More Pizza

Last Saturday, we had pizza again (imagine that). But, more exciting than the pizza was the company! We had tons of fun. Rachael, Sarah, Alex, and Mike all came for SNP. While we ate, we watched the finale of The Amazing Race (which I love and I made everyone love it with me). After the show, we played games. I really like playing games and we had a lot of fun. First we played Pictionary, which Sarah and I totally dominated. Next, we played Outburst, which is a lot of fun. And then, we played Apples to Apples. We also enjoyed cupcakes that Rachael made...super yummy. It was so much fun...I want to do it again. We stayed up really late but I didn't mind at all because we were having so much fun. I didn't take any pictures, but Rachael did (thanks Ray-Ray). Here is proof that we had a great Saturday night!

Baking Frenzy

Today was one of my co-worker's birthday. We decided to plan a big celebration because he turned 50. So, since I'm the most qualified baker in my office, I had a lot of work to do. We invited quite a few people, from other offices, so I had to prepare for more than my usual birthday crowd. That meant that last night I was baking up a storm. (Not literally, although right now it is storming outside...rain and lightning and thunder, oh my.) My office really is spoiled...I enjoy baking so they enjoy the results! Included in today's birthday extravaganza:

-->Chocolate Cupcakes
-->Brownies
-->Chocolate Chip Cookies
-->Banana Bread
-->Chips & Salsa (for something salty instead of sweet)

My apartment smelled so yummy...like fresh baked cookies. My co-worker asked for "something chocolate" so that's what he got...and that's what my apartment still smells like! Here is a taste of what I did last night.


Tomorrow we're off to Milan for a 3-day weekend. Oh, by the way, Bill is here...YAY! He arrived yesterday and we couldn't be happier. When I come back, I'll write my first post about traveling, because until now this blog has been only about "tasting" and not about "traveling." I'm looking forward to sharing our trip with you and rounding out my blog title.

Have a good weekend!
