goodies.

I'm officially tired of baking. Well, for today anyway. I made three dozen chocolate chip cookies, two dozen hazelnut cupcakes with mocha filling, and one dozen cinnamon rolls. I need to go to the gym just to work off the batter-licking calories.

Mmmm...cinnamon rolls...

I like the Hazelnut cupcake "cake" part, but the mocha filling isn't really my speed. I don't like coffee flavored things. I do enjoy the idea of piping cupcakes full of mousse, though. These turned ot really pretty, with the ganache and the hazelnut crumbles. I doubt I have to tell you which cookbook the recipe is from. One would think that my entire life revolves around cupcakes. Umm.

On a non-food note, I like this picture that Ken took of me today.

It's been between 68-75 degrees here for the past few weeks. Pretty weird for Christmas. I kind of like it.

Tomorrow is Christmas eve! Yay! I hope the Ken likes his present.

Dude, you're a foodie and shit. You look pretty in that picture. Damn you and this spring-like weather. I will shake my cane at you, or my fist.
