So I am off today, and that didn't stop me from getting up early (7:44am to be exact) and getting a start on my day. I made a grocery list - which is a first in about 2 months - I always used to but have been so picky lately that it is hard to make "planned" food choices. I heart fast food is what i am trying to say. Anyways, today i headed to the store and got all motivated. So when i came home - i not only had ingredients for fettucini alfredo, pot roast , chicken with actual veggies, but the ingredients for spice tea and chocolate cake with ganache frosting.
I am normally not a "real" baker. I guess i agree with Sandra Lee from Semi-Homemade way too much. I am notorious for saying "it's home-made" when in actually I did bake it, but it was a mix that i added the ingredients too, and maybe a teaspoon of vanilla (my secret for making it taste more homemade) :-) So today, i actually made a chocolate cake from scratch and made homemade ganache using milk-chocolate and whipping cream. And drumroll please....it tastes "tha-bomb" (there are not many situations that this wording can be used at my age, but this one is)
Also, we got the great news last week that our crib we ordered from Storkland is in. So we will be picking it up sometime this week. We have also been moving furniture around to make room for Baby Bean and its oodles of stuff. I have also been crazy-cleaning lady today...which is a good thing. I guess I am also trying to forget about the fact that I cannot wait to find out (2 weeks from today) what our first-born child will be. I cannot wait to finally know who I have been dining with for the past 4 months :-)
Tootles for now! More to come later as always!!
