The weekend is almost upon us once again.....thank goodness! I could really use a day off :) This weekend is actually a long weekend for us.
Last weekend was an absolute blast! As I had mentioned in my previous update, I got together with a bunch of friends for a b'day party. Of course, I volunteered to make the b'day cakes for the two friends celebrating.....and although it was a belated celebration for both, we had a ton of fun. We had dinner at a restaurant called the Smoke n' Bones cookshack. I won't venture off on a tyrade regarding the 45 minutes we sat in the lounge waiting to be seated for our reservation nor will I elaborate on the 'ditzy' waitress who forgot part of my order, but I will mention that the food was decent. Regardless, that will be my first and last trip to that particular restaurant. After dinner, it was time for dessert. I made a 'strawberry, fudge brownie cheesecake' and a 'choclate chip cookie dough cheesecake'.....and decadent they were...LOL! WOW! They were so rich!
And yes, they were very time consuming to make, but they were worth it!
I'm in my 'element' when I'm in the kitchen cooking. I swear it was something I was born to do and I really enjoy it. I tend to bake the most when I'm dieting.....while I lose weight, everyone around me tends to gain some. What fun would it be to bake if I didn't share it???? I do have some recipes in mind for my next day off, but somehow, I know I'll find a way to bake more than I had planned.'Food' seems to be making its way in to my journal more regularly....I'm not so sure that's a good thing....I may just seem a wee bit obsessed :)
As for sharing food/desserts......a few of my closest friends are always happy to consume anything I create! They've probably eaten more than they care to admit.
The outcome of the NY Pro was interesting! I was so pleased to see that Cathy L had won, she looked great!
As of Saturday, I've got 3 weeks left before I hit the stage to guest pose!!! My music is finished, my costume is ready and now, I just need to ride out the remaining days until it takes place.
On that note..I should get some sleep.
