Cupcakes….so much more

The cupcake was said to have made its debut  around 1826 when we can see its first recording in an American cookbook being given its name not for its size and shape but for the quantity of ingredients used within. The controversy arises with a conflicting recipe from 1796 has the cakes baked in cups.  In either case many hold firm that it is an American invention.  For more in the cupcake history please link to Foodtimeline.org

YouTube - How not to make bread

AAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA   Just plain funny.

Made some bread today and wanted to make sure I was following proper technique.  This guy sure taught me a thing or two.

I have read “A very Hungry Caterpillar over 500 times” My oldest makes the munching sound my second likes to poke his finger into the holes and my youngest well she likes how it tastes and I like that it always makes them smile.  Thank you Mr. Eric Carle.

NICK VEASEY | X-RAY PHOTOGRAPHER

When I was pregnant with my second I had gone for a routine ultra sound, Baby was healthy and looked great the tech informed me though that they were out of printer paper for the ultra sound machine so alas I would not have a picture of the event. I understood and said something like “No worries”. The really neat thing is, when I was leaving the technician came running down the hall. She had the Ultra sound image transferred to an X-ray sheet. How very nice of her to go through the trouble and how very COOL. Looking through some boxes the other day I came across the X-ray sheet. Should I make it into a lamp? Now that I have it what's the best way to display it? Well Google to the rescue, but got sidetracked and found artist Nick Veasey instead just had to share.  photo Nick Veasey
