Big surprise! There’s few things better than sweet, light, delicious home-made whipped cream. Mmm. I think warm weather makes whipped cream taste even better… not to mention the added fun of licking the blender bits! Ignore how messy the mommy is… I really need an apron apparently!! As a bonus, a pretty frilly housewife apron would be a lot more attractive than old workout clothes. 🙂 “Got to go, busy nom’ing on yummies!“

Dear Ms Curcuru, Thank you for your email regarding the availability of our puds in America. We have expanded into Europe (France & Belgium). Unfortunately our delicioüs puds are not currently available in the USA and sadly, because they must be kept chilled, it is not possible to ship them or to order them online. As you saw on our website, our products are sold by a company called Shaws: however this is a small UK-based company, as distinct from the US chain of stores. Our web team had unfortunately obtained the wrong logo, which I understand must have been…

We’re having a heat wave here for the next few days, so we’ve been playing outside. Somehow, today Bobo just got his first splinter. I didn’t notice until we came in for a juice break and was cleaning off his hands. Eek, splinters are so horrible!He was really good, sitting still and only protesting the pain a little as I removed it. The tweezers didn’t work and were apparently very painful, and I ended up just being able to slide it out with my fingernail (not in contact with the broken skin, it was hygenic). He didn’t like the alcohol…

When I first saw a PrincesstÃ¥rta I fell in love, they are so beautiful, so delicate, so Princess-like! They are a pale green, domed fondant (or marzipan) covered cake decorated with a rose on top. Inside they feature layers of sponge cake, vanilla custard, raspberry jam and artfully sculpted whipped cream. I mentioned my princess cake quest previously, and below are all the details. PrincesstÃ¥rtor are popular cakes in Sweden, and since I had never seen one before I figured the only way I would get to try one was to make it myself (apparently though they can be had…

I don’t know if anyone else used to use Geocities or has heard of it… but it was basically THE place to host your free website 10-15 years ago. Yahoo bought them some time after they weren’t very relevant anymore and lamely tried to make money on it. Maybe they did, I don’t know, but I think yahoo makes everything it touches cheap and stupid.Anyway, now Yahoo has decided to take everything Geocities offline… permanantly. Which means deleting all the tons of antique webpages (and some still relevant ones I’m assuming). Isn’t there some sort of Internet Historical Preservation Society…

UPDATE: I won! I conquered the PrincesstÃ¥rta…. mostly. More on this later. In the meantime… anyone want to come over for cake? We cannot finish this thing. (Original Post) This is my next project: A delicate, delicious and absolutely beautiful Swedish princess cake romantically called… PrincesstÃ¥rta. First I have to go grocery shopping to pick up supplies. Next, I will be making homemade marshmallow fondant. Then I will be baking the sponge cake. I will spend a very long time trying to assemble the whipped cream dome. Finally, I will totally fail at spreading the fondant over the whole thing.…

During Todd’s Spring Break, Arin got to enjoy a lot of company – and had a blast. He loved hanging out with the ‘big kids’. Here he is at the breakfast table with the guys… my cousin Dan, some tall kid, and Uncle Todd. I love that Bobo is already so into computers! Now he just has to invent the new Facebook (since the current one is down the drain) and then we can live happily ever after. 🙂

This was taken not long before the snows finally melted completely away from our yard… about a month after it was gone from the rest of the town!

So I’ve been trying to wrangle up a submission for Pioneer Woman’s Photobook contest which ends… soon?? You just upload some pictures to Snapfish and make a photobook out of them and then add it to her group, and then they pick 50 random winners. I want the photobooks, fo’ real… it’s been on my to-do list forever. AND EVER. But of course, I want them to look gorgeous and be all themed and color-coordinated and ahhh. Too much with the brain. Most of the photos I edit I am crazy and save them as web-sized jpgs. I don’t know,…
