And in other news pigs were actually seen flying over Susan's house!

In a rare occurance (especially since I became pregnant!) I actually cooked some food! I KNOW....it's craaaaaaazy!!! I have been wanting to make these yummy looking muffin thingy's on TASTEBUDS blog. The official name is not muffin thingy's it is in fact CINNAMON HEAVEN which is a perfect name for these! The girls and Bri just sat patiently waiting for me to whip these up, every few seconds asking me "are they ready?". G was especially excited to see the blog pics of the muffins and to know that her beloved "Anne-Boree" (like Gymboree) had made them first!
They were yummmmmmmy! And I took the advice of Tastebuds and did not have one moment of guilt over putting a warm cinnoman heaven in my mouth :)

And to top off my cooking weekend I also whipped up some fresh salsa! Dearest Vanessa who always supplies me with excellent conversation and food made some salsa last week and sent some home with me. It was so freaking yummy I ate the whole bowl, Bri kept trying to get in there with a chip but let me tell you I was quite clever at boxing him out of the action. When something tastes good and does not threaten to reappear in the toilet bowl or barf bucket I'm going to eat it until the plate is clean!
I called her the next day to order a few gallons of this creation, she gave me the recipe instead *snicker*. Now apparently the anaheim peppers are not as hot so I used these since Bri is not a spicy salsa fan. It tastes super yummy the next day after it has been soaking in its' own goo over night. I'm wondering what it would taste like with regular tomatoes? Hmmmm perhaps I'll have to try this out mwahahahaha.
Vanessa's Salsa
7 Roma tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
1/4 c cilantro
2 serrano or anaheim peppers
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 lime (juice)
1/4 of a medium onion
Chop 'em, mix 'em up, let 'em sit, eat 'em with chips. (All measurements approximate and changeable to taste).

And in one final joyful surprise today....better grab the big puffy coat and hat and bundle up tight....
