pink day

pink shirt pink scarf pink applesauce

cranberry applesauce: make applesauce, add a handful of cranberries. delicious? yes. pretty? yes.

i made some for my birthday dinner, and it went quite nicely with my legendary white on white cake. my mom made homemade almond frosting and everyone agreed it was the most ridiculously good cake ever made. it may have been her frosting--or my expert sprinkling job with the white non-pareils.

i would post a picture, but it's already been demolished.

blog inhibiting computer repairs...

oh my macbook. having him gone is like losing a friend. typing on this borrowed computer is some relief but not much.

don't worry too much, though--about me or my mac. it's just a 'clamshell' repair to get my iSight back up and running. luckily i am still within my warranty, so a whole new screen comes for $0.00. nice.

in any case, it's put a dent in my blogging abilities in what was already a slow week. sorry!

as a pictureless update, and a look to posts to come, in the last few days (computerless) i have read a few great books, taught another 'sweet sculpture' class'--this time we did cupcakes and other baked goods-- and made a lot of applesauce. i have been hitting up the green city market lately, to much success.

i also finally got around to making that nice african print skirt i mentioned back when i uploaded pictures of the remnants i purchased a few weeks ago. look what a few days without the internet can spur you on to finally accomplishing! i think i need to send my computer away more often.

plus...i am now watching the last season of little house on the prairie! i can't believe that this past year or so of watching an episode nearly every day is at the close! i will watch the culmination, the strangeness of season 9-- "A NEW BEGINNING".

(and then i will go right back to season one and begin again....)
