While Im catching up on photos, I thought I'd make a quick post to show how cute baby showers can be ... look at the lil bunnies, pink and blue; the clothes line for the table placecards; and the decorative onesies!

Painted [Blue] Walls
I almost forgot to post pics of my [not so] newly painted apartment. I've been meaning to clean and organize for some time, but keep putting it off. In any case, here is the quick photo update - I wish the lighting was slightly better, oh well!
PS, I love personal days!

Some Sunday Things
Continuation of Project Apt ...

Sunday morning started a bit late - After Corpus Christi, I headed over to help Sarah prepare for her work bakeoff (required ingredient: strawberries - how versatile!) around noon. Despite my creative suggestions: strawberry & banana muffins with cinnamon, strawberry tart with fresh mint, strawberry buttercream macaroons, strawberry brownie cupcakes, or strawberry white chocolate cookies, she opted for something a tad less labor intensive -

I was also surprised (and unsurprised) to learn that she carries fresh vanilla bean from Costa Rica in her bag ...

We started lasagna preparations and I learned that giving tomatoes a cold bath deskins them. I also learned that the black part right under the cap of the mushrooms is an indication of freshness. Later after chatting with Jaimin about the best inventions in the last 25 years (internet, mobile communication), I decided to take a walk around his LES neighborhood.

Saturday Morning at Home
Over the past week, I've been trying to clean up my apartment because it's been messy for too long. A week later, and after getting rid of some things, I realize how much work it is to paint and am not sure if it is worth the effort.
I've been scrounging online for various pieces to refresh the look in my apartment but havent come up with much that would work. This morning after sleeping in and making lavender cupcakes, I decided to photograph some items in my apartment that I like - and in doing so, I notice there are many things that are placed just the way I like. When the apt is photo-friendly, I will post pictures as part of a series, Project Apt ...
On a different note, my lavender cupcakes turned out fine ... although there was a minor frosting glitch which turned some cupcakes into two-tones (look at the pretty rose below). The cake portion was super light and fluffy bc I beat the egg whites to a peaky foam. I also made last night almond gelatin with strawberries. And I was a lil amused by how I got a discount with the fruit vendor after unintentionally making a bummy face!
