Take Two: Pay it Forward

So my last post included several different memes and I guess that the last one kind of got lost in the confusion. So I'm reposting it, since I'm surprised that so few people want free cookies:

I first saw this on Dandelion Mama's blog, but unfortunately didn't win. But my friend mhuff won and posted on her blog, so I was lucky enough to win over there. She mailed me a beautiful necklace a while ago and I feel bad that I have taken so long to return the favor.

The way this particular thing works is that you have to leave a comment in order to be entered into the contest. I will pick three random commenters on Sunday Night and they will win a prize made by me. Since I'm not very crafty, I will make some sort of baked goods. If you live near me it might be something like cupcakes, if not it will be something more sturdy that will last in the mail. You must be willing to pass on the good will if you win, so remember that when you enter the contest. Why don't we make things interesting by describing our favorite and least favorite baked goods?

Do I have to tell you that I like pain au chocolat or tarte au citron (lemon tart), and that I loathe store-bought cookies again, or can my post on the last post be sufficient. :)

Ooohh, a chance to win something cooked by you is definitely worth it. Current favorite baked good is a lava cake that a friend recently gave me the recipe for. Yum! Worst baked good ... anything my MIL makes. The one time she made something normal, chicken noodle soup, she yelled at me because I tried to dish it into my bowl. "The bowl is for the salad!!" she screamed. Yup. The Chicken noodle soup was to be ladled over bread put on the plate. Yuck!

My favorite baked good would definitely be a fresh marzipan croissant. Just thinking about one makes my mouth water. I don't know that I have a least favorite, unless rye bread counts. Yuck!

Sorry to be totally boring, but my favorite baked good is a chewy chocolate chip cookie. I think this is a pregnancy development. I mean I've always liked cookies, but lately, I've been a little obsessed.
My least favorite would have to be lemon bars. I hate any dessert that is lemon flavored. In fact, I hate all warm or cooked fruit. It just seems unnatural. I'll admit, there's a chance I have never actually eaten a lemon bar, but the thought disgusts me.

Sadly I like most baked goods. My favorite ones tend to involve fresh fruit as in a cheese cake with strawberries on top. Yum!

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".
