Went snow-showing Saturday. It was lots of fun, even managed to get a few decent pictures (although flickr isn't co-operating with uploading any right now.) The dark chocolate cupcakes turned out great; even my oldest who hates chocolate cake liked them. (My youngest said they were good except for the mint.) The champagne cupcakes were okay, but only okay so I won't be making them again. The champagne frosting with them, however, was quite delicious.

My oldest is turning 21 this week. Friday. She's going out of town to celebrate, though, so she's also celebrating Thursday night/Friday morning so I can go out with her as well. Pretty excited.

I made spinach-cheese stuffed manicotti...even chopped up fresh spinach for it. (The leftover cheese-spinach mixture was great in omelettes.) My oldest teases me about how I'm suddenly becoming "domesticated." The thing is, though, I've always enjoyed baking/cooking. Just not so much the cleaning up after and with my minuscule kitchen you have to clean constantly to do anything in it. But who knows, maybe I will get motivated and make some spinach fettuccine from scratch. Just not tonight.
