Welcome back, Earl of Baldwick. Did you and Robert have a nice Valentine's Day? marius and spouse did ... tee hee ... we forgot it, which is okay because we save our romantic offerings for unexpected times. |

Well, my sweetie and I had a lovely day. First we slept in, then we spent the whole day together, we even went for a nice walk although it was a little cold and windy out so we made it a short walk. It was the first time we gotten to go out for a walk for a few months so it was a nice treat. Somewhere in there we had a nap too (not while out on the walk though, hehehe). Then for dinner we had a hot oil fondue and later a chocolate fondue for dessert. It was heavenly! Then we watched a movie together and went to bed (I won't go into details after that ) |

I have been making homemade pizza quite often this year. |
||

I spread the pizza shell with a little tomato sauce and then a bit of grated cheddar cheese. |

Tonight's salad is iceberg lettuce with slices of cucumber, black olives, peeled navel orange and hard cooked egg. |

Hello again, Auntie B had a serious case of jet lag but things are slowly getting back to normal again. |

Oh Auntie B, what a lovely holiday you had. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Hopefully you did not get too carried away at Carnevale. |

Well, the people who were supposed to be viewing my house today came down with the flu so had to reschedule for sometime in the future. There were, according to the calling cards left on my dining room table, fourteen real estate agents checking things out here this morning. Then they will email me their comments and suggestions. |

Well, baked my cake layers for class tonight, but just can't seem to get into the swing of making the yucky icing. I have to make a double batch, then use part of it to frost the cake. That part has to be a fairly thin consistency. I then have to make multiple colors in multiple consistencies and put them into little tupperwares to take with me. I also have to pack up all the tips, and all the decorating supplies. I need a grocery cart just to get all of my supplies in the door to the class. Then when I get home, I have to clean all of this up. What a mistake this class was, but I'm determined to finish it up. The discouraging part is that I am the worst in the class. there is a 9yo little girl who does better than me in this class. And then, last week I just used instant pudding between my layers, and because the cake was out of the refrigerator for so long in the class, the pudding must have liquefied. So it absorbed into the cake and made it the most disgusting mushy mass! So not only was my cake UGLY, but it didn't even TASTE good! Imagine how ashamed Chef Baldur would be of me! And I shutter to think of what Auntie B would say. |

Do keep in mind Robin that 9 year old girls have cake on the brain so she has an advantage over everyone there. (I bet she's never made a bachelorette cake as good as yours either- at least I really hope she hasn't!) |

Can't believe that it was pancake day today and I never made any! I forgot. I have, however made a picin Avatars just to see if Baldur will change his mind about that medium??? |

My playback feature has not worked in months and months so I do not have to believe that bird was made in 'Avatar'. |

Baldur went to le Spoon Greasee for breakfast but doesn't dare consume their pancakes. Chef Al uses a boxed mix and I stole a furtive glance at the ingredient panel once. |

Turns out my current pair of specs need replacing (surprise, surprise). My pocketbook is now $820.00 lighter. Apparently my vision has improved in spite of staring at TD pixels for hours at a time, and reading Channel Baldur. But it seems I've developed a vertical astigmatism in my left eye which would explain the distorted image of a pole dancer I caught a glimpse of just before I logged out. Weird and scary and oddly fascinating. eeewww... |

Ack--baking powder with aluminum? I checked my baking powder container, and indeed it does contain aluminum. Now I feel like throwing the baking powder out. Pray tell, there must be a better baking powder. (This from a woman who refuses to use deodorants that contain aluminum, but cooks with aluminum pots and pans!) |
