    I've never had it before. This will be my first attempt. And I actually found out after starting to make it that I didn't have enough zucchini, so I improvised a little bit...but I'm still a little nervous.

    It's hard to screw up. I'm sure it'll come out fine :)

    And the pic has been posted. :) I figured you would be excited about the bread. You were my original inspiration for trying it, way back in the day!

    Zucchiniiiiiiiiiii. :) Yum.

    I'm going to be participating in the Bookworm's Triathalon today. It starts out with a fast-paced drive to the bookstore which requires expertise in avoiding cops while speeding and the ability to beat out other customers (your competitors) for a parking space. Then you must apply your knowledge of your bookstore's unique organization system to find potential books to buy before other competitors nab them. The final stretch is a seated marathon in one of the big comfy chairs as you leaf through your prospective purchases.

    :D

    Yeah, I'm a four-time champion bookworm triathlete. ;) No autographs.

    You know, I'm starting to feel like this is something that should actually be established.

    I do my bookworm's triathlons on amazon.com. Saves on gas. And the selection is bigger than the local Barnes & Noble's.

    It does look good, but the butterflies look like pre-molded mints to me.

    Well, I can vouch for their taste. So much so that I just had to have two.

    And the butterflies aren't exactly pre-molded, nor minty. :)

    I did make the butterfly using a mold but it's only my first try at cupcake decorating and will be progressing to making my own molds like I do with my clay modeling. I just have to get used to the texture of the icing first so I know what I can and can't do with it.

    Well, I'm a pastry expert so I definitely know what I'm talking about.

    (I use sugar at some point, right?)

    In all seriousness, my last post wasn't meant as a slight against your baking at all.

    The season finale of Doctor Who is finally here. =D I'll be sure to watch it at 8:00 PM.

    This is the first Doctor I've actually watched and enjoyed for a full season. Can't wait for the X-mas special and Season 6.

    Once you've watched it, Link, you'll have to check my retrospective review of the whole season (on my blog) and let me know what you think.

    In n Out makes me smile. I asked for a hamburger with nothing but pickles on it...so they seriously put like twenty pickles on it. The pickles were thicker than the meat. It cracked me up.

    That's a real restaurant?
    I saw my professor wearing a t-shirt from there once and I thought it was meant to be dirty!
