Transient Dreams

Jim went grocery-shopping today (I’m so lucky to have a husband who doesn’t mind going grocery-shopping on a Sunday.) and bought tacos! He also bought me Dutch Apple Pie. He’s so thoughtful. He always remembers the things I like. Anyway, the tacos were supposed to be for dinner but we ended up making it early. He bought the Taco Bell double deckers. It was so good! (I’m always wary of cooking ground beef — I stood by the stove almost the whole time I was cooking it.)

My mother-in-law wrote me an email today asking about Thanksgiving. Jim and I are hosting it this year and everyone’s bringing something. We’re going to try doing the turkey. I’m so nervous! I’ve never cooked turkey. I was usually in charge of finger food, sandwiches, salads and desserts. Oooh, I’m going to make graham cake. :D That’s one thing I know people will like. It’s always been a hit at home. I might make homemade ice cream too. Wish us luck with the turkey!!!

I love cake. Who doesn’t? :D

I don’t eat cake very often and can usually only eat one slice but I do love looking at them. LOL. There are some cakes that look too good to eat.

I’m watching Amazing Wedding Cakes right now and WOW, my dreams of baking? Poof. I don’t think I can spend long hours laboring over something that disappears the moment you set it down on the table. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating but gaaah!!! If I ever do bake a cake, the biggest one will probably be those good for two people? LOL. I definitely want to learn how to bake pies. I LOVE apple pie. Now that’s one thing to keep in mind. I have to figure out a way to make a healthy pie – one that Jim would eat and not worry about getting fat.
