fits and starts
Gah, four days since my last post and I feel all rusty. I’m not sure how to start one of these things.
Anyway, even though it’s somewhat after the fact, I want to thank the fine gals at Cupcakes Take the Cake for featuring my little cups of sin on their site and wave hello to all of the folks who wandered over here. I also need to acknowledge the sister-in-law, who was kind enough to procure many of the ingredients and also frosted the cupcakes, which is a step that I just don’t enjoy.
Thanks, bitch.
So, dudes. I need two things from you. I’m in the market for a new (biggish) purse/tote bag and would love some recommendations for handmade types. I’m also wanting to expand my food blog reading and could use some guidance there.
I have some more substantive posts floating around in my head but I’m still all disjointed.

The second one is actually a girl I knew from HS that happens to be one of my favorite mama writers and the last one is a guy that I met through having his wife on my LJ FL and they are both quite the nice people. The first one is a new one I have been reading.

I also love Smitten Kitchen, (Remember those delicious peanut butter ‘n’ chocolate chip cookies the baby helped us make over Christmas? From there.)
I also also like http://www.theamateurgourmet.com, I got my Brain-Dead Easy Man-Pleasin’ Pasta Thing from there. And http://www.seriouseats.com is probably the gold standard of food bloggin’.
And there’s always http://www.typetive.com/candyblog if you just want to read candy reviews.

Another plug for etsy.com. I also got a nice handmade bag as a gift from my friend who found it at Divertido in Lawrenceville. Not sure if they still have them, but I love it & get many compliments.
The only thing that sucks about it is that there is no zipper along the top, so it’s out if you’re travelling (otherwise, your tampons will go spilling all over the belt of the baggage screener, and really, who needs that? Not me.).
Oh, also? Smitten Kitchen has never let me down. LOVE HER.
