I happen to have Meyer Lemons

Meyer Lemon Mini Muffins

As luck would have it (I really could have tied that into

yesterday's luck of the Irish), I actually purchased

Meyer Lemons this morning thinking that

a tart a citron may be in order.

But, upon a wee peek at my new favourite cooking blog

Crepesofwrath.net

I found these delectable delights

I now have plans for at least a portion of my day.

On My Need to Bake

The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies

Those of you who may have followed this portion of my blogging life

know how I love to bake.

The truth is, I am unsure if it my love of baking, opposed to my

love of eating said baking is where my other passion lies.

(you know I love the smell of wet paint).

Painting results in few calorie consumption which my answer a question unspoken, but

that remains for another day.

The blog posting I am featuring today

has, perhaps, the most delicious photos of

a chocolate chip cookie I have ever seen, and I have seen more than a few.

Therefore, I share with you a link to the Crepesofwrath site, so, we may meet again

and discuss the wicked merits of Chef Torres cookies

Superbowl Cookies

Oatmeal cookies with coconut, dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries,

and mini butterscotch chips,

and

frying pan cookies (no bake with chocolate, oatmeal, coconut, butter and sugar)

I should be doing other things, but....

I wanted to share this with you

It's the Big Kahuna Breakfast

I had it in a diner on Maui the day after I did

the Maui marathon in 2009 (the hardest race I have EVER done)

It consists of pancakes, a whole fresh sliced banana, fresh pineapple, whipped cream, and toasted walnuts.

I almost cried it was so good and I was in desperate need of decadence.

The BEST breakfast ever.

Cutie Pies - as promised

I know they sorta bubbled up and are not "Martha Stewart" quality visually,

But Hey Now, do they not look juicy and delicious.

Well, that is how they taste too.

The baking is done, and the packages are wrapped

two dozen cherry and blueberry cutiepies

for the dessert auction at

Crosslands Church.

Proceeds to their mission this summer in Malawai.

I hope they are a hit and can raise lots of money.

Today's Baking

Two close friends of mine attend the same church. The church is holding a dessert auction tomorrow night to raise funds for a mission to Africa this summer. Though I am not a member of their church I love to bake and of course to support such a wonderful project. Here is my plan, Pie In A Jar. It's snowing here today and forecasted for tomorrow as well so I want something that will travel well, cute, different, and can be consumed will little difficulty at the auction. And well hey, they are just plain CUTE too.

As I have been getting out the ingredients today I discovered I am out of white sugar. HOW can that happen? Must of been a Christmas thing. So I am finalizing a list and heading out to make a few purchases. I'll post finished results tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Living Boldly is not that Easy

At the Apple Store

One day left of the warranty

and having a wee problem with the Mac

Should I purchase the extended care???

Live dangerously

what if my little problem

becomes a bigger one

Living boldly with audacity

is not always attractive.

Trying desperately to get the Mac

to act up again so the guys can figure out what the problem is.

Thus this post

Live boldly my friends
