Well it seems that although I have the best of intentions, that is not translating into postings. On an almost daily basis I think of things that I would like to post about so here is about a months worth of things that were floating around in my head (gripes if you will):
I was passing by the UofA campus and saw several people riding to class on bikes. That is a wonderful thing, making use of the man powered transportation that they have. There was even a push recently on enforcing the traffic laws more harshly when it comes to bicycle riding on campus to follow the same rules of the road. (DUH, if you ride in the road you must follow the same laws). Why then were there so many people with their helmets clipped safely on their backpacks, while they were riding? What exactly are they protecting in there? If they do that for aesthetic reasons, do they not realize that wearing them wrong looks worse than had they actually worn it right? hmmm?
On to the food!
After taking a short break from baking I returned with a valiant triumph. I had a friend request that I make a spicy pumpkin based cupcake with a cream cheese frosting. This was a welcomed request as once a year (Halloween time) I cook down at least 3 pumpkins and freeze the result to use throughout the year. I did some research on how I wanted to go about this and found a base recipe. Made the necessary changes before getting started and away I went. With my helpers watching from the table I mixed and added and sifted to my hearts content. The result was a moist cakey version of a Thanksgiving favorite. To top it all off a homemade cream cheese/ cinnamon frosting that pushes the cupcakes from delicious to positively sinful. As my pumpkin puree recipe is based on taste and not from a recipe this will be nearly impossible for anyone else to duplicate but God willing, I'll be making another batch next week!
Until Next Time! <3
