Oh, blog friends, how I wished you all lived closer so that I could show up on your doorsteps with some of the food currently inhabiting my kitchen. You see, it's state screening auditions week here in Alabama, and I cope with the stress by cooking. Why, since Friday, I've made marble cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting, golden butter cupcakes, roast chicken and stuffing, homemade chicken soup (which ROCKS), and later I'll be making a fudge cake with buttercream frosting and chicken/sausage jambalaya. There are tubs of leftovers in my fridge and they contain everything from veggies to macaroni and cheese.
If we're facebook friends, you've seen my status updates, which fall under the category "What I'm cooking today." The truth is I love food. I like to eat it and cook it and I LOVE to watch others enjoy something I've made. Is there a recipe you'd like me to share? Let me know. If/when we ever meet in real life, I'll come bearing baked goods.
Now if you'll pardon me, I've got a date with some chicken stock and turnips. Stay tuned this week (Or next. Probably next.) for news. Not THAT kind of news. It's writing-related. (Though if you want a good HOLY COW, I'M PREGNANT story, go visit Amalah!)
Yummm.... I want some leftovers! Although, I currently have plenty oven-roasted potatoes, grilled pork chops, homemade spaghetti sauce, jumbo meatballs and cheesecake brownies in my kitchen. Yeah... it's been a stressful week here too :)

I would not be offended if you baked me something. ;) Something with butter cream would be yummy. I wish the baking gene hadn't skipped me.

Are you going to do NaNaBlowPop (or whatever it was called) again this year?

I wish you lived closer so you could teach me how to cook these wonderful things (and motivate me to do so!).
