Sweets

We had a very busy week this week and it flew by! The holiday plate up went mostly well. I had a few problems with the doughnuts. They’re made and then frozen (given no time to proof) so that they fry consistently, and in a restaurant situation you don’t have to keep an eye on […]

Promised Photos

Sweets

And some photos not promised. First, DmentD and I at his work Christmas party at the museum, and then a couple of us playing about while we were baking! Next, the gift tins! And every item in them… We didn’t make the cat treats, but we did make everything else. It was so much fun […]

Dazed and Confused

Sweets

That’s mostly how I’ve spent this week! I gained a cold this week, which steadily travelled from my sinuses to my throat and now has taken up residence in my chest. Still, I made it to class every day, even if I was coughing through the demo and just trying to stay warm! Having 6 […]

7 Hours

Sweets

That’s apparently how long I can stay awake to keep DmentD company when we’re driving long distances overnight! I had class Wednesday night, with my exam for custards making the charlotte au cassis, it went well, my glacage was a bit thick but aside from that it went well.. my piping is improving, I still […]

The Name’s Bond…

Sweets

We went to see Quantum of Solace last night.. it was awesome. I’m really liking this Bond, gritty, rough around the edges, he can bleed and he has emotions.. ok at the moment mostly hate and angst but he can feel. Add the doses of gun fights, chase scenes and all those usual James Bond […]

Custards

Sweets

Laminated doughs finished nicely at the end of last week, the doughnuts and beignets were delicious and the exam went well, gaining me a nice A overall. We then fulfilled our tradition of going out for dinner at the end of the block, 9 of us this time, crowding into Magnolia eating and chatting and […]
