Avacados and Bananas oh my!

Wow one month to the day since my last update, so much for keeping this up regularly. Umm so the olympics happened and I actually watched so much of it that I understood curling AND actually was excited about the Americans winning the nordic combined cross country skiing race. Yeah I became a fan, ridiculous huh? That's how I roll.

Man. I'm boring the greatest thing to happen this week was that I made many little loafs of banana bread and found avacados for 6/$1. To my credit it is only Tuesday so I can only imagine how the rest of the week is going to go. Very exciting! I've tried to make some baked good every week some have worked out well and some have been a complete failure. Why did I even want to try to make an eggless, butterless chocolate cake, it was TERRIBLE. Tasted like dry bitter cocoa. ugh. But all my other attempts have been rather good; pumpkin pie, devil's food cake, snickerdoodles and banana cream pie (not sure if this was a win considering that my mom gave them away before I could give them to Chester). Culinary wise I haven't done anything terribly fancy yet, just the same old enchilada, pulled pork, roasted chicken, pasta routine. I think its because I don't have cooking wine around that I don't feel things are fancy. haha I want to make a wine reduction or chicken marasla.

So my baby sister's 16th birthday is this week, she starts the beginning of important birthdays or what we like to call "birthday bonanzas" my other sister has her 18th and I have my 21st.
