Dinner Anyone?

I may not be a Cake Boss, but I certainly can cook other things.

I hope this is as tasty as it looks.

Sage & Fried Onion Crusted Pork Roast

I wonder what wine goes with YUMMO!

My Advice.....

So we ponied up the $4.99 last night and got the movie "Watchmen" on demand as was requested by my sweetie. I didn't know anything about this particular movie and the info was vague at best. I like DC comic movies. I mean the Spiderman and Batman movies are up there in my top 20 favorite movies! How bad could it be?

I'll tell you.....

"Watchmen" is on another of my movie lists now.
It is number one, numero uno, bar none, the WORST movie I have ever seen.

Let us now add insult to injury and add that we got:

the EXTENDED DIRECTORS CUT VERSION

which adds a whopping 24 MINUTES to the pain of watching this movie.

My advice? See "Ishtar"....it's got to be better......

Cake Bosses we are not.....

April and I have been doing a little too much t.v. watching. Maybe we need to cut back. She is hooked on "Ace of Cakes" and I love "Cake Boss". We decided that it just can't be that hard to make a cute cake that you don't have to buy at the grocery store, and we would just bake one up.
The red one was Red Velvet with chocolate ganache filling, the yellow one had raspberry filling and the chocolate had bavarian cream filling. Sounds yummy, right? Well........We Tried.

It's much harder than it looks.
Dirty icing on t.v. is not this dirty....

It never fell over, but it was a little off it's horizon, shall we say. The back ended up looking better than the front. Icing can cover all evils though....

The end result was just as cute as can be. It looked great. Taste......well......We Tried!

The Big 04!

G-man turned the big O4 on the 9th, but it would appear the wedding of your older cousin on that day is more important than your onlyest fourth birthday, so we celebrated today with your favorite, LEGO's! You said you wanted "Red Cake" when asked what kind you wanted, so here it is! 30 people came for Beans & Chili and then, of course, CAKE!

Happy Birthday, my little man!

Man of LaMancha

Well, July just kind of flew on by, didn't it? I am knee deep into the 2009 Phamaly production of Man of LaMancha at the Denver Center. We opened on July 25th and close on August 16th. I will collapse on the 17th. I am the "Wig mistress and makeup coordinator" this year. I am having a blast and learning lots of new things about theatrical makeup and prosthetics. It's been fun. Wish I could make a living at it!
