I've got the baking bug....

Well you know it's a good day when you get up and see the sunshine streaming through your windows and actually FEEL like running on your treadmill at 6:30am. I find the sun makes a HUGE difference to my mind set..HUGE. If it's dark and raining, I tend to be more quiet, tired and have even been known to be cranky (GASP). When the sun comes out and you feel the warmth of it on your body, it does something to your brain waves and clicks them onto the right tracks again. I also find it's days like these when I get an URGE to just start baking up a storm in my kitchen. Muffins, cookies and cakes are being measured out and baked at warp speed and I am passing them out to anyone who happens by. I just had Gareth run out with a cookie for a neighbour who rode up on his bike. There, I AM giving back to my community!!

I, in a moment of a left over mini egg high, invited the inlaws over for dinner tomorrow night and now I am trying to get things prepared so I don't leave everything last minute. That would be my usual MO. I figure we hardly ever have the inlaws over so I better put an honest effort into the dinner to make them feel special enough to last another year (hehe). So the menu is Prime Rib Roast, Yorkshire Puddings, Potatoes Romanoff, asparagus and some peas and carrots. We will finish with a Chocolate Chiffon cake that is baking in the oven as I type. Please lords of the kitchen....let my meal be wonderful. My MIL is an incredible cook and I always feel it's like inviting her over to McDonalds when they come over here.

I hope my one reader appreiciated this post...lmao
