Hey friends. I've set up a Bakerlady Facebook page - but (since I'm not paying for my wordpress site) can't put the "like" button on my widgets. Lame! So...just a little note to tell you that you can head over to Facebook's pages, search for "Bakerlady" - and find me. Seriously. Totally lame that I… Continue reading Facebook

Technical Difficulties

So, I'm having a bit of a problem with my computer. Well, actually, with my computer screen. It's dead. It has given up and gone on to a better place. Which means I'm left with my tiny netbook. Which is great to have, but not so fantastic for editing photos. We'll be getting a new… Continue reading Technical Difficulties

30 Day Shred – Injured Reserve

Take me out coach. I'm hurt. While moving boxes, couches and a 9 foot Christmas tree on Saturday, I managed to tweak my back. Sunday morning I was hurting. Badly. I popped some Advil and muscled thru my responsibilities at church. The dull ache in my back blossomed into a constant wincing pain after I… Continue reading 30 Day Shred – Injured Reserve

Harry Potter Hangover

Apparently I am not young anymore. What happened to the times of old when I could stay up all night and go to work the next day functioning pretty close to normal? Wherever they disappeared to, they are long gone. I guess I haven't tested my ability to manage on just a few hours sleep… Continue reading Harry Potter Hangover

Gourmet Pumpkin Soup

This soup is GORGEOUS! It's also delicious. How much salt you need will greatly depend on what kind of chicken stock you use. Don't add all your salt at the beginning!

Rosmerta’s Butterbeer

Yes, it's true. I love Harry Potter. The movies are entertaining, but I really love the books. I re-read them about once a year. Yes, the whole series. While trying to figure out my tickets for the upcoming (November 18th!) premiere of the first installment of the final book-turned-movie, I stumbled upon a fan website… Continue reading Rosmerta’s Butterbeer

Final Cabbage Soup Diet Recap

My final thoughts on the cabbage soup diet are as follows. DO. NOT. TRY. IT.   I re-think that it is terrible and should not be followed ever. Yes, I lost a bunch of weight for a specific event.

Put together some cake bites for the family get together for gift opening. Congrats to the new Mr & Mrs Desimone!

Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 5

Day 4 was pretty crazy. I ended up eating 7 bananas and almost an entire half-gallon of milk. I felt pretty stuffed most of the day. Had a crab and shrimp Louie salad with no dressing at the rehearsal dinner, and took a bit of ribbing for not eating any of the peanut butter, cheesecake… Continue reading Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 5
