Christmas 2010

This holiday Pill and I made cheddar cheese (crust) apple pie at his parent’s house.  The pie came out fantastic and I believe the key to making a good crust is ensuring that the butter is kept pea size throughout the mixing process, and making sure to use ice water and chilling the dough before baking. We had leftover cheesy dough which P. used to make mini croissants.  Those were promptly eaten.

Hix House Room

Our beautiful room in Casa Triangular at Hix House, taken from behind the mosquito net on the bed. It was the perfect romantic getaway with just the right balance of rustic nature, posh luxury and modern technology (wireless 3G) :D

Halloween ’09-Mummified Pigs in a Blanket, people

This is long overdue but oh well.  These adorable and delicious mummy hotdogs were made by the bassist of Backlights! She used mustard to make the mummy eyes! What a great idea!!

Macy’s Flower Show and More Kalanchoe

 

flamingo

My co-workers and I got to do some window watching/live trend surfing during work today, so we stopped over to Macy’s, the mecca of hotness.  The smell of fresh flowers was overwhelming and look, more kalanchoe!  The flamingo above has a body made of a healthier/heartier version of kalanchoe plants than my still living but possibly on the brink of death kalanchoe plant.  I don’t know how long the flower show is lasting for, and I’m actually kind of too lazy to find out.  I figure it should last only about a week, maybe after the Easter Parade and considering the fact that cut flowers die.  It would be nice to take my mom out to see this though, she loves flowers.
